    By your logic Biden should get the credit for that

    That’s a shame
    You usually have a sensible point, but that’s nonsense.
    Correlation isn’t always cause and I was talking about something that seems to have been directly caused by Trump, to stop something actively being pursued by Biden, not some event that just happened that there has never been any suggestion Biden was trying to cause.
    I could be wrong of course, but your point is unrelated nonsense I’m afraid.

    Now there was a great prime minister, Tony Blair. Top 3 in my life time along with Maggie Thatcher and Boris.

    Blair took us into more conflicts than any other PM.

    I know I was in many of them and have the medals and bars to thank him for. Good times.

    So, you are a right wing, fascist occupier and oppressor of poor innocent people. (Just joking, paraphrasing leftie types. Proud of my 19 year old grandson who is in the army.)

    Technically, no UK prime minister has taken the UK into conflicts - parliament doesn't get the final decision, it's declared by the sovereign.

    For all their faults, of which there were many, both Blair and Thatcher benefited certain sectors of society - Thatcher the middle class/white collar, at the expense of the working classes and Blair, generally raised many out of poverty and improved social and health services.

    Genuinely struggle to see which strata of society that policies from Cameron to Starmer have made life better for, apart from a handful of wealthy ppl connected to the parties. Happy to be pointed in the right direction if wrong.

    Except the sovereign is a figurehead. Charles couldn’t decide to invade anywhere because he claimed there were WMD there or to cosy up to an American President,

    Officially he could - the UK monarch can dissolve parliament and declare war. Hence why they're his armed forces, not the people of the UK or parliament's. A UK PM doesn't have the authority to declare war, just to advise the monarch to do so.

    Last declaration of war by the UK was 25th January 1942, bet you can't guess who against without Googling.
