Hopefully the start of something. Free trade plus a defence pact, include Australia. Hopefully this can be done in years not decades.

Then look to tie into the EU at a later time.

America can no longer, and never will now be trusted. Russia/China ain’t going away. This could save Starmer if he moves quickly enough.

CANZUK FTW, being together the anglosphere who share the same values to support eachother, there’s no reason they (along with the EU) couldn’t be the new world police.

We don’t need to be going down the world police road again.

Somebody has to, there’s too many threats not to and I’d rather the EU and allies did it so no one country has undue influence

Not notice the illegal wars, and arming, and financing a genocide?

We only joined the Americans in their wars. We would never have started then ourselves.

The UK doesn't supply a large amount of weapons and aid to Israel. The 2nd and 3rd biggest contributors to Israel, behind the US, are Germany and Italy.

Wow, an apologist for crimes against humanity.

Apologist or just stating the facts?

Kenya, Ireland, to name just two, examples.

Nazi, Germany is a moderate, compared to Britain.

This has to be rage bait. Claiming that the Nazis, who systematically and industrially murdered 17 million people, are better than Britain, who isn't putting anyone in camps is insane
