@Alexarmstrong Starmer should hand stayed away

BREAKING: Iran has already shut the Strait of Hormuz. This breaches the US ceasefire agreement which has been active for less than 24 hours. You can’t trust terrorist regimes.

@LBC Does he take lessons from Katie Price and doesn’t care about the highway laws.

@GBPolitcs Starmer should have stayed away until it was officially agreed. Instead jumping onto the bandwagon.

🚨NEW: Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz

@Iromg Starmer has only caused issues.

Just fuck off…

@ArchRose90 @louhawkins62 @Keir_Starmer Hurry to the plane - jumping onto the bandwagon thinking he’s the hero. He’s only caused issues.

Keir Starmer: “We just reached a ceasefire”. We? WE!?? No, they reached a ceasefire. You had nothing to do with it @Keir_Starmer

@xlj_xxx I sometimes have issues with mine.

First time I’ve had to use the air con in my car since I got it and I can’t work the bastard

@DSkippings @PeterStefanovi2 We’ve not heard from him since last PMQs before recess. Then he decides to jump on a plane when an Iran stops firing missiles.

@PeterStefanovi2 Let's put it to the vote, the local elections are in under a month, wonder how Labour will do?

Prime Minister Keir Starmer declines to say whether his relationship with Trump is in 'tatters' but insists: 'I act in the British national interest and nothing, nothing, is going to deflect me from that'

@PeterStefanovi2 Doesn’t always act in the national interest for domestic issues back home only on the world stage.

@genesian61 @LikeATattoooooo It wouldn’t look good presenting a show when he’s been sacked for allegations of grooming.

@LikeATattoooooo Mills hasn't been convicted of anything. C4 should show the programme & the BBC should re-instate him.

People talk a lot about mental health awareness but it’s all bs isn’t it, no one actually cares. Channel 4 have no reason to do this, other than being an active participant in cancel culture.

@LikeATattoooooo @TackJompson I’m sure his world has crumbled around him and quite certainly be very depressed.

@TackJompson Completely agree.

@GBNEWS The Middle East is such a mess and you can blame only two people for this President Bush and Tony Blair.

'This is welcome and there is a sense of real relief.' Prime Minister Keir Starmer says 'there is work to do' to ensure the ceasefire with Iran is permanent and not temporary. Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend

@MrJoeGooch @Peston Starmer jumping onto the world stage like he was the one who negotiated the ceasefire. Sadly he doesn’t want help domestic issues back home.

@Peston Unfortunately, Starmer stayed silent in the face of Trump preparing to commit nuclear genocide. Shameful.

Hours after President Trump announced a two-week cessation of hostilities against Iran, I travelled to the Gulf with the prime minister and his team, in the official government plane. We have just landed in Saudi Arabia. For diplomatic and security reasons, I have been asked not to disclose our itinerary or Starmer’s schedule of meetings with government heads. But it does not take enormous intellectual effort to deduce that the first set of talks will be with arguably the most powerful of the Gulf leaders, Saudi’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The most pressing question in all Starmer’s meetings, including with MBS, is whether the ceasefire between Iran and America and Israel can endure long enough for there to be meaningful talks on a sustainable peace - which are scheduled to start on Friday in Pakistan. According to British sources - and frankly this won’t surprise you - the ceasefire is real, holding so far and very unstable. One source of anxiety is Israel’s somewhat ambivalent commitment to it - and notably that Netanyahu is explicit the hiatus does not restrict the Israel Defence Forces’ aggression in Lebanon. Another is that the devolved structure of Iran’s military, the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the absence of a centralised power structure in Iran brings the risk of continued sporadic and unlicensed attacks by Iranian militia on Gulf countries - and also means that very few shippers of oil, gas and other vital commodities will yet take the risk of moving their tankers and ships through the precarious Strait of Hormuz. As one intelligence source put it to me, Israel’s assassination of so many Iranian leaders makes it incredibly difficult to know who is in charge in the country, if anyone. On the more positive side though, there may be a little more underlying common ground between Tehran and Washington than their public positions on their “non negotiable” aims for any peace settlement would suggest - though I don’t have a clue how their respective positions on Iran’s nuclear ambitions or Iran’s determination to be turnpike keeper of the Hormuz Strait can be bridged. Because the Hormuz Strait is the supply route for a fifth of the world’s carbon energy, and therefore a kind of oesophagus for the global economy, much of Starmer’s focus in talks with Gulf leaders will be a continuation of British diplomatic activity with 40-odd other nations in recent days, namely whether there is any practical way to make the Strait safe for commercial traffic. But his other message is bound to be along the lines of “when this chaos is finally over, don’t forget who your true allies and friends are.” The point is that - like Starmer - none of the Gulf states wanted Trump to attack Iran when he did. And although the UK’s military has been exposed by both the Ukraine and Iran conflicts as depleted and unequipped for this era of drone wars, the UK has been deploying planes and weapons to protect the region from Iran’s assorted uncrewed aerial threats. In the eyes of Gulf leaders, the UK - and Europe more widely, including Ukraine with its formidable drone capabilities - presumably looks a less intimidating friend than either America or China. They have a material interest in strengthening ties with Britain. This is important because Trump’s Iran war is re-configuring the global balance of power in a fundamental way. For Starmer and the UK there are risks, especially if the US were to precipitously withdraw its military umbrella from our continent. And to be clear, there is no sign of Starmer unilaterally abandoning the UK’s historic entente with America, even if Trump is an unreliable, and sometimes abusive, friend. 1/2

@Alexarmstrong @sarah_rick14163 Sadly he can’t help the UK with domestic issues, just blames everyone else to save his own job.

Keir Starmer: “This is not our war” Also Keir Starmer: jumps on the first plane to Saudi to try and take credit for ending the war. Never has there been such incredible levels of grifting coming out of Downing Street.

@furbabygirl Also Keir Starmer: jumps on the first plane to Saudi to try and take credit for ending the war which we weren’t part of.

Why should Donald Trump allow Keir Starmer to take part in the peace-keeping negotiations after he’s been telling the world for the last five weeks it’s ‘not our war’? He didn’t provide protection for our services or our allied countries so why should he?

@Keir_Starmer You’re charged out to the Middle East to try and get all the credit. You’ve lacked any leadership trying to get ships ready for any defensive operations. HMS dragon is a prime example how our defence isn’t ready. You can’t keep blaming the Tories for everything you’re in charge.

The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran today is welcomed by the UK and our allies. The goal now must be a lasting end to the war. Alongside our international partners, the UK will work to ensure a return to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

@MirrorPolitics Straight after Easter pops over too the Middle East as he leaves the UK domestic issues in tatters with junior doctors on strike. Blaming previous government and has no principles helping his own people.
