The Royal Navy has outlined its plans for a “hybrid navy” and expanded use of uncrewed systems during a visit by United States Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll to Portsmouth.
Driscoll, who oversees modernisation and resource allocation for around one million US Army personnel and 250,000 civilian staff, met First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins and senior Royal Navy leaders. The discussions focused on how the UK intends to adapt its force structure, integrate autonomous platforms and remain “warfighting ready” as outlined in the Strategic Defence Review.
The visit included a tour of the experimental vessel Patrick Blackett, where the Navy demonstrated equipment and systems currently in trial. This included Malloy T-150 quadcopters used for resupply to ships and hard-to-reach locations, Puma remotely piloted surveillance aircraft and scale models of uncrewed platforms such as the XV Excalibur submarine and the Proteus rotary-wing drone.
Malloy aircraft recently saw operational use in the Indo-Pacific, transferring stores between HMS Dauntless and HMS Prince of Wales during the 2025 carrier strike group deployment.
Royal Marines and 700X Naval Air Squadron personnel also briefed the US delegation on frontline use of small uncrewed systems and how these are shaping tactical concepts.
Jenkins said: “It is an honour to welcome the US Secretary of the Army to Navy headquarters and showcase how the Royal Navy is driving innovation and adopting agile practices to evolve into a modern hybrid force. The Royal Navy is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our US partners as they lead ground-breaking initiatives shaping the future of the US Army.”
The visit reflects ongoing alignment between the UK and US on uncrewed maritime systems, digital warfare and undersea infrastructure protection, alongside AUKUS cooperation on submarine technology.
Given the US vice president is actively calling for nuclear disarmament of the UK perhaps it’s time to stop inviting US administration figures to the UK.
Trump administration figures must begin to feel some sanction every time they shoot their mouths off. JD Vance in particular.
I don’t think its because Vance hates the UK, its because he is appalled at the direction of Britain’s demographics due to successive government’s stupid immigration policies. Its a concern that many of us share tbh.
The UK has a 6% Muslim population, Russia has a 15% Muslim population, JD Vance says that Russia doesn’t pose a threat to the USA but some how the UK does pose a threat due to its Muslim population.
Can you explain that to me please, perhaps you view things through a different lense.
The current US government seem to believe that social media is real life, rather than a very distorted view fuelled by special interest groups.
However, we have not helped ourselves by refusing to act robustly on issues related to mass immigration (e.g pull factors, boat people, grooming gangs etc).
Robust action to address each of these issues at the time they first arose would have lead to a far more harmonious modern Britain.
Unfortunately moral cowardice has lead us to where we are today
Jim, I think your comment rests on a misunderstanding of the significance of the demographic comparison, and it conflates population percentages with actual security threat.
The difference is how the state functions. In Russia, Muslim populations are largely indigenous and regionally contained, and they live under an authoritarian system that does not tolerate parallel legal, cultural, or political structures. Moscow responds to unrest with force, surveillance, and repression. There is no real space for identity-based lobbying, mass protest, or legal obstruction of state authority.
In the UK, large-scale immigration has produced densely concentrated urban communities with weaker integration, operating inside a liberal democratic system. The British state, like most European states, is far more constrained in how it responds to social tension, radicalism, or non-compliance.
You have claimed that “the US Vice President is actively calling for nuclear disarmament of the UK.” This is not true. JD Vance has made remarks about risks if certain “Islamist-adjacent” ideas gained influence in Europe, but he has never called for the UK to give up its nuclear weapons. Earlier, in 2024, he made a controversial rhetorical comment at a conference suggesting the UK could be “the first truly Islamist country to get a nuclear weapon,” which was widely criticised. This was clearly political warning, not US policy.
So when people like Vance talk about “risk,” they are really talking about whether liberal democracies have the will and tools to enforce cohesion, law, and shared norms at scale. If not, mass immigration can create serious governance and security challenges.
