Polanski calls out spineless Starmer endangering UK in Trump’s illegal war

[polanski]

Green party leader Zack Polanski has said what millions of Britons will be thinking: Keir Starmer’s spinelessness is putting Britain in danger.

Polanski has called out Starmer’s “utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump” after Starmer [gave permission for Trump to use UK air bases][1] to attack Iran:

> The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer’s utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump – and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.

## Polanski says what we’re all thinking

So craven – and lacking more parts than just his spine – is Starmer that he even [tried to claim he still hasn’t involved the UK][3] in Trump’s completely illegal and unprovoked war. But Polanski wasn’t finished. He spoke up for the millions who don’t want another war, let alone for the UK to be involved in it. And he demanded Starmer respect the UK’s democracy, which the warmonger has ignored completely in his unilateral declaration:

> Starmer must withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases to launch airstrikes on Iran and parliament must be given a vote on any UK involvement.

And, in a separate thread he pointed out how just a few years ago, the weasel Starmer was promising “No more illegal wars”:

> The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
> 
> Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn’t have supported this war.
> 
> The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants – and it makes us all less safe. [https://t.co/Frh9jOJf0t][5]

It seems British military veterans, perhaps the best-placed among us to understand what Starmer is allowing Trump to drag us into, agree – like any right-minded person:

Starmer’s spineless, ball-less Trump-licking saw immediate consequences, triggering an immediate – and perfectly legal under international law – [Iranian attack on the RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus][9] that the US would use against Iran.
