Starmer shit show continues now as Trump, Blair, Jordan and UAE scorn our utter incompetance
We are a global embarrassment and it's getting worse by the day thanks to Starmer, Hermer, Miliband, Reeves and Cooper. Trump says don't bother whilst France and Greece have to defend Cyprus.
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer - But we will remember.
We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!
President DONALD J. TRUMP
In a escalating diplomatic row, Trump has publicly dismissed Starmer’s belated offers of military support in the ongoing conflict with Iran, highlighting tensions in the historic UK-US alliance. This comes amid widespread criticism of Starmer’s initial hesitation for political reasons, compounded by the embarrassing reality that allies like France and Greece have stepped in to defend our base in Cyprus.
The US and Israeli strikes on Iran are aimed at neutralising perceived threats from the regime after their confirmation of having nuclear weapon grade materials, ballistic missiles and preaching of pure hate of the west including Israel, the US and the United Kingdom.
Starmer had initially refused US requests to use British bases, including RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia, citing legal concerns and lessons from past interventions like Iraq but we all know that the major factor was his political standing at home, Miliband, Reeves and Cooper saying no and of course his voter base.
Trump, in interviews with outlets such as The Sun and The Telegraph, expressed disappointment, stating it “took far too long” for Starmer to relent and then only allow limited US operations from UK territory. By last night Trump escalated the rhetoric on Truth Social, declaring, “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!” after Starmer indicated readiness to deploy aircraft carriers like HMS Queen Elizabeth. Its just too little too late.
Even Blair is embarrassed at Starmer’s weakness
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair added to the pressure at a private event, rebuking Starmer for not backing America from the very beginning and emphasising the US as an indispensable cornerstone of British security. Meanwhile, following drone strikes on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, attributed to Iran backed groups like Hezbollah, France dispatched anti-missile systems, anti-drone technology, and the frigate Languedoc. Greece sent two frigates and four F-16 jets. The UK’s response lagged, with HMS Dragon still stuck in port and not deploying for some time with further embarrassment that maintenance and preparations only available 9-5 due to trade union conditions, the very trade unions that Labour are funded by.
This prompted regional allies like Jordan and the UAE to voice fury over Britain’s perceived unreliability. It’s an utter embarrassment and states like Russia and China must be laughing themselves silly at our complete incompetence.
Challenges with Starmer’s handling are numerous and expose deeper issues in UK foreign policy under Labour.
His dithering alienated the US, risking the special relationship that has underpinned British security since World War II, with Trump now viewing the UK as a diminished partner.
The reliance on France and Greece to protect sovereign UK territory in Cyprus underscores military weaknesses, including delayed deployments and the redirection of assets like an Astute-class submarine to Australia instead of the Gulf.
Domestically, Starmer faces backlash for prioritising legalistic caution over decisive action, echoing criticisms from Labour veterans like Blair. As we have written before, there is a clear and present danger from Iran, admission to hatred of the UK and their local neighbours and they have weapons grade nuclear materials. The mission is not illegal and lets not forget, when a country massacres 40k of its citizens with heavy machine guns they don’t care about any laws.
Broader international perceptions, as seen in media from Reuters to GB News, paint Britain as irrelevant, with allies doubting its commitment amid global tensions.
Restore Britain’s credibility and fighting force
Starmer’s missteps have not only strained ties with a key ally but also highlighted the need for a robust, sovereign approach to defence and international relations. Restore Britain’s policies, under Rupert, offer a path forward by advocating for strengthened military capabilities, reduced dependence on EU partners like France, and prioritising alliances with like minded powers such as the US to restore national pride and security. No single European army outside our control, no giving up our sovereign defensive rights.
Implementing these, including bolstering naval presence and asserting independent decision making, could prevent future embarrassments and ensure Britain acts as a reliable global player rather than a hesitant bystander whose warships cant even get out of harbour in an emergecy.
