Sadly, the UK establishment is totally dependent on the UK-US relationship, & Starmer is too weak to change this. Europe needs to treat the UK as a Trump acolyte. Yes, the support for Ukraine from the UK has been strong, but Starmer will be pressured by the UK establishment into supporting Trump.

That avoided the immediate chaos which would have led to dissolution. By insisting on unity, the MSs also agreed to positions in advance. Divide and conquer became impossible for the UK, and the MSs supported one another - think Ireland - to the hilt.
It was brilliant.
