Keir Starmer has issued an unprecedented rebuke to Donald Trump for his “insulting and frankly appalling” remarks about British troops in Afghanistanand suggested he should apologise.
After a week of fractious relations with the White House, Starmer said he was not surprised that relatives of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan were hurt by Trump claiming they avoided the frontline.
Starmer’s critical intervention marks an escalation of tensions with Trump’s administration after the president had earlier in the week criticised the UK for giving up the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. On Friday night, the government was forced to delay its bill on the Chagos Islands in the House of Lords.

You’d sooner get blood from a stone than an apology from Fuckface
Maybe he will learn to be good and his heart will grow three sizes at once.
Nothing about the Afghans they killed. Fuck them.
Starmer’s “playing the wrong game”, then.
He’s delusionally presuming that normal is going to be reasserting control of our world.
Instead, the tippingpoint’s getting crossed, soon, & then he’ll be dancing & jigging to Trump’s dictates, like everybody else…
If he chooses opposing Trump, … that’ll be war.
He’s already committed to annexing Canada, using Greenland as a base to snuff Canada’s EU lifeline,
to Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover,
to imperial-expansion war on Central & South America,
to take Mexico, Panama, Venezuela ( which he’s already declared himself president of ), Cuba, Colombia, etc…
This current rule-of-law Equilibrium we’ve been inhabiting, GONE, shortly, permanently.
Americas-war’s coming, & nothing can prevent that.
Once the Americas are seething, then what’s Putin going to do?
Europe, that’s what.
China backs Putin, so long as it supplants Russia within Russia, & Putin doesn’t care about that, does he?
EU’s hosed.
Britain’s more hosed.
Brexit & monarchism: preparing the country for NOT being viable when things go to hell.
shrug
Humankind’s getting exactly the karma it needs, in order to make humankind’s unconscious grow-up.
Whether there are going to be any survivors of the education, however, is … going to be a “debate”.
Starmer, go tour Ukraine, see what war really means.
Then understand that the whole world’s going to be looking like that, soon.
