Nothing to contribute so she just resorted to typical attempts at point scoring which Starmer brushed aside with relative ease imo.
To me Starmer sounded statesmanlike and sensible. Neither is he the only one to have misgivings. Pedro Sanchez, the Spanish PM, is at greater odds with Trump over the legality of the U.S./Israeli actions leading to the POTUS chucking his toys out of the pram again and threatening to cease all trade with Spain.
Brilliant! Don’t know about Starmer being ‘no Winston Churchill’ - not something that’ll worry him greatly I imagine - but both Badenoch and Trump appear to have little awareness of the need for action to be legal and allies to be united.

P.S. May just be me, but I can’t get your link to work, Sith.
Bad enoch, was just dreadful, I mean, its customary to support the PM at times like this, but no apparently, rushing headlong into supporting Trump would be the right thing to do!

Its not even as if its the first time the UK has refused to automatically support the US, we kept out of Vietnam. People forget this "special relationship£ does depend upon who is in office in the US. One is never a friend of Trump, everything he does is transactional, if it suits him your his "friend" if it doesn't your not! Next week Trump will be saying Starmer is his "bigley" mate.
