I have had cause before to point out that this PM guided by international law is particularly bad at understanding international law. He was unaware the ICJ cannot make binding judgements over Chagos. He was unaware of the need to amend the US/UK Treaty on Diego Garcia before even thinking of giving the island away as the US has a Treaty veto over the UK surrendering the freehold to protect their investment in the base . He has been opining on international law in the US/Iran war without calling out Iran’s breaking of international law by imposing charges on ships using the seas for navigation which are banned under the Law of the Sea. A country can only charge for use of a man made canal, not for waters close to its shore. The UK is not allowed to charge people for using the English Channel, a similarly narrow waterway to the Straits of Hormuz.
So let us look at his silly interpretation of the law of war. He said the UK and US could use bases to defend themselves but not to attack an enemy. If that was international law and all obeyed it there would never be a war. The laws of war allow a country to attack for military necessity to get an enemy to submit. They need to avoid civilian casualties, and ensure only proportionate civilian deaths where civilians are enmeshed with legitimate military targets. There are rules against torture, deception using symbols like the Red Cross and against certain particularly savage types of weapon.
What Starmer is saying is impossible for our armed forces. He is saying that our bases cannot send out force to attack an enemy about to attack us. They have to wait and then try their best to shoot down the incoming missiles, drones and shells. In person to person combat it would imply a soldier needs to wait until he has been shot at before returning fire which would then only be possible if the enemy had missed the first time. It is this doctrine which can lead to many past soldiers being investigated for alleged war crimes when they were acting under orders to take pre emptive action against defined enemy combatants.
All this war so far he has made out that the UK is not at war with Iran. It is true most of us did not want to go to war with Iran and Parliament and PM never declared war on Iran. It is also true Iran treats us as a combatant because it sees our bases , personnel and weapons as part of a US led system in the Middle East. It has been shooting at our people and facilities. Our personnel and weapons have been used to shoot down Iranian missiles and drones. The PM lives in a parallel universe, seeing the polls say the war is a bad idea. He then conjures up press events saying he is working to de escalate the conflict, yet he fails to talk to Iran or the US or Israel who are the powers that could de escalate if they wanted to.
Yesterday he went to the Middle East to thank UK military personnel in the conflict. What did he do whilst there to engage the combatants? What is his plan to create a lasting peace? Will he at last condemn the Iranian idea that they should levy a toll on ships and decide who can use the freedom of the seas off their coasts under threat of being blown up if they fail to comply? Is HMS Dragon still the only destroyer or frigate we have that can do anything? When will it be fully ready?

Summed up this inept PM rather well I think
April 9, 2026
Starmer is an irrelevance in the Iran war. Domestic interest only. Perhaps his aim is playing at statesman to distract from affairs at home. There was talk that it could help him remain PM after the May elections.
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is asking why Israel is getting away with immediate violation of the ceasefire and bombing Christian civilians in Beirut. He points out Israel’s aims are different to American aims and asks how and why a small country, funded by the US, has got away with this behaviour for so long.
April 9, 2026
Bombing Hezbollah – they directly warned all civilians not to use public transport because the internet has been turned off.
The Irish are expecting their internet to be turned off shortly. The mad Irish Government has sent the Army in to attack the people.
April 11, 2026
Peter, don’t fall for the Islamic Republican propaganda that Israel is engaged all on her own in a brutal war against Lebanese Christians. Something has gone very wrong with Carlson who appears to be possessed at times, especially with that hyaena laugh. Christians in Lebanon used to be the majority, but as is the Christian way, they invited in people who then persecuted them, often to death. They are in the majority no longer, and they are not living in the part of Beirut Israel is targeting. That is a Hezbollah military stronghold and naturally the Islamic Republic is concentrating all its propaganda on trying to preserve its no 1 terror proxy. Just as it does for its less important proxy HAMAS.
Does Carlson ever mention the North of Israel and how it has been depopulated by the daily onslaught from Hezbollah in the Lebanon? The Israelis there (who are not all Jews, Carlson) have only 15 seconds to run to a shelter, unlike Israelis further away from the border. Missiles, rockets, and anti tank weapons are no joke to be on the daily receiving end of, and are sent unprovoked. That is why the Lebanese are now fighting their Islamic occupiers. They are furious at what Hezbollah has provoked. Catch up with that, Peter.
And what, Peter, are the Israelis trying to achieve? They are trying to enforce UN resolution 1701 from the beginning of the century, which UNIFIL has continuously since then failed to do. That entails Hezbollah being kept back behind the Litani River. Not a lot to ask in the circumstances.
April 11, 2026
PS Israel is not violating the ceasefire by continuing the campaign against Hezbollah as that campaign was not included in the ceasefire, despite Pakistan and the Islamic Republic lying that it was. They are now trying to rewrite the terms to preserve Hezbollah.
The Islamic Republic however has violated the ceasefire over and over again. Ask the Gulf states and Israel.
April 9, 2026
“Inept” is far too kind “Malign, totally misguided and Evil”
No Starmer claims “We” have achieved this cease fire! He has achieved nothing he has made matter far worse!

