What you are seeing today is a Failure of Starmer's policy of sucking up to Trump in the hope that America won't be mean to us.
It didn't work.
He is not a 'Trump whisperer', there is no such thing.
Starmer has failed, you stand up to bullies, you don't enable them.
Worth remembering that #uk rearmament in the 1930s was not funded by further cuts in benefits - those in 1931 took place before #hmtreasury abandoned 'the no major war in ten years' assumption - this was scrapped in 1932. If #nevillechamberlain and #sirjohnsimon - the two successive chancellors of the exchequer - preferred to resort to taxes and borrowing why should not #rachelreeves - or any #labour successor - do the same this time round ?

Timothy Snyder: #Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible
"As American and Russian negotiators converge today in Munich for a major security conference, carrying in their briefcases various plans about Ukraine without Ukraine, the temptation is to recall another meeting in that city. Appeasement of the aggressor seems to be the plan now, as it was with Germany in 1938."

@jaykuo Well, #NevilleChamberlain in #Munich in #1938 comes to mind, maybe not darker but as dark.
Tämän pitäisi olla kaikille itsestäänselvää, ja myös #EU:n tulisi todeta tämä. #Ukraina'a ei saa myydä kuten #NevilleChamberlain myi #Tšekkoslovakia'n #München'issä. #TrumPutin painukoot hiiteen.

You don’t negotiate with #fascists.
#NevilleChamberlain found that out to his & the world’s cost.
#Albo needs to man up & call a fascist a fascist.
@foksuk En voor degenen die uit het raam zaten te kijken tijdens geschiedenis:
#NevilleChamberlain #appeasement #didntendwell
A vain & desperate leader, using other people's land to bargain with an aggressive militaristic dictator, promising "peace in our time"....
Don't go there friends.
