Thus the headline “Sir Keir voted to ditch our alliance with the Saudis, which would have allowed Houthi rebels to wreak even more destruction... Starmer needs to tell us why on earth we should trust Labour with our security”. As usual, you have no need to read the supporting article, with the usual Bozo rambling stream of consciousness, as you’ve been told what to think.
But here’s a hint or two of Tedious Maximus in full-ish flow: “Well, the Houthis had it coming. We had no choice but to act … Of course, there will be qualms. People in Britain will be anxious for what follows. But the lesson is clear. You cannot turn your back on a region. You cannot just disengage from problems and hope that they will not affect you in the future”.
Like, oh I dunno, Afghanistan, perhaps? But do go on. “The spate of Houthi attacks on shipping, if it continues, has the potential to do incalculable damage to the world economy - and to the UK … There was … intensified pressure on the UK government to rescind the historic agreements between Britain and Saudi Arabia - signed under Margaret Thatcher - and stop the flow of arms and military support to Riyadh”. Getting to the point yet?
“One evening, October 26, 2016, all five opposition parties voted to stop supporting the Saudis and to end the military relationship … Look at those MPs who voted in 2016 to axe the UK-Saudi relationship, and let the Houthis get on with it. There’s Yvette Cooper, and Emily Thornberry, and oh yes, of course, there’s the member for Holborn and St Pancras, Sir Keir Starmer”.
Here’s the Guardian, from 2019: “A trip Boris Johnson made to Italy for a party held by a billionaire socialite ended with the then foreign secretary at an airport ‘looking like he had slept in his clothes’, struggling to walk in a straight line and telling other passengers he had had a heavy night”.
And where had Bozo been, allegedly without his security detail? Palazzo Terranova, owned by Yevgeny Lebedev, son of a “former” KGB officer. Except that you never leave the KGB, or its successor agency, the FSB. As John Sweeney spelt it out in a video [HERE], UK security agencies were not happy.
“So, Boris goes to Bunga Bunga parties in Italy. Who gives a damn? I don’t. But, and here’s the rub, MI6 did. What concerned them was not what Boris was doing, but where he was doing it - the Russian mountain. I have two sources who’ve told me that MI6 was worried that Boris Johnson, when he was Foreign Secretary, was a security risk”. A cabinet minister added “Boris Johnson, because of his private life, was open to blackmail”. Kompromat.
On top of that, and, apparently, in the teeth of opposition from those pesky security agencies once more, Bozo made Yevgeny Lebedev a peer. So the son of a Russian spy now sits, when he chooses to exercise his privilege, in the House of Lords. The Government has since refused to release details about the circumstances of that peerage award. When Bozo was PM.
Boris Johnson calling Security Risk on others is jaw-dropping hypocrisy of the most blatant kind. That’s how desperate the right-wing press has become.

Let’s not forget Johnson’s ally Priti Patel engaging in freelance contact with a foreign power while he was foreign secretary. Not unconnected, I would surmise.
Can't help feeling Keef Quisling too "had it coming" after "contributing" copy to far right "news"papers. Even though time after time he's supported extreme tory policies, even suggested they are intensified. Naturally he and his fellow-travellers support this extension of the war - it's what Langley and the Pentagon order.
Meanwhile, Bozo is what he's always been and always will be, as are all tories blue, red and yellow: a tenth rate opportunist thief and self pitying narcissist. The Heil is of course just being its nastzi gobshite self.
Just another day in far right corrupt toryland. There'll be a minor soon-forgotten distractive "controversy", then back to the mass killing and inflicted poverty at home and abroad. It's the only function of the British state and its dupes.
Bit difficult to see Starmer supporting the Houthis. Self proclaimed Zionist(s) Without Qualification won't do that. Anymore than support the arming of a theocratic Muslim state.
It's starting to look an awful lot like the Suez conflict of the 1950s, the role of Anthony Eden being ably played by Joe Biden. And of course Israel was involved in that too. I think this adventure can only accelerate the relative decline of the US and allies relative to BRICS countries.
To add further to the similarity, the Hungarian Revolution was taking place at the same time and Labour politicians were calling out the irony of a colonial war of oppression whilst criticising Russia invading a state in Europe.
@13.44 - Said it then. Say it now. Patel went to Israel to get the elders to get the board of British Jews etc onside to destroy Labour and portray Corbyn as a Jew hater. It worked. Tho god knows what else was promised by mays gvt. .. maybe that’s why we hear and see no support from gvt for Palestinians ?
