He was particularly critical that the UK would not allow him to use Diego Garcia because of doubts as to legality of what the USA is doing.
Btw, he crapped even harder on Spain, instructing his Trade Secretary to stop all trade with Spain.
Back to Starmer - because our sovereign territory (Akrotiri Base) was directly attacked by Iran when we had not been involved in the initial attack on Iran, we now have the right under International Law to defend ourselves including by offensive means to take out the enemy's capabilities. The man is a cretin.
He has trashed the special relationship, he nevertheless is now putting UK military assets into play.
Jeez.

It's not often I defend Starmer but he called this one right. Unlike the Conservatives and Reform, Starmer actually stood up for British sovereignty and not curtseying and taking orders from an untrustworthy overseas power. I can understand Farage's concerns with his tax exile funders wanting a bit of support now that Dubai et al have been attacked.

Because Seph thinks we have to be a supplicant state to the US so Trumpy doesn't call us nasty names.
