  1. I could never be a politician and say such obviously stupid things like this with a straight face.

  2. And if he doesn’t (and he doesn’t) what exactly are you going to do? Tut a bit? Shake your head?

    It’s like Tony Blair never left, although hopefully we won’t get dragged into it this time.

    So does the UK government accept Keir Starmer’s wife is a legitimate military target for our enemies?

    If not then why the double standard?

    Double speak!
    Double standards.

    I bet they didn’t ask Putin for legal justifications when he invaded Ukraine.

    This is why the West is increasingly headed to global irrelevancy.

    Equivocally not condemning Trump’s war against a sovereign nation plays into and make mockery of all the West condemnation of Putin.

    No country, no matter how powerful, should have the ability to foist its will on a sovereign nation! Putin’s aggression on Ukraine is being condemned on that singular basis!

    Sorry, does anyone genuinely think Trump gives a shit about the rule of law, or that he believes it applies to him?

    Darren jones is a complete joke. He looked promising 2 years ago. Incredible how quickly they switch up when they get into office.

    Venezuela has petrol/ gasoline.

    China was buying most of it.

    Maduro was anti-US, like his late mentor, Hugo Chavez.

    Venezuela is 2000 miles south of New Orleans.

    What makes you think Trump’s ever given a **** about legal justifications for anything he’s ever done?

  8. He’s not going to do it as he’s refused to provide any of the proof that the people he bombed before the kidnapping were even drug smugglers. On top of this MAGA central today is right now talking about how they want to attack Greenland next

    The US is a Nazi state and threat to our security and its time we start acting like it and the first step is to treat Pro – MAGA sorts in the UK not as idiots but as a genuine threat just as we treated Mosleys Blackshirts in WWII

    My dear friend Donald,

    This war thing simply isn’t cricket and if you don’t desist we shall be forced to tur louder and roll our eyes again

    Yours Keith

  10. He can publish it. ( or not ) then we can all get angry about it on Twitter or Reddit and that’s about it.

    Next…

  11. Does anyone actually believe Trump gives one droplet of shite about what Starmer says? We need them far, FAR more than they need us, thus, Starmer will keep his mouth shut

  12. The legal justification is that as a democracy the government of the USA is beholden to the US electorate by means of the US constitution and not rules other nations want it to be bound by no matter how much they whine.

  13. GBNews idiots are criticising Starmer’s response thus far.

    Let’s take a moment to consider Farage in this position. Interesting right?
