Starmer allowing the US to use UK bases to bomb Iran

Keir Starmer is allowing the US to use UK military bases to bomb Iran. This is an explicit deviation from his line that they should be used only for “defensive purposes”.

Specifically, Starmer has said that UK bases can be used to

strike Iranian sites targeting Strait of Hormuz

His previous comments meant that the US could only use UK bases for actions that would stop Iran from firing missiles that put British interests or lives at risk.

However, despite this, we have still repeatedly seen photos and videos on social media showing large bombs being loaded into US warplanes, on UK soil.

So Starmer may only be publicly changing his mind now, but it appears that US forces were already doing it.

Starmer — war criminal

Human rights groups are warning that the UK allowing the US to use its military bases could violate international law.

Yasmine Ahmed, Human Rights Watch UK director, has demanded “urgent clarification” from the government to ensure that US military strikes conducted from its bases are “compliant with international humanitarian law”.

But how can any strikes in a war that started due to Israel and the US’s unprovoked attacks possibly be “compliant with international law”?

There have been more international law violations in the last three weeks than even Ai Neyanyahu has fingers to count.

International law only works if everyone abides by it.

Starmer is proving over and over that he is a war criminal.

You’d have thought a former prosecutor might have reflected on the lessons from the illegal Iraq war.

Especially when neither parliament nor the British public have voted on the country going to war.

Consequences

Like usual, British households will pay the price for the government’s inability to engage their brains and face the consequences of their actions.

Just as Starmer has participated in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, he is now also participating in murdering innocent Iranians.

We can count on Starmer playing the victim when Iran bombs UK bases.

Iran warned him that anyone assisting Israel and the US’s illegal and unprovoked attacks would be fair game.

Similarly, it warned the world that it would retaliate for strikes on oil and natural gas facilities. It even issued evacuation orders, which is far more than the US or Israel did when they blew up Iran’s South Pars gas field.

Yet still, Starmer blames Iran and “condemns in the strongest terms“. Meanwhile, he allows the US and Israel to blow up Iran’s facilities.

So much for standing up to Trump. Starmer is a pussy. And he couldn’t be further up Trump and Netanyahu’s arses if he tried.

Starmer is nothing but a Temu Tony Blair. But we have to ask why Labour love war so much? Supposedly, the party of the working class, yet more concerned with blowing up black and brown people in the Middle East than making sure British people can afford their energy bills. All while lying about their involvement.

Starmer’s blind allegiance to the US and Israel is dangerous and will make the UK a direct target for retaliatory attacks. But he can’t say no one warned him.
