      Whilst he’s trying to jail former SF lads and allowing IRA Terrorists to claim millions in compensation.

      He’s disgusting.

      Vance has the look of a man with an incredibly thick skull. I doubt anything will penetrate that.

      The guys only 40, how does he forget that we had their backs after they bombed their own buildings for oil.

      Badenoch’s spokesperson:

      >She wants to deal with facts. And what she would say is that when there is a very heightened international diplomacy going on, a sort of Twitter pile-on, on the vice president of our closest ally, is not helping to bring about a peace in Ukraine, which is what we should all be focused on.

      She’d much rather defend a foreign Vice President than our troops’ history in Afghanistan and Iraq, as disgraceful as the latter one was.

      Afghanistan and Iraq are two failed wars of neo-imperialism.

      Instead of blindly praising the troops that were dragged along into these conflicts, we should be reflecting on our past military misadventures and learning from them. So that future troops won’t have to sacrifice themselves.

      Exactly.

      All those troops sacrificed and for what? Absolutely f– all, the politicians should answer for their crimes.

      Starmer can cynically ride this populist train for a while… but trying to straddle multiple horses will not end well for him.