Good morning.
It seems that our PM is a bit of a Numpty-Dumpty figure. ie “International Law means what I intend it to mean.”
I wonder what international law says about deliberate population replacement ?
April 9, 2026
“The law” especially “The International Law”. So what is the law – is it what the court says, the high court, the appeal court, the Supreme Court, the ECHR… Not even our courts and judges can agree and anyway the international courts have no police to enforce anything anyway.
April 9, 2026
Or the right of Chagos Islanders, of the vast discrimination against private school users or government coercing dangerous injections into young people and children who never remotely needed them even had they been safe and effective!
April 9, 2026
I think we’re doing Starmer an injustice ridiculing him; he clearly knows what SHOULD be done, he says so and we mostly agree, BUT he then either forgets his words or makes the situation he has commented on worse. This is deliberate. On Defence, Starmer has NO INTENTION to improve our national protection. Judge on actions..etc.
Since the great Mrs T, we’ve had PM’s who prefer the EEC/EU to the UK, look at their actions. We’ve called them incompetent but in reality they were working to integrate the UK into the EU project. (Bunter was a joker, just wanted to play the ‘Big Dog’) Starmer is working on that same plan; we tolerate his actions that are a level above his predecssors because we’ve been conditioned by previous conspirators. Boiling frog syndrome.
We have to have a change from the ‘uniparty’, or accept absorption into the failing EU project.
April 9, 2026
@Mark B – exactly his deluded two tier world, he is the Law and personally has a higher standing than that of any legislators, even UK Legislators in his imaginary world.
The UK’s problem of course it its Parliament, its democratically elected legislators, they neglect and refuse what they are empowered and paid to do,
April 9, 2026
Once we get too much into law, it is usually open to different interpretation. The rules of warfare are numerous but they are really of two sorts: pre-war (when a state may enter into conflict) and during war (what conduct is expected, military necessity).
My view is the US/Israel attack, during negotiations that the mediator said was bearing fruit, was unprovoked therefore illegal. Similarly Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was illegal. We’re all guilty of such things, and no better than one another. Law is one thing, realpolitic is another.
The conduct of war laws can’t be shrugged off though. Bombing of whole appartment blocks in order to assassinate individuals is not allowed. And some things are unforgiveable, whatever the “legal” position: e.g. poor targetting resulting in the double-tap incineration of 150 primary school girls.
We are at war with Iran (the “ceasefire” is not working). We should not be. It’s Israel’s war of choice, and they pushed the US to help them.
Legality really shouldn’t come into our decision to join or not: it’s not our business. This is where Starmer is hopeless. He should have the guts to say no and not use “international law” as a fig leaf.
Reply Little balance in this. How about the tens of thousands of Iranian civilians murdered by their own government for a peaceful protest? How about the Hamas attack on Israel?
April 9, 2026
Reply to reply. I don’t believe that thousands of civilians were murdered. Lots of armed insurgents/insurrectionists killed yes, but I think the claims of 20k 30k, 50k peaceful protestors being murdered is wild propoganda.
As for Hamas, they murdered 1000-odd people in an apparently barbaric raid. Bad. Here we have a full scale war launched against Iran and Lebanon with mass bombing of civilian areas killing larger numbers. Worse in terms of numbers of victims. On the back of 50k real civilians murdered in Gaza, this is disproportionate in the extreme in my view.
April 9, 2026
And you don’t think 14,000 Russian civilians were murdered in Donbass either?
If these civilian murders were true, would that change your mind?
April 9, 2026
The is a good book “Gordon is a Moron” on the disastrous errors of the Gordon Brown era – we surely need a huge one written for the Starmer, Reeves, Lammy, Cooper, Miliband, Rayner, Streeting, Mahmood… team and they have not even done two years of their malign destructive lunacy yet.

