‘Let’s just fight’: How Britain prefers war over peace in Ukraine
Putin is equally vile. Remember that Kiev, supplied by the West, had been bombarding the Donbas since 2014. And the NATO states said the war must continue to “the last Ukrainian.”
This, from a Trotskyist site.

Starmer declared for nuclear war.
“Starmer declared for nuclear war.”
This is not news. Any state that holds nuclear weapons has to say that they would use them if necessary.
“What’s this hard on that some Party members seem to have for Russia and Putin?”
I don’t understand how you could not.

UK £2.26bn loan will be used in Ukraine for weapons, Zelensky says
Starmer could end up like Blair. Remembered only as a war-monger. There’s a chance of the killing and destruction in Ukraine coming to an end but he wants to keep the war going.
Watched him this morning after the Trump/Zelensky spat. He began with “Nobody wants to see that”, which he kept repeating, and then spent 5 minutes talking without saying anything; just repetition.”
You’d think the EU would want to restore business with Russia, which they were exulting over before Biden stepped in. But for some reason, they seem to have contracted Bidenitis, and have returned to an extreme Cold War mentality, led by the nose by Britain, not even an EU member.

Yet again, a Labour government is forced to be the “party of austerity” after less than a year in office.
It’s all very well them blaming “economic headwinds” for blowing them off course but up to and during the election they were claiming that they could control the capitalist economy and be make it “grow”. They have found out very quickly that they can’t.
It remains to be seen how “fierce” the opposition of some Labour backbench MPs is going to be to their government’s new policy of “guns before butter”.
“Labour MPs claim ‘moral duty’ to reform welfare” (headline in today’s Times).
“More than £5 billion will be saved by restricting eligibility to personal independence payments, separate disability benefits paid whether or not someone is working.”
How much deeper can they sink? It’s now not just to save money but their “moral duty” to cut the welfare payments to the sick and disabled.
Oozing sanctimoniousness Pat McFadden, who holds the sinecure of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said:
“We are the Labour Party. The clue is in the name.”
Indeed it is. The party of forced labour for an employer.
If the workings of capitalism are forcing you to cut benefits to spare taxing profits, just do it. Don’t add insult to injury by saying you are doing this for some moral reason.
These people deserve all the contempt they are getting.
Looks like the Anti-Labour Starmer regime is gonna have its work cut out. Won’t be much to spend on all those jolly weapons of mass destruction (distraction?) to prolong the war in the Ukraine. This, after promising to improve the economic circumstances of British workers while making cuts in social welfare
