Are we absolutely sure this isn’t Starmer in an "et tu Brute" moment? Sorry if you don't like the analogy folks - remember Starmer was Corbyn's "best friend" until he metaphorically stabbed him in the back.
Slava 🇺🇦.

lesleya.bsky.social•64 days ago

Not everything is about Corbyn.,

perthlass.bsky.social•63 days ago

It's not about Corbyn. It's about duplicity. Open your eyes!

lesleya.bsky.social•63 days ago

Eyes open thanks

joemcateer.bsky.social•64 days ago

And Zelensky was best mates with Johnson

mikenich.bsky.social•64 days ago

What a difference 👏👏👏

aliwatkins73.bsky.social•63 days ago

Because it is a perfectly normal, decent thing to do.

armitage-jones.uk•64 days ago

Cracking start.

miak06.bsky.social•64 days ago

joemcateer.bsky.social•64 days ago

Reminder that Zelensky was best mates with Johnson.

Two survivors of meetings with the stinky Orange one show each other support.

mikelfrance.bsky.social•64 days ago

Unfortunately he’d do the same to Netanyahu.

lioncub19.bsky.social•64 days ago

No, he really would not.

bossybritches22.bsky.social•64 days ago

Nope.

pastapete.bsky.social•64 days ago

Camera don’t lie!

horsetamer.bsky.social•64 days ago

That is what we want to see! A big old hug from his British mates....

joseybackupnorth.bsky.social•64 days ago

That hug is from everyone in UK!

spamelanie.bsky.social•64 days ago

It really is!

bossybritches22.bsky.social•64 days ago

Abso-bloody-lutely!

A genuine hug of friendship & mutual respect, unlike the Johnson/Sunak era camera opportunities. My heart goes out to President Zelenskyy & Ukraine & a massive thanks to Sir Keir for showing strength & leadership when necessary. Together with the rest of Europe, we will support our true friends.

joemcateer.bsky.social•64 days ago

trevm12.bsky.social•64 days ago

The days before Johnson was outed as a Russian ally with friends in high places all over Russia. He counted on Russian funding for the Tory party. Even put the son of a former KGB agent into the House of Lords against the advice of UK security services. Ukraine have long seen through his act.

joemcateer.bsky.social•64 days ago

And the UK ambassador to the USA Peter Mandelson appointed by Starmer? Have you forgotten his close ties with Russian Oligarchs?

trevm12.bsky.social•64 days ago

At the time, the EU was Russia's largest trading partner, there were regular visits to & from the country for trading summits & business deals. Quite simple really. Keep trying, you might find someone eventually.

joemcateer.bsky.social•64 days ago

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/06/peter-mandelson-swears-at-reporter-after-question-on-epstein-relationship This is the calibre of person Starmer is close to.

joemcateer.bsky.social•64 days ago

This was nothing to do with the EU but keep trying https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/jul/11/the-moscow-moves-how-peter-mandelson-firm-helped-uber-reach-russian-elite

Charles hugging Zelenskyy tomorrow is huge. HUUUGE.

Should have a sleepover, Trump would explode

The hug we all want to give him!

rsummerscales.bsky.social•64 days ago

The KGB Agent Orange won’t like that

bossybritches22.bsky.social•64 days ago

Hopefully the 🍊💩 will implode, as Daddy Putin won't be happy either.

heatherherbert.uk•64 days ago

Who? Oh you mean the tin pot dictator across the sea

dc4hope.bsky.social•64 days ago

Demented diapered PedoRapist traitor trump is golfing again today and won’t remember what happened even an hour ago.
Traitor Trump’s demented rapist ass should be sitting in an elder care facility for the criminally insane under lock and key until he is DUST!!

luluskydiamonds.bsky.social•64 days ago

👏👏👏👏

debgrier.bsky.social•64 days ago

I think that's a clear message to Trump,from Kier,that he will not be bullied,and he is not frightened of him.
Well done a good stand from Sir Kier and the UK.

grumpyauldfella.bsky.social•64 days ago

👍

dc4hope.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’m my heart I will pretend this hug is also from myself and Americans who stand with Pres Zelensky and Ukraine and
AGAINST demented Putinbootlicker traitor tRump

🥺💔

aliwatkins73.bsky.social•63 days ago

I have a great deal of empathy for decent American people. Stay strong my friend.

mancman44.bsky.social•63 days ago

From a Brit, here’s a bit of advice:

magslittlefish.bsky.social•63 days ago

❤️

mesoho.bsky.social•63 days ago

Careful Volodomyr. He hugged us too 🏳️‍⚧️ then knifed us in the back

socialistexpat.bsky.social•64 days ago

So starmers officially cancelled trumps state visit then? If not then this hug is meaningless

mancman44.bsky.social•63 days ago

Starmer needs Trump onside…at least for now.

socialistexpat.bsky.social•63 days ago

Like chamberlain needed Hitler on side

mancman44.bsky.social•63 days ago

That’s not what I mean. What I’m saying is, right now, the UK and Europe cannot defend Ukraine from Russia without American involvement - that may be air support, or satellite surveillance, or something else, but to go it alone right now won’t deter Putin and Starmer knows this.

socialistexpat.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yes they can

tpine99.bsky.social•64 days ago

NOW he's amongst true friends and allies.

vickyr.bsky.social•64 days ago

Give Zelensky an honorary knighthood - stick it to Trump.
