Will Starmer sit in the Oval Office, nodding and grimacing as Donald Trump spews his lies, or will he look him dead in the eyes and tell him in the strongest and clearest way possible: Britain stands with Ukraine before America, and we will not follow you down this path of betrayal, appeasement, and retreat?.
Frankly, it demands that Starmer call out Trump’s lies for what they are – directly to his face, on his territory, in the White House – and reaffirm, without hesitation, our commitment to Ukraine and the defence of democracy.
The President’s latest tripe on Ukraine – that President Zelenskyy is a ‘dictator’ who ‘should never have started the war’ and that Ukraine should be excluded from negotiations about its own future – is ignorant, dangerous, and disgraceful.
Starmer’s number one priority – more important than any domestic issue – must be to ensure the future stability of Europe and NATO’s survival as the world’s greatest defence force.
And that chance was seized by Winston Churchill a year later, in standing firm against appeasement, rallying Britain and its allies to confront the growing threat from Nazi Germany.
