Why Team Trump may soon steal Starmer’s spark

Wooing president Donald Trump is an exercise riddled with risks, even in the best of times. Britain’s prime minister Sir Keir Starmer knows this. Yet his latest attempt to charm Mr Trump is a triumph of hope over hopelessness. More so because even as he tries harder to charm Mr Trump, Team Trump, particularly its Eurosceptics element, may try harder to hobble the Starmer initiative. This is…

" English Fascism, when it arrives, is likely to be of a sedate and subtle kind (presumably, at any rate at first, it won’t be called Fascism). It is quite easy to imagine a middle-class crushed down to the worst depths of poverty and still remaining bitterly anti-working class in sentiment; this being, of course, a ready-made Fascist Party. There is no chance of saving England from Fascism unless we can bring an effective Socialist party into existence. It will have to be a party with genuinely revolutionary intentions, and it will have to be numerically strong enough to act. If we do not get it, then Fascism is coming; probably a slimy Anglicised form of Fascism, with cultured policemen instead of Nazi gorillas and the lion and the unicorn instead of the swastika." — George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier (1937)

It’s now very clear, British personnel in Ukraine are now carrying out strikes on Russian territory using Storm Shadow missiles.

That’s…something I never expected to read this morning. Donald Trump actually praising our Prime Minister. A far cry from Elons thoughts on him. Whenever I see things like this I can’t help but think ‘what’s his angle’ though.

Five days after Britain’s Labour party won an overwhelming parliamentary majority in the general election, we can see the outline of what this is likely to mean for British Jews and their country’s relationship with Israel. That outline is not reassuring.

The new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is said to have purged his party of antisemitism and has persuaded many British Jews that he has made Labour safe again for Jewish voters. On Sunday morning, he told the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas — antisemite, Holocaust denier and fan of Hitler’s wartime ally in the Middle East — that an independent state was the “undeniable right” of the Palestinian people and that “financial support for the Palestinian Authority” was one of his “immediate priorities”. 

He did not tell Abbas that a condition of this financial support was that the PA must stop paying financial rewards to terrorists and their families for murdering Israelis. Nor did he say that a condition of receiving more British taxpayers’ money was that the PA must end its indoctrination of Palestinian Arab children in Nazi-themed demonisation of the Jews, teaching them that their greatest ambition should be to murder Jews and steal all their land. 

Instead, Starmer proceeded to lecture Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin  Netanyahu, that there was a “clear and urgent” need for a ceasefire in Gaza as well as an immediate increase in the volume of humanitarian aid reaching civilians. As for the war being waged by Hezbollah in Lebanon against northern Israel, Starmer warned Netanyahu:

It was crucial all parties acted with caution.

What kind of “caution” does Starmer suggest is appropriate in the face of a threat of genocide by Hezbollah and its patron, Iran? Or to put it another way, with Hezbollah primed to unleash its armoury of 150,000 rockets and other missiles that can reach all of Israel, and with Iran itself along with Iraqi, Syrian and Houthi militias not to mention the terrorist armies of the “West Bank” all primed to attack Israel if it launches all-out war against Hezbollah, does Starmer really believe that Israel actually needs to be told to act “with caution”? 

Can he really not grasp that, given the daily onslaught over the past nine months from dozens of rockets, drones and guided missiles that have destroyed Israeli border towns, left swathes of northern Israel burning, made more than 60,000 Israelis refugees in their own country and kept other residents in the north trapped in their safe rooms (two Israelis were killed today by a Hezbollah rocket strike that hit their car) that if the Israelis abandon that “caution” it’s because they have no other choice?   

Starmer shows absolutely zero understanding that this crisis isn’t about Hamas, Hezbollah or the Palestinian Arabs. They are proxies and pawns in an Iranian war of extermination against Israel, the essential precursor to the destruction and conquest of America, Britain and the west. 

So little does he understand this that the new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, is now poring over the government’s legal advice on whether to stop UK arms sales to Israel.

Once upon a time, Lammy was sympathetic to Israel. Now he is a foe. He has repeated what he said before the election, that Labour supports the request by the International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim Khan, for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant — and that if these Israelis came to the UK after such warrants were issued, Britain would arrest them.

This despite the fact that the claims upon which Khan relied were lies, distortions and blood libels drawn from Hamas-sympathising and Israel-bashing organisations, and were all demonstrably untrue.

When the UK has to choose between a hard right government that puts party before country, that demonizes nurses and refuses to negotiate with striking doctors and is led by a transphobe, and a guy whose favourite hobby is U-turning on literally everything, and the third parties get screwed over by first past the post, a voting system that the two main parties have no incentive to change

The King received in audience the right honourable Sir Keir Starmer MP today and requested him to form a new administration. Sir Keir accepted his majesty’s offer and kissed hands upon his appointment as prime minister and First Lord of the Treasury. 5 Jul 24.

[yonderghostshistories]

not @assortedantics on the Monty Python Discord Server a while ago saying that (iirc that is) British actor Darren Boyd is like if he were a sexier version of Current British Prime Minister Sir Kid Starver Keir Starmer cuz they have similar cheekbones lmao

Ngl….at least Darren Boyd is more attractive than Kid Starver cuz Kid Starver is like a wet piece of ham that kinda tastes “eehhh” compared to Darren “5 Star ⭐ Banquet” Boyd lol

[angelholme]

To me, this suggests that if Farage stands for office, Starmer is going to nuke him.

Which, you know, maybe considered overkill by some people.

[itsallpoliticsstupid]

The British Government are giving me whiplash right now.

A couple of days ago we had the news that they would be cutting budgets and jobs in the MOD.

Now they’re talking about raising defence spending by 2.5%.

Are Putins threats of wiping us all out making them change their mind? Which makes zero sense as he’s been doing that since the blood start of the war!

Keir, where have you been since Russia invaded Ukraine?