Greg, there is literally no indication that UK democracy is in any way under threat of being subverted into an Islamic state.. I’m a risk manager and an obsessive reader reviewer of geopolitical trends and that is not on the books.. the UK has far more chance of becoming a fascist or socialist state and both of those are profoundly low order risks.. the existential risks to the UK are external and they are state based ( Russia, China etc) … just a few days ago Vance was again talking about France and the UK within 15 years essentially becoming states the U.S. would consider enemies do to becoming Islamists..this view or a need to interfere in UK and Western European nation’s democracies to protect the U.S. interests is all over its now national defence strategy.. while at the same time essentially working to partner with china and Russia to divide up areas of influence safely and to the economic advantage of the U.S..
In truth if there is another GOP presidency and the GOP stay in the thrall of MAGA, we are going to have a very very difficult relationship with the US and it’s likely to support Russia in its develop of its area of influence ( Eastern Europe) and try and force Western European nations to allow that to happen… its clear the US wants to make sure Europe is not a future Geopolitical equal partner or even a player in its own right.. it sees it as it sees Africa, a continent to split into areas of of interest for the three powers it wants to develop.. china, Russia and the U.S.
Jonathan, I think you’re overstating both what JD Vance has said and what follows from it.
In the interview you’re referring to, Vance was not talking about the UK or France becoming enemies of the United States, nor was he suggesting that UK democracy is on the verge of being subverted into an Islamic state. Context matters: he was responding to a hypothetical question about whether cultural and ideological trends in Europe “could”, over the long term, have national security implications for the United States. He described a speculative, conditional scenario about long-term risk linked to what he perceives as the consequences of uncontrolled immigration and the spread of Islamist-adjacent ideas, not asserting that the UK or France will become US enemies.
His words were:
“I think there are Islamist-aligned or Islamist-adjacent people who hold office in European countries right now… “it’s not inconceivable to imagine a scenario” where a person with Islamist-adjacent views could have very significant influence in a European nuclear power. In the next five years? No. But 15 years from now? Absolutely. “If they allow themselves to be overwhelmed with very destructive moral ideas,” then you allow nuclear weapons to fall in the hands of people who can actually cause very, very serious harm to the United States.”
Regarding your comment that “it’s clear the US wants to make sure Europe is not a future Geopolitical equal partner or even a player in its own right”, I 100% agree. But this has always been broadly true. The difference now under Trump is that it’s no longer subtle, and more politicians and members of the public are recognising it. As I’ve mentioned before, and others have too, for those of us concerned with defence, there are positives from the current US administration. Most European NATO countries only agreed to 3.5% defence spending due to pressure from Trump, not because of the actual threat Russia poses, which is a bit bonkers, but true.
So yes, this MAGA lot are definitely stirring the pot and pissing a lot of people off, but if it means we and the rest of Europe wake up, get our own houses in order, and eventually start talking seriously about Europe being a deterrent to Russia without relying on involvement from across the pond, then so be it.
I think we will have to disagree on this one Greg,for the VP of the US making those statements about the UK and France is both purposefully and tantamount to a threat about controlling the direction in which are democracy is going. I’m going to reverse this a wee bit, can you imagine if the Prime-minister of the UK turned around and stated that “ it’s not inconceivable to imagine a scenario” where a person with fascist -adjacent views could have very significant influence in a the U.S. as a nuclear power. In the next five years? No. But 15 years from now? Absolutely. “If they allow themselves to be overwhelmed with very destructive moral ideas,” then you allow nuclear weapons to fall in the hands of people who can actually cause very, very serious harm to the UK”…along with publishing a strategic defence document in which we made it clear we would interfere, the US would go fucking ballistic..
I agree, it’s the office of the man that makes this an issue. If David Lammy started talking about Fascists taking hold in America or peoples with adjacent Fascist beliefs and posing a threat to Britain then that would be a diplomatic incident and a major problem.
JD Vance shows why we should rapidly back away from our alliance with the USA. Americas demographic is rapidly changing and it really is a big problem. It’s rapidly becoming a Latin American country rather than an Anglo one and it no longer seems to believe in the enlightenment views than formed the nation and brought us back together.
Religious freedom being one of those.
