Britain would not get directly involved in the Middle Eastern conflict without a thought through approach from the US and Israel.

Starmer said British troops are shooting down drones and missiles to protect American lives in the Middle East on our joint bases; that is the special relationship in action. Sharing intelligence every day to keep our people safe; that is the special relationship in action.

Hanging onto President Trump's latest words is not the special relationship in action.

Well done Keir.

I do remember the diatribe by JD Vance along with other insults.
As they seem to believe they're invincible and can stand alone why are they winging now about European countries not rushing to their aid in an attack.

Yes I remember it too which is why we shouldn't take anymore than defensive action.

Oh, and the dear leader of the USA did point out recently that in modern conflicts troops other than those from the USA stood well back in combat, leaving the USA alone on the frontline.
Surely he can manage without these cowardly incompetents?

You'd think so Chocolatelovinggran being a cowardly incompetent himself.
