Where's his public statement like almost 30 other European and western leaders now? Costs nothing if that's what he thinks. It's time to stop appeasing a Russian asset.

As a policeman, I remember a well-known barrister who would shout and holler in court. His clients loved it, and would happily take their 25 years, having had their day in court. I knew another who would calmly and quietly dismantle the prosecution and secure an acquittal. Which would you prefer?

His statement is in essence the same as everyone else's. Grandstanding is an appealing approach for fools, but counterproductive. How about giving Starmer some credit for doing what is necessary, rather than what makes headlines?

Er, that is a public statement.

He thinks the Irish PM ties his own tweets

That path is looking like hot coals and broken glass, and he needs do some voodoo shit on Trump. Hand the man some pins.

characterbomb.bsky.social•16 hours ago

or perhaps a grenade with no pins

But no support for #Zelensky - shameful.

Starmer is still stupid enough to think he can iron this out, FFS the US is now a rouge state and they are not our friends. Labour need to replace him with an actual leader.

Rubbish

kcarragher.bsky.social•16 hours ago

A rouge state? More fake tan I’d have thought.

zmus.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Okay, that's pretty good.

Sounds like a scene from Godfather 3. What next a calling of the family heads to a planned hit?

jaysfannb.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He’s a coward.
We all saw it yesterday!

graygraydk.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Pathetic

zmus.bsky.social•16 hours ago

LOL. He thinks there is a middle route. Starmer appears to not have accepted what is happening in Washington.

characterbomb.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Yeah, the King needs to tell Trump that the visit offer is officially, publically retracted.

selfie61.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Nothing stopping him putting it out on social media like everyone else then is there? There was no need to speak to Trump either unless just to cowtail again

sjkenyon.bsky.social•15 hours ago

And yet a host of know-it-alls on here are spouting crap about him. He's been on the phone to Trump, to Zelensky and apparently to Erdogan. It's called diplomacy but idiots would rather see social media posts. I'd rather he was doing everything he can to try and mitigate this shit show.

Tell him to get off the fucking fence!

Starmer needs to pick a God damned side already and it needs to be the one in OUR Europe back yard, not the neo Nazis across the Atlantic.

I bet Starmer is now sorry he handed this dickhead of a POTUS that invitation for a royal visit. I hope Londoners will give him a right royal welcome in the form of a rousing soldier’s farewell.

sherman88.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Bwahaha! Standing in the middle of the road means you get run down by both sides ya cowardly prick ya!

billbj6.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Fence sitting.
Labour's fence sitting gave us BREXIT, with red lines to follow.
Where will this continued vague values strategy take us?

Starmer needs to up his game. Don't envy his choices though.

agaland2dogs.bsky.social•4 hours ago

He's hosting Euro leaders yesterday as well as Zelenskyy. Give the guy a break.

suewilkesauthor.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Ok fair enough. It was the long wait for his response which upset me yesterday.

agaland2dogs.bsky.social•4 hours ago

And me. But he's in a particularly sticky position. I'm not a fan, as I've said before, but the 6-dimensional geometry of the UK's situation demands that his responses are carefully considered. Let's see what comes out of tomorrow's meeting.