But I completely agree it is what is giving the impetus for Europe to finally start to take itself as a world power seriously.. my problem is the UK is not a core European nation and has alway sat between what is the core of Europe and the U.S.. I don’t think that position is long term tenable for much longer..
The world is heading to three dominant powers.. the U.S., EU and china.. with a number of independent lesser powers.. Russia, UK, India Brazil, Turkey etc.. our problem is we are very very close to the EU and also Russia, we know Russia is essentially becoming a Chinese satellite power and will probably gain massive military advantage from ( china built it a semi conductor industry in about a year flat as an example)..Russia is very close and hates our guts.. but when ( not if NATO collapses) we are not the core EU so what do we do ? Because in the future will the EU go to war with Russia for a nation on the periphery of Europe ? At present when the EU and US finally break and NATO dies the UK is on a bit of a limb.
A clear-eyed understanding of where we are. We need to see past this colour stuff and understand where the real threat is coming from, who’s carrying it out and organise at speed accordingly.
It’s notable that Vance’s words and signals echo what they officially have in writing as part of their national and global strategy. This isn’t being made up lol.
Brown people aren’t even the top 10 biggest threats to the UK; RW terrorism is though (reported but not nearly enough), The USA (by their own documentation lol), Russia and China
How is honing in on black & brown people even if you think it’s one of many problems helpful in the defence of this nation you care enough to now invite external interference (once severely frowned upon at least)
We all need to wake up
When Vance talk’s about almost anything it’s to a target audience in mid America who are rightwing, conservative, white and mostly uneducated.
Unfortunately most of the rest of the world has to listen to his nonsense as though Pakistan a nuclear armed country didn’t exist!
Precisely
So basically the U.K. should scrap its liberal democracy and become an authoritarian dictatorship to eliminate any hypothetical risk from minorities…
No doubt Vance will be doing likewise in the USA, just in case the Amish ever get antsy…
Good point
No it’s because he has a profound dislike of European nations, if someone tells you they don’t like you and are going to do something to harm you, it’s best to believe them and plan for that.. or you could just agree with them and hate yourself, but that’s a bit self destructive… the US has a far far higher mix of migrants than the UK.. that’s it not why he dislikes us.. he sees Europeans as a challenge to the MAGA movement.. he’s going to dislike our nation whatever we do unless we prostrate ourselves and ask to become a protectorate of the US.
I agree, the UK represents a different path America could have taken and MAGA hates that. It’s hard to keep telling people your the greatest nation on earth when a walk outside in any US cities downtown will clearly show you it’s not.
Not that the UK is prefect far from it however we don’t have anyone dying in the streets for want of basic health care. We don’t have daily massacres because machine guns are illegal and we don’t have third world levels of deprivation and child poverty.
To counter this MAGA needs to paint the UK and Europe in general in a negative light largely by inventing stories.
Many many stories
Same way Putin hates Ukraine, where Ukranian and Russian speakers can live peacefully together in a democracy. It’s an example he doesn’t want his own population to see.
the US is a third world country with a first world veneer
Most Petro states have a high GDP with a low HDI figure. The US certainly matches this.
Do you even understand demographics? I think not !
Vance isn’t concerned with demographics he’s an outright racist and nazi! If he’s so concerned about nuclear weapons being controlled by Muslims why don’t America invade Pakistan a Muslim country with nuclear weapons today not in 50 years maybe? Absolute nonsense
Oh my how the mouse loves to try to roar. Go ahead start a sanctions war with the US. Sanction the Vice-President of the US. Let’s see who wins that war.
Or we could just rejoin the EU and give that power block a boost.. cus your MAGA would just love a boosted EU as a competitor.. china to the left of you the EU to the right and Russia to the north of you… MAGA are creating a lovely world to live in…
If other countries stopped buying or just dumped US debt, then the US would be screwed
So would their own currencies. US gov debt underpins the value of most currency baskets.
Who mentioned a sanction war?
You may not use English as a first language but sanction simply means a penalty.
Trump administration officials make these statements all the time with no penalty. I believe there should be a penalty even if it’s simply raising a diplomatic note or going after them personally in the press.
