The first 20 months of Keir Starmer's Prime Ministership have been anything but smooth but for probably the first time since 5 July 2024, he finds himself firmly on the side of public opinion.
The latest poll puts over three quarters of Brits (78%) agree with Starmer's stance on the Iran War and agree that it was right for Starmer to not join America and Israel in bombing Iran and refusing permission for American planes to use British military bases in their attack.
Following yet another sulky temper tantrum from the Orange Toddler in Washington, the Labour are hoping they continue because Trump was always toxic but now is even more so as he instigated the latest American misadventure in the Middle East, and this time we are not alongside the invaders.
The Conservatives attacked the PM for failing to do more to support the US and Israel, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was photographed in Mar-a-Lago alongside Trump this weekend and even the hated Tony Blair, the joint architect of the disastrous Iraq War debacle, has stuck his head above the parapet to say that we should be alongside America.
For many who remember the Iraq War, Blair is the very last person who should be giving advice on following American presidents into wars in the Middle East but Trump and Blair piling in on Starmer is something of a godsend as it highlights the contrast between his own cautious approach to War and the recklessness of yet another not so bright American Leader starting wars in the Area.
Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, was on TV this morning repeating that the Government is: 'Acting in the UK's national interest' and showing that they have: 'Learnt lessons of went wrong in Iraq'.
The PM has made it known that his own view was that the war was illegal and he opposed 'regime change from the skies' and there has been an uptick in his own popularity since the start of the war while Reform and the Conservatives bizarrely refuse to read the room and make it known that we should be Americas' poodle again which is very much against public opinion and will sure to be used against them in the upcoming by-elections.
Trump can bang his teeny tiny little fists against all the tables he wants but every time he does, the Government cheer and watch their support go up because the one thing we have learnt is not to be on the side of America when they start illegal wars.
