For our PM the door is always open to Zelensky and Netanyahu, yet when it comes to the Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank Jordan he has deaf ears funny that isn’t it. Maybe it’s his Jewish background who knows he only has time for certain people.🤷🏼♀️
Imagine, a hero’s greeting for a man locked in the battle of his life for 3 years. How crazy is that? I will not forgive a single person who voted for the idiot.
There are stories circulating on a few US sites that he is furious that all of the European leaders have come out so strongly and unitedly in support of Ukraine, and he’s also bemoaning the hit to his chance of a Nobel peace prize. No idea if any of this is true, of course.
In his arrogance, he will surely have assumed Europe would fall in line behind him. Instead, while they have wisely not mentioned him by name, he will likely interpret their failure to do so as being disrespected. Hurty ego.
He doesn't care. Why should he? Nobody really opposed him so far. Did he pay any repercussions for his bullying behaviour? He didn't. He will keep getting whatever he wants from European countries. European leaders are too scared of him and too reliant on the US to dare do something different.
Confused why some comments are saying it is late?? I mean fine he didn't jump to social media straight away l, but he's invited Zelensky a day earlier than expected to the UK to meet, freed up more money as support and shown support publicly face to face.
They expect a knee jerk reaction, an instant response and when this inevitably doesn’t happen, they’re instantly critical- from their anonymous keyboards.
Well done, now looking forward to statements of support/solidarity with Canada as it continues to receive threats to its sovereignty from Russia… I mean the US President.
Well Done Kier Starmer!
Any Brit who supports Trump’s position on aligning with Putin and falling for his bilge has forgotten what Putin’s actions did to Dawn Sturgess.
This is the supportive message we all want to hear.
Statesman like - not like the horrendous message that came out of the White House.
With UK & European countries at last joining supportive forces, coupled with Norway`s action, Trump has got the bloody nose he deserves.

There's a brokers role that the UK can play between the US and Ukraine. It is in a unique position, as I beleive it is held in high regard by both sides. It's worth giving it a try.
UK doesn't get to do anything with or without the E U..
IF anything, UK can pick up the Billions of Dollars from America owed to all Europe for coking up Afghanistan.
Starmer can’t offer minerals and resources. That seems to be what Putin is offering. We know Trump asked for it from Ukraine, now Putin is telling him he can have it for supporting him. Starmer is empty handed.
Trump looks dodgy simply standing there and breathing. I’d like to see something real behind the words coming out of Starmer and I do think that he needs to be more aggressive with the States. Waiting for America/Trump to give the nod to end this is a fools errand.
I wish #BBCNews was on #Bluesky. If they don't wise up quick we'll be getting the news according to Trusk seeping over from our 'people behind enemy lines'. 🙄
Well done PM! Too bad US switched sides; no longer wants to lead world democracy.
Hopefully, UK and EU step up to fully replace US as center of democracy, by quickly - in next week - committing weapons and security guarantees to UKR.
And go one better than US - do FOR DEMOCRATIC VALUES ALONE!
That's how you do it show support in person first, treat the Hero with respect face to face. Adult discussion behind closed doors.Then announce your actual support i.e. 2 billion loan deal.Then make your social media announcement. Grown up politics.
And it would of course be churlish on my part to note how Starmer calibrates his support for people at the mercy of hugely powerful aggressors? It would be even more churlish to mention Gaza and Palestine?
Lordy - I'd be suggesting Starmer has double standards?
At last Starmer has come into his own as a leader. His term so far has been blighted by his insane election promise not to raise tax on the rich, a measure that it desperately needed. But now he shows he is capable strong moral leadership, something the UK has lacked for a very long time
Well done Keir, you have played a blinder today for Zelensky, well done to Charles, the King meeting Zelensky tomorrow as well.

I'm not one of your forelock tugging types so no, I won't be grateful that the UK's PM took over a day to issue that statement.
(Someone should tell him that Brexit was Putin's idea, too.)
Brexit is a crime-scene & has no moral validity.
What more do people want?

Doesn't Make Sense

Wouldn’t be a surprise if Starmer was getting roubles on the side.

Just a few days ago he cozied up to Trump when asked about Canadian sovereignty.
Only 20 maybe 30 million in US are MAGA, psychopaths who genuflect to megalomaniacal sociopath Oval Office Gangster
Other 5 Nov voters wanted cheaper eggs & gas. They will come around
