British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has refused to comment on the Trump attack on Zelenskyy, the FT reports.
The only major European leader to do so.
The only major European leader to do so.

Let’s see how long that position lasts.
You hit the nail on the head
There is only one shore (beautiful analogy by the way)
If Vance and Trump created this exchange on purpose, there is no real heat to remove or bridges to be built
Anyway, Brexit, seemingly in more ways than one.
Still no support for Canada's threatened sovereignty doesn't Five Eyes, NATO, Commonwealth, and lives lost in wars as allies: Boer, WW1, WW2, count for anything anymore?

What has changed is that from the fog of war positions have clarified
And well timed for Starmers security conference on Sunday
The bridge may be critical. Particularly as US owns UK nukes
I’m certain Macron has one he can lend out. There might be some highlights and dog eared pages but otherwise in good condition
You cannot negotiate with an insane person.
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
We need our remaining allies to all understand that the United States is now our adversary and that we need to start treating them as such.
Donald Trump, I know him that can't be...
All alone, watch them run
They will tear each other into pieces
Oceans rise, empires fall...
But I still think we need to stand with them.
I don’t even think he needs to come out and call Trump a twat, just that we’re with them.
I fear his lawyer mind is weighing words too carefully for the sands of time are running out.

Starmer doesn’t realize that he’s been played.
The UK is the only viable nuclear deterrent to Russia in Europe, and Starmer gone flaccid after a few strokes.
This evening aside, US needs to be kept on side
Starmer is the bridge
Europe has procrastinated its security for 10+ years now. Finally there is impetus to do something. Getting that organised takes time. The US is needed for now. The US is not our enemy
And puts him in a group of leaders - with Orban and Meloni - not to declare their support for Ukraine.
“The Prime Minister has tonight spoken to both President Trump and President Zelensky.
“He retains unwavering support for Ukraine, and is doing all he can to find a path forward to a lasting peace based on sovereignty and security for Ukraine…"
Today I am embarrassed
Damn him to hell
The only way to deal with this is to unequivocally declare unity with Europe and against the United States.
+ gutless UK Labour have been pandering to Trump and Musk since Nov 6
“He retains unwavering support for Ukraine, and is doing all he can to find a path forward to a lasting peace based on sovereignty and security for Ukraine…
Starmer and Europe now need to bugger Trump.
Gutless starched shirt.
The faster he realizes that the less of a fool he will be made out to be.
No Keith, you can't.
OK, it's not a major European leader; you're right.
I hope.
There's also the little matter of the state visit to consider and that will need management.
Who will he speak up for? Putin?
Unfortunately for us, Starmer is more worried he’ll be known as the PM that ended the ‘special relationship’, while everyone else already sees him as the second UK PM that appeased a Fascist tyrant.
This is disgraceful
No Keith, you can't.
... right?
He knows that without the EU, the UK is now nothing and is afraid to stand up to fascism.

There is a difference.
Media as always looking for a negative since they were all unable to yesterday.
Some things take time and consideration.
Trump is an insane, arrogant and lunatic old man.
