nonsense. Labour politicians never stood up for anything save for themselves. The only Labour leader who went to war was a lying duplicitous little shit. Never trust Labour in any war situation. The PM is and has been shown to be weak weak weak.
Attlee did all right. Finished off the Japanese in months. Took the Tory years with no victory.
Revisionist bullshit thinking. All the hard work was done. The Germans were defeated . The Japs were in full retreat. A couple of Nukes saw to the the end. Labour came to power but were thrown out and rightly so in 1951.

Kemi may have some problems though, only 8% of UK voters back and 15% of 2024 Tory voters support her demand the UK should send RAF jets to actively bomb Iran. Ironically her position is more favoured by Reform voters, 24% of whom back it, than voters of her own party.
Whereas Starmer's position that any active UK support for action against Iran should be purely defensive or retaliatory is the overwhelming position of both UK voters and voters of his Labour party
There seems to be an awful lot on PB with no interest in the legality of this war. But Prime Minister Kemi Badenoch would have been beaten to a pulp in every media interview, like forever, about whether this was legal war or not. Opposition would have demanded enquiry into the legal advice. Media would be pressing on what the objective is. If you think Labour are getting a hard time from the media, they’ve certainly dodged “clubbed to death over legality of it.”
It’s already going to create a credit crisis, inflation up, interest rates up, growth down, borrowing up at much higher rates - but the UK government DIDN’T chose to inflict all that on the British people. imagine if they had. As what clearly was improving UK economy goes into reverse throughout this year, based on Kemi Badenoch’s decision to follow Trump and Bibi into this war. PM Kemi and her government would be getting scythed into bits by owning and blamed for every inflation rise, every energy and petrol rise, interest rate rise, rising bills etc.
She’s called it spectacularly wrong. Voters and journalists aren’t that stupid not to have noticed.

It was men like Iain MacLeod, Reginald Maudling and Rab Butler in the Conservative Research Department in the Attlee years who convinced the Party they shouldn't rip up the Beveridge reforms or reverse the nationalisation of the Bank of England, the railways and the coal and steel industries.
The Conservatives broke from the pre-war Chamberlin policies and embraced the post-war settlement simply offering to run it better and that's what happened after they won in October 1951.
It is happening, Spurs getting relegated the season Arsenal win the title.
That would make me sad, firstly Arsenal choking again would be hilarious and secondly I have a soft spot for Spurs from what must have been the 94/95 season with Klinsman and Petruscu etc. even as a Liverpool fan watching Klinsman come to England and give a sense of glamour when I was first exposed to watching football in pubs was great fun.
Looks as though China has cornered the world market in tungsten, too. An essential material for, amongst other things, and awfully large proportion of arms production.
They have banned its export fot dual use purposes.
Just as everyone is trying to surge arms production.
There's lots of potential tungsten production in the Iberian Peninsula. There's a huge deposit that straddles the Portugal-Spain border, which was priced out of the market by Chinese production, but which could probably be brought up to speed relatively quickly.

This place is the definition of the gilded cage. My work for the day done, if I were somewhere in a proper city I could head out for a walk to a museum or gallery, take in the atmosphere, perhaps do some local cafes or bars. If this were the countryside I could head out on a longer walk to a beauty spot, or if the seaside a stroll along the beach. But Orlando is extreme suburban inland America. Can’t go anywhere without a car, anything of interest (ie not a theme park) is an hour and a half or more and a £50 one way uber away. All that remains is reading a book and drinking.

The American subtopia
It really does exist, and you're in it. I know the feeling well
The best places in America are either extremely urban or extremely non-urban (or maybe right on the coast, but that doesn't guarantee excitement). Anywhere else can be truly shite, even if it's wealthy (or not)

Hopefully it won't be the Hammers along with them!
West Ham has done an incredible job coming back from the dead. Two months ago, I thought it was all over for them.
The Hammers and Forest have both found a bit of fight, while Spurs just look beaten from the start. There'll be some interesting fixtures next season such as Spurs v Lincoln.
@saladinaldronni.bsky.social A US aircraft seems to have crashed in Basra, Iraq. The search for the pilot is ongoing. Much more dangerous than when the downing of F-15s occured in Kuwait. This is no Kuwait, population is in many parts hostile to Americans. #Iraq

