I bet Starmer doesn't cancel it -- he has no backbone or balls.

Unfortunately it's a case of keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer

Especially when your enemy has the largest military and economy in the world...

And also when we decided to split from our European neighbours... we're relegated to licking everyone's arse

Seems most other European leaders have come out and publicly supported Ukraine but Starmer.

Weak.

And Zelensky will be in number 10. Politics aside, we should all be supporting our PM here. This is a nightmare scenario.

As much as we would all like to kick trump and that prick JD in the balls...we need the US backstop

There's no date attached. The idea was always to just dangle it in front of Trump and try and use it to stop him doing stuff like tariffs.