Get used to it. China is coming for you.
Robert McNamara wasn’t keen on the UK having nuclear weapons in the early 1960’s, hence the Skybolt crisis
The UK has no independent nuclear defense and never has. Let’s try to get that cleared to you
Are you a Troll, if so you should find a bridge to hide under, The UK does indeed have an independent nuclear deterrent and has since becoming a nuclear power in 1952. Its first independent operational capability emerged in 1955 using V-bombers, transitioning to submarines since 1969 for continuous at-sea patrols (CASD). The UK at present maintains an independent nuclear deterrent, primarily through its Trident missile system deployed on Vanguard-class submarines and will be switching over to the Dreadnought class of SSBN in early 2030’s, and also the UK can launch its nuclear missiles with out seeking permission from the US
Yeah, let’s start with the independent nuclear UK power.. every f****** missile that ever was on a v-bomber was a b-28 from the US.0 And then the little silly exercise of the Polaris and Poseidon missiles and trident were all variants of American missiles that were all tested in the US
ok calm down
and also not entirely accurate The V-Bombers carried a variety of British and US nuclear weapons, evolving from large fission bombs like Blue Danube to thermonuclear weapons like Yellow Sun, along with tactical weapons such as Red Beard and the Blue Steel standoff missile, and later the WE-177 gravity bomb, forming the core of the UK’s independent nuclear deterrent.
I think you are referring to Project E: A stopgap measure providing V-Bombers with US-made bombs like the Mark 5 and B28 for dual-key (US/UK) control
Firstly, there’s a difference between operationally independent and sovereign. The British deterrent is the former but not the latter.
Secondly, the UK absolutely has previously had a sovereign deterrent.
I thought that the UK’s nuclear deterrent was both independent and sovereign, independent in that only the UK Prime minister can authorise it’s launch and sovereign in that the UK retains command and control over nuclear systems.
Although the UK does rely on the US for technical support
‘Sovereign’ is defined by the CD as ‘having the highest power or being completely independent’ – I don’t think the current British deterrent fits that description because it still relies on the US for long-term survival in its current iteration.
For example, although the Americans couldn’t stop the RN from firing the missiles they have deployed, without access to American maintenance facilities, the missiles would eventually become unusable. ‘Technical support’ is a little bit of an understatement – I don’t believe the UK can perform any of the maintenance on the missile itself.
Not really The warhead came from somewhere else… And was tested somewhere else and the missile sure as hell kid from somewhere else.. And the reactor in the submarine sure as hell came from somewhere else.. yeah, you’re fully independent
The UK designs and builds its own nuclear warheads for the Trident system at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in Aldermaston and Burghfield, but they are based on US designs so I’ll give you that
And, US atomic tech came from Europeans, UK tech, such as Tube Alloys, European scientists, Quebec agreement.
Oh, and we gave you radar, jet engines, early RAM stealth material, and you used a Nazi to give you rockets and take you to the Moon….
How far do we go back?
I myself have always supported the UK US link up post WW2, but If you have such a chip on the shoulder about Great Britain, why are you even posting here?
I have come to the conclusion that many in the MAGA movement pretty much cannot stand the UK or Europeans generally. Some of them don’t even like democracy to be honest, I had a great conversation which one MAGA guy who got pissed off with discussing why democracy was actually embedded in the U.S. constitution and finally admitted that his allegiance was to the republic’s not the present US democracy.
😂
He’s Probably thinking “Boys and their Toys” .
As a trump appointment is he actually qualified to be able to ‘think’?
I think so !
I do love those Tiktok/Youtube/Farcebook shorts where Americans are asked Incredibly difficult questions, like “What is Donald Trump’s name” ? or What is the Capital of the USA ?
I also love those “Rate my plate” sites where Americans show off their “Gravy and Buscuits”, Shepherds Pie, Ham Burgers and a whole half a Cow still moving on the Paper Plate, covered in blood and a ten Inch layer of Fat that they are Sooo proud of.
God bless America !
Very much so.
Toy boats instead of real, in service, war fighting SSN, Destroyers, and Frigates.
