Possibly biggest moment of the Starmer premiership so far. Recognition of new realities- that it's hard power which matters now.
Smart politics too in that it might buy some extra bandwidth with Trump/political influence in Europe. Can also so be sold as part of reindustrialisation strategy.

WHY no more Tax on Amazon, or Google, or 'X' - the people who are FUNDING the Fat Orange Slob who is the cause of this ?
WHY are the the poorest people on the Planet being made to 'pay' for Trump & Putin's stupidity ?
Because if so, that will mean that at least two of the biggest aid donors on the Planet will have cut Aid to the poorest people on the Planet, largely because of Trump ?

Unless he wants to suffer the most humiliating loss in the next election, he has to stop posturing and start improving the lives of citizens
rich, windfall taxes on over-rich companies etc?
It is time to wind down the US's role in NATO and build capacity. Expelling the US from NATO will probably have to happen within a decade. The US's foreign policy interests have changed.
Ah, the good old ‘military-industrial complex’.
It's Pitiful.
Choosing to cut Foreign Aid isn't pragmatic. It's using the most vulnerable people in the world to impress racists & fascists.
No excuses.
You might want to spend our money on other people, I'd rather protect my family.
We need to do both.
Foreign aid has already been cut substantially under the Tories.
…”spend our money on other people”.
No!
You are not understanding the importance of foreign aid.
Instead, you sound like the people we need protection from.
We need a peaceful approach, not Britain on a warpath and leading the way. We are not a superpower, we should provide aid & support, not military force.
But this is war and therefore our nations security comes first. Even before our own food, housing and welfare. It is the biggest threat.
Aid spending should be spent on friendly nations first.
