PM appears to draw comparison between Russian and US leaders’ actions and calls for plan to restore Hormuz strait shipping
Keir Starmer has said he is “fed up” with the effect that Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East are having on the British public, while appearing to draw a comparison between the US president and Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to ITV’s Robert Peston on Thursday, the prime minister said: “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses’ bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”
Starmer, who has been heavily criticised, and at times mocked, by Trump for not committing British forces to the war on Iran, also appeared to condemn Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s continued strikes on Lebanon, despite Iran calling for Lebanon to be included in the ceasefire that was agreed on 7 April.
You hadn’t heard leads you to conclude that it’s not correct and progress to asinine comments on my post? You believe yourself to be some sort of omnipotent being?
The information is at least two or three days old (find those yourself). Indeed Starmer noted it on a report just today. See link below. Whilst watching Starmer speaking, do try to remember that he’s trying to make it sound reasoanble.

Your link says nothing of the kind. But instead it says this:
So exactly as I commented, European countries are seeking a diplomatic solution, you grossly misrepresented what happened to a degree it was unrecognizable to the reality behind your claim.
You can call it asinine if you want, but you just proved that I was 100% right. And you made a false claim.
So you still didn’t check for yourself? Try this suggestion, search, check, verify. If you conclude I’m mistaken, you provide the info you rely upon to set aside my comments. Your ignorance is too much.
That’s insane, I just quoted from the article you linked to, and it does not contain anything to support your claim.
I wouldn’t bother arguing with them, they’re on .ml, so it’s a high likelyhood they are extremely anti-west and will assume the worst no matter what the source says.
I must admit I’m considering blocking those tankies, they are just too far removed from reality to have a sensible debate with.
Not that unresonable to do, just to have some peace and quiet. I won’t though, just because I find it entertaining to read what they come up with c:
Do you use these amazing deductive powers in real life?
I suggested searching for yourself as that removes your view of my bias. That must either be more effort than repeated nitpicking, or you’re a lazy thinker. I’m going with the latter given your more recent comments. Tankie? If in doubt, rather than elucidate for yourself and take away doubt why not call names.
