...with the appeasement and complicity of - well - just Sir Keir Starmer!
In light of the grovelling to Trump (the royal invitation obsequiously proffered from an inner pocket near his heart at the White House) and the disastrous and nightmarish following of the US, yet again, into Middle East catastrophe in Gaza etc - it should be no surprise that while the rest of the world watched in absolute horror, Trump's illegal invasion of another oil-rich country, Starmer should be hot out of the blocks fawning, eager to please and acquiescing to the behaviour.
Trump has gone full Putin. No surprise to anyone but Starmer. The rest of the world, including some who would love to perpetrate similar actions (Russia and China) have clearly condemned this heinous action.
As Emily Thornberry (snr Labour MP) pointed out, you can condemn Maduro's regime and still see that this action is abhorrent.
Apart from clearly wanting to emulate ex-PM Blair - deeply embedded in the Starmer government via the TBI (Tony Blair Institute) - it is a huge embarrassment to at least three of the four nations of the so-called United Kingdom - Scotland - that condemned the Israel/US/UK abominations in Gaza and called for an early cease fire, ditto Ireland and Wales. Albeit Wales did so without the support of Starmer's Labour Party in Wales.
No one but Starmer believes Trump’s drug trafficking excuse for grabbing Maduro (Trump just pardoned ex-president of Honduras and infamous drug trafficker Juan Hernandez) and Trump himself openly stated he wants Venezuelan oil.
This latest lack of backbone and failure to be on the right side of history from the UK Prime Minister should be a huge embarrassment and enormously saddening to anyone left with a moral compass.
