His Own Man

Those who accuse Team Starmer of parroting the Farage Falange will have egg on the other side of their faces in the wake of the latest peace offering by the Trumpster and his head-tribble. A forthright slab of social-media diplomacy has promised the death of a civilisation unless Iran does as it's told, and the strutting Caudillo of the Farage Falange was among those who reacted unfavourably. By contrast, the CEO of Team Starmer has not reacted at all, except to continue the mainland's facilitation of wink-wink defensive operations. So now we know: even the CEO of Team Starmer can disagree with the Farage Falange now and then, provided the latter has balked at openly condoning a credible threat of genocide.