He certainly excelled himself yesterday with yet another overseas jaunt, his pointless posturing and very special way of utterly humiliating the UK.
April 9, 2026
All salient points. For some strange reason he sees himself as an experienced worldly statesman, but that is far from the vision the long suffering of the UK have of him, and even his friends in the EU, who see statesmanship as doing nothing, will mock him at the first opportunity.
If he were honest about his achievements he could see for himself what a mess he has made of things, but he doesn’t seem to have that ability well honed.
GBNews would be a great place to address, and highlight all of these failings – certainly they are worthy of further exposure.
Reply Happy to do an interview on them if they offer. I do send them plenty of material they can use any time, including this.

Lawyers have to speak to any Brief. When you add a weak personality to that demand, you end up with a person who creates his own reality by arbitrarily selecting facts to justify his ‘Brief’.
Transpose that weak individual into politics where he can choose his own Brief, you must expect a lifetime of training to remain unchanged.
Our current PM holds that minorities-in-Britain must be protected from the majority. When he travels to the homelands of those minorities, where they are the majority, like Pavlov’s Dog, he cannot change his trained response. So he ‘defends’ unspeakable crimes committed by his preferred ‘minority’ against justified, indeed required action by ‘the majority’ he has spent a lifetime fighting and fearing – the western world.
It’s interesting to observe that Starmer’s Majority (Europeans) now constitute .03% of the population of Africa.
Africans are not like the Jewish nation, which was homeless for far too long and HAD to live in other people’s countries. They have a whole Continent, packed with commodities and potential. They don’t have to live in a minority in Europe or America.
There are 57 Islamic countries in the world. No Mozlem HAS to live in Europe or America under a system that offends them.
I have had a belly full of European hating Europeans. They are the problem which we really need to address. Danish TV explains to Danes that establishing a Danish family is ‘inbreeding’. They need to seek mates from other races.
Perhaps some of the inbred ‘useless eliters’ (a recently coined description taken from the WEF ‘useless eaters’ phrase) should look in the mirror and do unto themselves what they wish to to unto others.
April 9, 2026
The stupid man glibly states that sanctioned oil tankers will be seized, so the Russians send warships along to escort them. Starmer backs down in the face of the Russian bluff and makes the UK and exposes the UK armed forces as a paper tiger. He’s just shown himself to be chicken. I expect the next move by Putin to be more brazen and more provocative, whilst Starmer backs down even more.
April 9, 2026
“PM guided by international law ” that immediately begs the question of what ‘Law’. There are treaties, understandings etc. but there doesn’t anywhere appear to be a ‘Law’, a democratic process to even create these ‘Laws’, A way of actually policing these ‘Laws’
All there appears to be a gang of self opinionated individuals, some would say ‘snake oil’ salesmen able to charge various entities for their services to present arguments as to this that or the other as their interpretations of previous agreements. But, they are not ‘Laws’
April 9, 2026
For one who gained such importance in a specific field he demonstrates incompetence too!

