Not good enough, meaningless statement.

Who is this 'he'? What a fkn useless, pointless, statement

Finally 🫠

But Starmer has himself stayed silent.

rmgriffiths.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Well he’s been on the phone.

onlyoneplanet.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Not said anything though has he. Hiding behind spokesperson

I’m just not putting my eggs in the social media basket. If some actual good can be done by mediating between leaders on the phone, I’m sure I can wait for his press team to write a post.

onlyoneplanet.bsky.social•18 hours ago

You can’t mediate Trump. He’s clinging to a fantasy of a world that’s gone.

rmgriffiths.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Well I’d rather someone try rather than post on social media. But that’s just me.

@Keir_Starmer Sunday you will host European leaders including @ZelenskyyUa. You see yourself as the bridge between Europe & US. Until today this made sense but now #Trump is clearly allied with Putin & against Ukraine. You can’t ignore this.

"he" is Starmer here?

Minimum acceptable statement for trying to act as a "bridge". Won't be either easy or comfortable for him, and by extension us.

Not good enough

It’s not at all clear to me this this is the case; I think it as likely that the Prime Minister is trying to shore up a non-existent ‘special relationship’ with the US. For all practical purposes Trump & Putin are one & the same. Both are aggressors; both are a threat to European peace & security.

This is just very bad politics, never mind the morality. I guess a day is a long time in politics now, let alone a week. We’ll be getting the promise of a strongly worded letter next!
