There’s no way Starmer pulls us into this war, given the current political climate in the UK.
The two far-right party leaders called to join the war in Iran as soon as it started - they’ve both had to backpedal now due to the UK public categorically not supporting the war.
It’s given Starmer some much-needed good press. His actions on the world stage have been consistently brilliant and I don’t see that stopping yet. He should be able to keep our noses clean during this, but I suspect we’ll be hit with the recession regardless.
There’s speculation that that is something Trump and the Republicans are after, with some evidence to support that theory.
There’s zero evidence to support New Labour will attempt the same. This is just tin foil pulled out your arse conspiracy, which aids nobody but the fascists. Don’t let the bastards win, don’t spread unfounded conspiracies.
Only two elections have ever been cancelled in our history, both during world wars. Both times the ruling party didn’t keep control but instead a coalition government of varying parties was formed. The strategy of cancelling elections to keep power in the UK therefore doesn’t work, has no evidence to support it, and the ruling party don’t have the public support to even attempt let alone pull off.
I don’t have a lot of faith that a worm like Kier Starmer won’t fold after Trump yells at him a bit.

You forget that Starmer loves shooting himself in tbe foot and hates good press
And he could try the whole “no elections during wartime” strategy if he really wants to end up even more hates than he already is

There is no way the Lords would allow that, nevermind the King. We are a consitutional monarchy. The buck doesn’t stop at Starmer.
In fact, I doubt even Starmer’s own MPs would follow such a whip
His domestic politics have been a disaster, but his international stuff has been pretty damn good. Mostly…
I take that back, the government’s position on Israel/Gaza is a disgusting… Apart from that though!
The bad domestic policies he quietly tended to walk back a bit, like the whole mandatory ID thing
Don’t know that much about him, but it would be epically spineless of him if he did.
after trump just threatened all of EU for not supporting him too.
Starmer ain’t Blair.
He can’t afford to fold. He’s close to finished as it is, siding with trump would be the last straw.