I recall when they were last in the second tier (77-78?) They came up and then signed and Ardiles and Villa.
In the key specific issue significant majority support Starmer's defensive approach.
The other 2 questions unfairly represent he PM. The question needs to be too firm Trump, too soft with Trump and about right.
The question leads anyone thinking too soft or too hard to say badly.
Everything changes in a heart beat if a British Aircraft is taken down by an Iranian missile
Absolutely knock it off Big_G, a major conflict occurs and you're still always just childishly finding the angle ON STARMER.
You're being every bit as utterly graceless as Badenoch.
I imagine you are going to tell me it's just politics, like after Southport when your boys on here were retweeting the lies of real life fascists and you were just going "boys will be boys", like you were some fag wielding roughun in the town park watching admiringly as the grandkid's American Bully rips squirrels to pieces in front of everone as you observe "they are just having a bit of fun!"
I bet even MexicanPete can't parody your one-eyedness any more.
It may upset you, but Starmer is in a bind of his own making and if we lose an aircraft to an Iranian missile what would you do ?
There are lots of difficult questions but I am not going to be silenced by asking awkward questions
And this is not politics but a very serious war and your last paragraph is unworthy of you
Surely, the more you go all in on bombing missions as you and Kemi want, the more likely of losing our people?
At present the issue doesn't arise, but it will if we lose aircraft or troops or civilians
Will it? 🤔
The fundamentals keeping us out stay exactly the same. Firstly it is definitely a war of choice.
Bibi is doing it as electioneering to stay out of life time jail sentence - Trump has been showered by Saudi gifts for some reason, also as 70% of Iranian oil goes to China at mate rates, someone suggested to him, if you pick the next Iran leader yourself, that oil is not China’s, its all yours. 🛢️
What would be our reason for joining in? What would UK gain?
There’s no mission statement, other than a daily spin the wheel game full of mission statements.
It’s being conducted by politicians who believe every law of engagement that ever existed is just woke nonsense. They’ve already displayed a thirst for blood that would have the Pirates of the Caribbean putting an arm around the shoulder saying, a word of advice me hearty.
There’s no exit plan, so now the terrifying spectre for every person in every country in the world, this turns into a civil/ethnic war in Iran, and the country falls into a failed state.
All these sound reasons why UK are not involved in this one, just don’t believe in this one, will never change at all - even if we sadly lose jets, military or civilian people in quantities and numbers. The facts I have explained here - I didn’t even need to explain, as these fundamentals keeping us out, stay exactly the same throughout from now, and are being proven to us every minute of everyday in the constant news coverage!
And this is just the early bit, where’s it’s interesting and at its most popular.

Surely that’s cheating buying one of your competitor clubs?
I'M sure that this has been mentioned many times on here but the decision NOT to join Trumps illegal invasion was made by Milliband Reeves and Cooper. Led by Milliband. I would say this makes Milliband strong favourite to be next PM

"Quickly" would be years rather than months though ?
There's no global shortage of any essential raw material deposit (excepting possibly helium - something else threatened by the war in Iran), but mining and processing takes a lot of time and money to start up.

Well Nicola Sturgeon was married to the Chief Executive of the SNP and didn't know.
My nephew is a Spurs fan. His Dad (my brother), his twin brother, his older brother, his sister - all massive Arsenal fans.
I feel like I ought to do something for the [teenage] lad if the Arsenal title/Spurs relegation double happens. My brother doesn't exactly pass up an opportunity for gloating.
Just had a slightly discomfiting experience watching Greetings from Scotland on BBC Scotland about tourism up here. They were showing holiday footage from a Belgian family who visited in the 1970s. There unmistakably was my dad in his prime wearing highland dress, strolling down the Royal Mile between pubs no doubt, fag in hand. Not a strange experience for anyone with a mildly famous parent I suppose, but spooky for me to see a ghost of someone who died 28 years ago.

I don't think he's Reform, either. So you're probably right.
JUST OUT: Trump’s strategy from Venezuela to Iran, a State Department official me and @VeraMBergen, can be called “Decapitate and Delegate.”
Trump’s approach reflects both his desire to avoid “forever wars” and nation building.
If DC’s anointed new leaders fall short for admin, Trump will just hit the reset button.
It’s “a new model: We’re going to give you a shot. You decide what you want to do,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham. “If they elect a new crowd that wants to kill Americans, we’ll kill them.”

Thats a nice unexpected memory! I've missed the first 15 mins of it ... BBC have done well here, speaking to real people who remember how it was back in the 1960s and 70s, pre skiing and tartan shops

Had a similar experience three years ago. My father died suddenly in the New Year. Fast forward to the Challenge Cup final a few months later and they show highlights from the 1998 final (Sheffield v Wigan for those of you with discerning tastes). My brother made a comment about somebody in the crowd that “looked like Dad”. Played it back on iPlayer. It was Dad, with me stood next to him. We never knew we’d been caught on camera and to see it only a few months after he died was… bittersweet.

