It's looking like it is going to happen. Putin has already said that if it does, Russia would effectively be at war with NATO. He's saying things like that all the time of course, but it would certainly be a dangerous escalation. I even heard a suggestion that the UK-made missiles would have to be operated by British personnel because the Ukrainians aren't sufficiently trained in using them. That would be mad.
Seems that Biden might have put the brakes on Starmer. Good.

‘No war is won with a single weapon’

Think you’ll find Japan surrendered in 1945 because of the use of a single weapon. But it was a long time ago and we shouldn’t expect the Foreign Secretary to have any knowledge of history.

He’s clearly never seen the QPR v Luton battle of St Pancras circa 2002 where a luggage trolly was the difference-maker.
 
Not content with agitating for WW3 Starmer now pissing UEFA off aided by Lisa Nandy in ploughing ahead with a football regulator. Now the threat is they'll kick us out of the Euros we are hosting. Nigeria previously were banned by FIFA for government intervention so it won't be an idle threat...

They’re not going to ban England from the Euros if Starmer gets “Uefa shag fish” tattooed on his forehead.
 
I saw Lammy defending The Toolmakers Son for taking Cash For Clobber from Lord Ali

'He needs to look good'

F**k me, it's not like Starmer is skint, can't get a 2 for 1 suit deal at Burtons

From the outside looking in, the UK political scene looks like a demented circus

Be reasonable. Even Eeyore needs some tasty threads. And specs. His wife needs to look good too, even though she is (apparently) determined to stay out of the limelight and there is no way he should pay for that. Likewise he is (according to him) terrified about the impact of his being PM on his kids, which is why he made it up to them by accepting £4ks worth of VIP Taylor Swift tickets for Wembley from the FA.

Have to say I’m slightly stunned at how quickly this mob have descended into corruption, milking the system and copying their predecessors and that it’s starting right at the top. I don’t want to be a cynic but there really isn’t much option if you don’t want to live in a state of permanent shocked disappointment.

Two cheeks of the same self-serving arse, the Lib Dems are the crack in the middle...
