BREAKING NEWS: Starmer Announces UK Will Allow US To Use British Bases In Efforts Against Iran

This is a surprise Uturn amid ME tensions, Starmer has just gave approval I think for the US to launch defensive strikes on Iranian missile sites using British bases . So much for Labour's promises of an independent foreign policy, looks like the UK's leader is back to tagging along with Trump when the heat rises.

The story is based on a Forbes News report

Hey UK leftists moaning about appeasement or negotiating a settlement ,you're welcome, seriously.

So yeah, the US (under Trump) is stepping up to neutralize the threat that's directly threatening Brits too. Independent foreign policy? Maybe this time it means actually defending our people instead of virtue signaling from the sidelines.

google ai overview:
