Canada committed $5Billion, equipment, and peacekeepers to Ukraine.
UK promised 3.3 Billion
Canada is in a trade war with Trump who wants to annex it. We need our military at home but realize the more immediate danger is a bad deal for Ukraine
The $ CDA gave us seized RUS assets - we don’t fear
I usually like William Keegan’s commentary on the self harm of Brexit, but this is errant nonsense. Has William been having a long nap for the past few days?
Oh give it a rest. He's doing what needs to be done for the UK, not for snivelling journos who find something to criticise him for whatever he does. Enough.
Well done Starmer.
Also, he hasn't abandoned Europe as the title suggests. Starmer could tell Trump to "do one", and the Guardian would still accuse him of bootlicking. Instead of Tweeting, Starmer is getting on with practical action. Another childish take from the Guardian this week.
Its funny isnt it, if he had gone in guns a blazin and pissed of $trump the press would have crucified him, now you get folks claiming he's sucking up.
I guess this is which way your media outlet leans.
Neville Starmer needs to wake the fuck up. Either all of Europe joins together to put boots on the ground in Ukraine, threaten in kind with nuclear strikes, and crush Russia now, they will be ruled as subjects in short order. It’s now or never. Do or die. There will be no peace.
Maybe you watched a different press conference than I did, but I didn't see Starmer renouncing aid and Europe. I saw him employing flattery, which the only thing that works on Trump. I thought he did a really good job.
I think he’s getting more kudos from our neighbours than we’ve had for years. He reassured Ukraine and is trying to orchestrate a deal with the orange man-child, I think he’s doing great so far
Yes you're on the side of a wrong un Mr Starmer whatever your motives are. That is at least how you will be seen. You are dragging the reputation of the Labour party through the mud with your incomprehensible slashing of foreign aid. @uklabour.bsky.social
Yeah, he seems to suck. Labor, tories, and reform all suck right now. The UK needs a YIMBY, return to the euro area, fight for democracy party. As a yank I don't know enough to say if the lib dems can be that.
And your much better and more affordable solutions to tackle these multiple crises are? Aid has been cut, not 'renounced' and I'm sure it's a great surprise to the European heads currently meeting with Starmer to hear they've been 'renounced'. What a snide, deliberately inflammatory little piece.
Boring and lazy piece that shows a playground mentality rather than reflect serious diplomacy needed in our best and Europes best interests. Grow up and stop shit stirring.
Given that the US is one of the signatories to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, I imagine Starmer's keeping them in the loop and reminding them of their responsibilities.

Honesty, get a grip…
PS: Any chance of an edit button on Bluesky…?!
What a stupidly short sighted piece - worthy of the Hate Mail