The bloke is a total plum. Hopefully he’ll be sacked off after labour are humiliated in the local elections.
April 9, 2026
‘It has been shooting at our people and facilities.’ And PM Starmer with his Parliament is living in a deluded world that leads them to refuse to defend UK Citizens life’s, UK interests. Yes they are the highest order of cowards and traitors to the people the elected them, lent them their power and pay their wages. Wages of sin as it turns out.
That then begs the question, the big question, what is the point of a UK Parliament, a UK Legislator when they put very personal ideological interest ahead of duty and purpose
April 9, 2026
To counter expected dismal results at the Local Elections, despite them not having in any real meaning to the UK as a whole, Labours talking heads have started electioneering by suggesting that 2TK going AWOL once more, rather than addressing the dismal state of the UK – is because he is a ‘Global Statesman’
A dim-whit that is not all there representing the UK as a ‘Global Statesman’ – unbelievable
April 9, 2026
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/04/08/labour-rebrands-starmer-global-statesman-election/
‘Labour has described Sir Keir Starmer as a global statesman in an attempt to avoid a wipe-out at the local elections next month,
Party officials are planning to use the Prime Minister’s work on the Iran war to shore up support and keep Sir Keir in office.’
PM Starmer with his Parliament is living in a deluded world that leads them to refuse to defend UK Citizens life’s, UK interests. – that makes him a ‘global statesman’ The majority in Parliament are deluded to think making us all look like fools is a ‘selling point’ – It tells the story why Parliament refuses General Elections, they don’t want to be held to account in a way that happens in a democracy
April 9, 2026
Starmer’s Gang are not merely incompetent nincompoops.They really do hate Britain. They don’t do God and, being Fabians, they don’t believe sovereign nation states should even exist. They want instead a borderless socialist global order with none of this pandering to ordinary people for votes. They have allied with Islamists, an alliance based on nothing but shared hatred, and so they have become a doormat for Islamist entry into and domination of Britain. Their objectives for Britain are entirely destructive and deliberately so, because Britain represents all that they hate.
April 9, 2026
Starmer fails to project strength in a time of actual conflict. He is actually projecting weakness as he sits like an ornament on a fancy upholstered easy chair along side an Arab head of state. His image in a sharp tailored suit perfectly suitable for a business meeting clashes with the traditional hot climate garb favoured by those living in parts of the world where the normal temperatures exceed our hottest summer days.
Starmer is making a fool of himself and is speaking the language of a bureaucrat in these times of military crisis.
He simply does not get what the role of PM actually is. The old saying championed by the US military, that failing to have France along side you in conflict is like failing to take a piano accordion with you on a bear hunt. Starmer is presenting them with a new musical instrument not to take, a buffoon (sic)
April 9, 2026
Anyone with even the shallowest aquainance with the Law of Armed Conflict knows this war is perfectly legal on the part of America and Israel. Starmer’s Gang and the Woke Left make an assumption that the vast majority of the public know absolutely nothing of the law of war, so they get away with stating utter falsehoods. But politically it is highly effective.
April 9, 2026
Whatever reservations I have about President Trump (and I have quite a few) given the choice between Trump or Starmer, I’d take Trump every time.
When I did my platoon leadership course, the Instructors were very clear. In close combat you either killed the enemy or would be killed by him. Fortunately, I never put that training to the test, although there were several times when I thought I might have to.
Starmer is a fool and a dangerous one. No International law is going to defend this country. If it comes down to it, we will only have ourselves to depend on and we will to have to do whatever it takes.
April 9, 2026
God help the Irish. Nothing on the news but the Army has been sent in, they think their internet will be turned off shortly.
This could be very nasty, they have a Canadian threatening them with debunking, seizure of assets, vehicles and money, and much more Canada style.
April 9, 2026
International Law is largely meaningless, sometimes a fig leaf, sometimes a convenient way for nations to deal if they are not feeling grumpy. Otherwise Might is Right.
A good article in the NYT re the pros and cons of the Iran war. Essentially Mr Netanyahu and team made a hard sell, easy job Mr Trump, a pushover, couple of weeks – job done. Which would suit Israel admirably – if only it were based on fact. A four point plan, the first two doable the other two slated as BS by American intelligence and Rubio and Vance.
The question now, can Trump lean on Israel to hold off on Lebanon? Not easy, Israel is on a roll with a golden opportunity to roll Lebanon into its Greater Israel project. International Law etc can come later. The price of gas and oil is not much of a concern for Israel, so why hold off now. We shall see.
HMS Dragon has many capabilities – including sinking. Rachel would be annoyed.

The PM is a poor leader unable to prioritise and make decisions
He is led by his confused interpretation of the law and a refusal to live in the real world
April 9, 2026
Here’s the thing now with JD Vance lining up on the side of Orban of Hungary a week before the Hungarian GE and presumably on Trump’s say so brings the US into line with Putins Russia. On the other hand Putin is reported to be on the side of Iran in the Middle East conflict so does this mean that Trump is fighting with himself? It is clear that Trump is being led by the nose by both Putin and Netanyahu in these matters so how could anyone reason with that? Yesterday Mark Rutte was in Washington to get a dressing down for not supporting the US in the recent Iran hostilities even though it had nothing at all to do with NATO. The problem here is that most world leaders have not been speaking out the truth anymore in case if brings approbrium down on their heads – and so we get Rutte referring to Triump as “daddy”. Under the circumstance I don’t think that anything that Starmer does or says will make much difference in the face of this madness and in the end it will probably take another Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal to re-establish a semblance of a world’s based order
April 9, 2026
Yes we hear Mark Rutte still sucking up to Trump – the wrong thing to do – and not my NATO. Yesterday Americas partner Israel slaughtered 254 people in Lebanon – not my choice of friends. The Iran war is not NATO business so therefore Rutte is completely out of order

