You know who this evasion and gaslighting reminds me off?
Boris Fucking Johnson.

As for the 'Coalition of the Willing', only one in five voted for Starmer to be our PM, his poll ratings have never been in the plus since he took office and he's supposed to be getting 30 other countries to sign up to a military alliance is he?

Starmer ducks question about whether plan based on hoping
Russia might agree to ceasefire is doomed to fail

Q: [From the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen] Isn’t it time to admit that Russia has no
interest in a ceasefire, and that a different approach is needed?

Starmer says he does not accept that.

He says he thinks President Trump is serious about wanting peace. And the
Ukrainians want peace too, he says.

Q: But what makes you think Putin will give up his long-held views on Ukraine?
Starmer says this is a process. A lasting peace is the right goal, he says. It is
what Trump wants, and what the Europeans want.

If they can provide leadership, backed up by operational plans, that is the
best chance for peace.

Bowen tried twice to get Starmer to addresss his point about Russia, but both
times Starmer refused to engage with Bowen’s point.

Q: You have been talking about this for almost a month. But only the UK and
France have committed to putting troops on the ground. Why aren’t you
making more progress?

Starmer insists they are making progress. He says 200 planners attending the
planning meeting in London last week.

44 There was a feeling around the table [at the meeting today] that Europe,
taking Europe as a whole, has not been this strong and united for a very long
time.

He says Russia is delaying. That is tactic they had tried before.

Q: When will there be progress?

Starmer says he does not want to put a deadline on things, but “we need to
see this developing in days and weeks, not months and months”.

Starmer says support in Europe for cooperation to help Ukraine
is ‘stronger and broader than ever’

Starmer is now taking questions.

Q: The US describe Europeans as pathetically freeloaders. How can you trust
them? And will you commit to putting troops on the ground?

Starmer says there were 30 countries at the meeting today, as well as Nato
and the EU.

AA There was a broad consensus that this group of nations is now stronger and
broader than it’s ever been.

In terms of military planning, that is going alongside the political process, he
says.

He says he has always been clear that a European-led initiative would need
US support.
Remember the old Tory adage: if youre in trouble politically at home, then go to war.

Reckon the Red Tories are banking on it.
we do need to defend ourselves from Russia.....and Gilead.

Is this the guy to do it? Nope

Somehow he thinks he's going to create a 'Coalition of the Willing' with his charm and personality....

JimmyB (he/him) hat dies geteilt

We'd need to do a lot less defending ourselves from Russia if a) we stopped fucking around with their neighbours' elections b) stopped pouring cash into their oligarchs pockets c) got properly together with Europe, and made it crystal clear that we are going to keep supporting Ukraine with whatever it takes. #Norway is shaming the rest of us right now...
the UK is all the words and none of the content. Same as it always was.

Starmer gets more like Johnson by the day...
