Donald Trump, never one to think before committing something to Truth Social or opening his mouth has complained that Keir Starmer has not been as enthusiastic about his adventure in Iran as the President wants
Opinion polls can of course be inaccurate but when one finds that only 28% back Trump even allowing for a wide margin of error, its clear that there is not popular support in the UK.
The past weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living so perhaps Starmer, who opposed the Iraq War in 2003, had a thought that he did not in twenty years time want to be remembered as the person who backed a US President’s warmongering in 2026, as Blair certainly is.
Of course Starmer is backing Trump with US planes using British bases just as Harold Wilson backed Lyndon Johnson on Vietnam in the 1960s. Its not the backing that is the issue its the failure as the White House sees it to be gung ho about it.