Nonetheless, that is a hilarious AI inflection. Tho it's worth noting that, as a writer, he seems to have mastered multiple genres - bestselling memoir, bestselling Dan Brown-esque pulp fiction, bestselling literary thriller, high profile political commentary, and award-winning travel writing
Is there another writer with that many rosettes in different arenas? Not sure. So maybe "great" is justified, out of sheer versatility
I am, anyway, content with my success in the more refined world of artisanal bespoke lithic sex toys
If you think Labour are getting a hard time from the media, they’ve certainly dodged “clubbed to death over legality of it.”
It’s already going to create a credit crisis, inflation up, interest rates up, growth down, borrowing up at much higher rates - but the UK government DIDN’T chose to inflict all that on the British people. imagine if they had. As what clearly was improving UK economy goes into reverse throughout this year, based on Kemi Badenoch’s decision to follow Trump and Bibi into this war. PM Kemi and her government would be getting scythed into bits by owning and blamed for every inflation rise, every energy and petrol rise, interest rate rise, rising bills etc.
She’s called it spectacularly wrong. Voters and journalists aren’t that stupid not to have noticed.
What a complete bunch of...
The Conservatives broke from the pre-war Chamberlin policies and embraced the post-war settlement simply offering to run it better and that's what happened after they won in October 1951.
Firing Kristi Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullins is like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt.

This place is the definition of the gilded cage. My work for the day done, if I were somewhere in a proper city I could head out for a walk to a museum or gallery, take in the atmosphere, perhaps do some local cafes or bars. If this were the countryside I could head out on a longer walk to a beauty spot, or if the seaside a stroll along the beach. But Orlando is extreme suburban inland America. Can’t go anywhere without a car, anything of interest (ie not a theme park) is an hour and a half or more and a £50 one way uber away. All that remains is reading a book and drinking.

It really does exist, and you're in it. I know the feeling well
The best places in America are either extremely urban or extremely non-urban (or maybe right on the coast, but that doesn't guarantee excitement). Anywhere else can be truly shite, even if it's wealthy (or not)
Or could I sell them to SKS to help the defensive war effort!
My loathing for this US administration is off the scale .
A US aircraft seems to have crashed in Basra, Iraq. The search for the pilot is ongoing.
Much more dangerous than when the downing of F-15s occured in Kuwait. This is no Kuwait, population is in many parts hostile to Americans. #Iraq

Now i'm googling for bows.
The fundamentals keeping us out stay exactly the same. Firstly it is definitely a war of choice.
Bibi is doing it as electioneering to stay out of life time jail sentence - Trump has been showered by Saudi gifts for some reason, also as 70% of Iranian oil goes to China at mate rates, someone suggested to him, if you pick the next Iran leader yourself, that oil is not China’s, its all yours. 🛢️
What would be our reason for joining in? What would UK gain?
There’s no mission statement, other than a daily spin the wheel game full of mission statements.
It’s being conducted by politicians who believe every law of engagement that ever existed is just woke nonsense. They’ve already displayed a thirst for blood that would have the Pirates of the Caribbean putting an arm around the shoulder saying, a word of advice me hearty.
There’s no exit plan, so now the terrifying spectre for every person in every country in the world, this turns into a civil/ethnic war in Iran, and the country falls into a failed state.
All these sound reasons why UK are not involved in this one, just don’t believe in this one, will never change at all - even if we sadly lose jets, military or civilian people in quantities and numbers. The facts I have explained here - I didn’t even need to explain, as these fundamentals keeping us out, stay exactly the same throughout from now, and are being proven to us every minute of everyday in the constant news coverage!
And this is just the early bit, where’s it’s interesting and at its most popular.

There's no global shortage of any essential raw material deposit (excepting possibly helium - something else threatened by the war in Iran), but mining and processing takes a lot of time and money to start up.
Just imagine how smug you'd be feeling if you tipped Ed Miliband to succeed Starmer at 100/1.
I feel like I ought to do something for the [teenage] lad if the Arsenal title/Spurs relegation double happens. My brother doesn't exactly pass up an opportunity for gloating.

Jeez.
So you're probably right.
Can we take them particularly seriously ?
JUST OUT: Trump’s strategy from Venezuela to Iran, a State Department official me and @VeraMBergen, can be called “Decapitate and Delegate.”
Trump’s approach reflects both his desire to avoid “forever wars” and nation building.
If DC’s anointed new leaders fall short for admin, Trump will just hit the reset button.
It’s “a new model: We’re going to give you a shot. You decide what you want to do,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham. “If they elect a new crowd that wants to kill Americans, we’ll kill them.”