You misunderstand Orban in the same way the MSM misunderstand him. He pitted himself against the Soviet Union and was a real hero. Now he pits himself against the new Soviet Union in Europe. Just because he doesn’t want to go to war with the world’s number 1 nuclear power who is also his neighbour, does not mean he is on Russia’s side. His analysis of the EU’s foolish and hubristic expansion up to the Russian border is correct. Again, it does not mean he is on Russia’s side. Really, the MSM are moronic and very, very malicious. Orban knows and understands Russia better than any other European statesman. They should listen to him instead of perpetually trying to smear and punish him.
April 9, 2026
Listening to Liz Truss talking to Jeremy Kyle yesterday. She said she was shocked at how being PM didn’t make her the most powerful person. She said a lot of what she learned about it, she learned after she left, and is determined to highlight it.
My point is, how much of the decision making is being done by Starmer? If the forces behind the scenes are strong, he’s weak, are they riding roughshod over him?
It seems very likely.
Reply Becoming PM, like becoming a Cabinet Minister puts you in office. To be in power you need to know who to listen to, who appoint, how to make decisions and how to follow them up. The government machine grinds on often doing bad or foolish things unless you supervise and stop it.
April 9, 2026
To reply:- indeed but the next sensible government we get if we ever do ) even if it gets a large majority) will have one hell of a battle with the blob to achieve the huge restoration we need after 25+ years of big state, tax and regulate to death, climate alarmist, open borders, net zero, socialist lunacy.
April 9, 2026
Our PM is a weak man who drifts along with no vision or ambition for the UK. The war with Iran just exposes his weakness even more, and other world leaders will be well aware of what a pushover he is.
He will use “international law” when it suits him, but ignore it when it does not.
In a dangerous world, we need a bold leader who puts the UK’s interests first and makes us as self-sufficient as possible in energy and food production. Who will spend what it takes to rebuild our defences and bluntly tell people we can be a weak welfare state or a strong one, spending in the right places?
April 9, 2026
‘Our PM is a weak man who drifts along with no vision or ambition for the UK.’
Exactly why his bosses and mentors think he is ideal for the job.
April 9, 2026
Starmer’s compass is 180 degree out so perhaps is it better that he is also a truly useless leader.
April 9, 2026
“All this war so far he has made out that the UK is not at war with Iran”
The PM doesn’t want to declare or admit we are at war with anyone. This is because his policies and actions could be described as “aiding and abetting the enemy” and hence treasonous such as:
– Allowing tens of thousands of unidentified young men of fighting age and (some?) with alien cultures, hostile to our own, to freely walk our streets.
– Giving away, with a very large dowry, sovereign territory useful for military purposes to a country who closely aligns with China, a country described by our security services as “hostile”
– Pursuing the de-industrialisation policy of Net Zero to sabotage our economy, energy security and national security and making us dependent upon China for our energy infrastructure, metals, minerals and device and the means to produce weapons. His SoS for Energy Security and Net Zero has even made a deal with China that they refuse to disclose.
April 9, 2026
Why does Starmer think that international law prevents preemptive action against an enemy that is about to build a nuclear bomb and has the means to deliver it against countries that it has threatened for 50 years? If so the law and any lawyers that agree need to be ditched.

I have listened to the US State Department version of the agreement reached with the help of the Pakistan government and that put out by the Iranian regime.
The above is the nearest report to clarity on the Net.
As far as I an see, the Iranians claim to have won the war and are agreeing to the cease fire providing that they can fire on any ships they don’t like and keep on making weapons grade uranium. Oh, and the US and Israel agree not to be nasty tother again. It had nothing to do with Trump sounding like he might actually blow up their power stations and make the country because a failed State.

Off Topic.
So Healey announces the Russian submarine activity over our sea cables and pipelines.
We need to publicly call any damage by submarines an act of war and that we will attack them mercilessly possibly leading to sinking or disabling them. You have been warned.

Defence Secretaries!
Williamson “Russia, shut up and go away”
Healey “We see you! we know what you are doing! and if you interfere with our undersea cables there will be serious consequences”. Yeah, we will suffer blackouts, and normal life will come to a standstill.
April 9, 2026
With the apparent dissolution of the International rules based order, both rules and law, it might be worthwhile in the interim to just do what we can to help with defence. Today we hear from Defence Sec Healey about the russian submarines activity around the UK coast so it might be time now to consider getting together with our European partners to close off the entire English Channel with the Irish Sea and Western Approaches to the British Isles but also the Gibralrar Straits to all foreign navies and merchant ships and especially those ships carrying war munitions and cargoes to the Middle East – all pending examination