Shouldn’t he be at Andover, anyway, not the RN? The Army had a similar grand announcement way back about future force 2030 or 35 or something with thousands of UGV accompanying manned assets at a 20 40 40 ratio.
Where are they?
In a sulk because they’ve read the DIP and the Army aren’t getting any money?
Just as well we kept all those stalwart FV432s. 🙂
Probably for the best given how they’ve been spending it recently.
They have all be drafted in with spanner’s and planning boards for a massive emergency “ make ajex work for something or else” session.
Are they going to ask the question if all these drones /drone ships costs more than an actual real ship or ships is it really worth it, are thry over reacting with this hybrid navy thing? Its ships (and subs) that keep the international trade lanes open, do the port visits, maintain influence and presence, can launch helos, be redirected easily, carry a fuller fitout. Another 2Bn could buy a T26 and 3-4 T31s and get the fleet upto 24 escorts. Wouldn’t that be more useful? With the manufacturing capacity and copy catting of China i think the West may need more than just drones to counter drones and everything else pointing at it.
Don’t mention frigates in front of Yanks 🫣😆
I wouldn’t share anything with these bastards anymore than I’d be willing to share with Putin. They are effectively the same thing these days.
Certainly the current administration is and an increasingly large proportion of the GOP. The Democrats have their own anti UK agenda. Severing all ties seems like the safest option.
Go ahead sever all ties. The US will be glad to rid of a parasite that can’t even defend its own borders.
We probably won’t have to,the rate your pissing off people you will be all on your own soon enough!
As for being a parasite, can you name any programs or kit that you have actually supplied to anybody that the recipient doesn’t have to pay through the nose for?
And yet here you are on a UK website with your screaming insecurity. Where did the real Americans go to?
Pk is either a Chinese/russian political warfare operative or a MAGA true believer..for the security of western democracies it’s functionally the same thing.
Well, just after finding this site, I took a look back at the early days of articles and comments and PKCasimer was posting some 10 years ago in a very similar way with very similar comments. I’m guessing It’s just His/her manner.
Seems to like It here though. 🫡🤔😁
Are you kidding, the biggest parasite is the US, their whole economy is funded on debt, they can’t raise enough federal revenue via taxes to run the country, that is why they constantly have to borrow money, then issue bonds in the hope that other countries are stupid enough to buy them. As of this year the US is 38.4 Trillion in debt and counting, they have to pay 1 trillion interest annually, how much has trump raised via Tariffs??
Ok. Good luck building those nuclear attack submarines, or the F-35s, warship propulsion systems, or a host of other products, that will suddenly experience a sharp uplift in price.
That just plays into the MAGA loonies narrative. Despite what it may seem, they don’t represent the majority of Americans.
I hope the 1SL realises that anything he told the US Army Secretary will likely be shared with the Kremlin.
Given the current US attitude to Europe, should we be telling the US any of our plans for the RN?
It’s Christmas. Let’s see some Christmas spirit. We should all pray that President Trump makes a swift transition from his late mid- life crisis into a serene 3rd age. I’m sure his mental vacillations are just a side effect of his blood pressure medication. Why don’t we all club together and send him an MGB. 🙂
It would have to be the MGBGA version.
Somehow the image of Trump trying to tune twin SU carburettors doesn’t work for me. Can’t think why.
Make Great Britain Great Again, It’s the export version !
👍
To be honest it’s not Trump that worries me.. it’s the fascists that seem to be gathering behind in the shadows, that seem to hate Europe and see it as a geostrategic threat so something that needs to be controlled.. while trying hard to normalise trading relations with other essentially fascist or communism authoritarian states.
When the U.S. vice President comes out and states that France and the Uk may be nuclear armed enemies of the U.S. in 15 years, you have to seriously consider the future.
The US is suffering an identity crisis. Their century has ended and they are eschewing their European heritage as a land of immigrants, a republic held together as ‘one nation under God’ by a constitution forged out of a just war of independence. In comparing the US to his own chaotica, anti clerical, post revolution French republic, de Tocqueville wrote, “America is great because America is good, and the moment America ceases to be ‘good’ it will cease to be great.”. Prophetic words.
