There is no political way to smooth this for Starmer. He MUST condemn the US actions completely and unreservedly, otherwise he opens the door to China to do exactly the same to Taiwan.

In 2025 and 2024 Israel’s air force and army chiefs were given special immunity by Keir Starmer’s government to visit Britain, to protect them from possible prosecution for war crimes.

Yes, very much agree with this. The real anger at Starmer from my left wing and liberal circles is the immigration and Palestine based decisions. But especially the former of the two. Labour simply does not understand who its supporters are (were). There is no workable Reform-to-Labour strategy.
And the reasons for that are not hard to find - Starmer’s unpopularity among left-liberals is the logical, arguably even intended consequence of 18 months of comms and policy which alienates and angers left-liberals while winning over no one on right. This is the cake his team have baked themselves.

It could be argued the working class have no longer got any representation at national level.
Keir Starmer is likely to be the last labour prime minister, and has pushed the party so far right that no-one will vote for them again. He has abandoned the socialist ideals to pander to the right.