Time for an Indian uprising me thinks. 🏹🏹🏹 Maybe time for another “Yellow Hair” getting surrounded ?
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Constantinople. The new Pope’s first visit was to Tûrkiye. In Istanbul he visited (but did not pray in) Aghia Sofia, gave a speech to Tűrkish politicians, met with Erdogen and with Patriarch Bartholemew – the first among equals in the Orthodox church, whose edict granted the Kyiv Patriarchy auto cephaly – independence from Moscow and Kyrill, who served as a KGB buddy of Putin. Vatican diplomacy – back channels to peace hopefully.
Vance as president would be way worse than Trump, unbelievable as that sounds.
Let’s hope he doesn’t brief Trump’s Russian mates too!
Europe and the UK are getting ready for a f****** wake up call…. The United States is sick of your gimp ass
I think that the UK and Europe have already woken up to the duplicitous United States of America, they should have shown you the door years ago.
It will be interesting to see what happens if other countries started ditching US debt and what would happen if the US dollar was no longer the reserve currency? the US would be so so screwed
Your much vaunted navy will be going to war against China, with no long range aircraft, with pimped out coastguard cutters, with no VLS and no ASW capability, 40 year old destroyers and if you’re lucky the Trump class battleship
Don’t come running to the UK or Europe when you screw things up
We were there for you in two Gulf wars & Afghan until you cut & ran. Most of us on this website have been calling for greater, responsible defence spending & force levels for decades.
At least we know how to make good frigates…
Aircraft carriers that don’t need thousands of crew…
Create meaningful and beneficial relations with other States…
Provide health and social insurance that doesn’t pander to multi-national pharma and their in-cohort US medical profession…
I can see why you have issues.
Not judging but it seems your personal sexual perversions are starting to show. But hey, if wearing a gimp suit floats your boat then so long as you don’t do it in public then that’s fine.
Of course you have no means to defend yourself but good luck!
This guy is fuming lmao. Imagine getting this lost in the sauce.
Sexual frustration does that to people 🤷🏻♂️
Another of Trump’s placemen, received with enforced politeness. I hope they told him nothing new.
This one made First Lieutenant in the military, and was sent to Ukraine in November 2025 to demand of President Zelensky that he had to accept the 28-point “peace treaty” (aka surrender treaty) that was drawn up by Putin and I think Witkoff, demanding that Ukraine hand over its key fortification belt to Russia, and commit to never joining NATO.
There is a cohort of senior US industrialists, financiers and political imperialists who actively fear and also dislike Europe. As the ‘American Century’ comes to an end, they look at their economic and political rivals and act to undermine them.
It is interesting to look at the GDPs, expressed in dollars.
USA: 30 trn
Europe (EU + UK, Norway): 27 trn
China: 23 trn
These figures absolutely dwarf India, Japan or Russia, which the USA sees as the future spheres of global power. Funny that they don’t include Europe in their list…
Europe is the world’s second largest economic power, hence rivalry.is fierce. A joint European venture like Airbus knocked two US plane makers out of business and matches Boeing for sales. Military aircraft like Typhoon and Rafale scoop up orders from countries that used to rely on US jets. Japan joining Tempest is a.body blow to.US prestige and sales. It goes on, Leopard tanks rather than Abrams, Boxer rather than Stryker, European and east Asian cars rather than US ones, European chemicals surpassing US ones and so on.
The US ‘Project 25’ authors see Europe as a main challenge and the MAGA leaders are very keen on breaking up Europe, as seen by Trump’s enthusiastic welcome for Brexit and Vance’s overt support for far-right nationalist, anti-EU political parties like AFD and.leaders like Melloni, Orban, Fico and Farage.
In this, they share a common interest with Russia, which was up its armpits in supporting UKIP and the Scottish Nationalists in the respective referendums.
Europe, including UK, needs to increasingly act independently from the USA in geopolitical matters, trade deals and particularly defence. It is time that we start to transform NATO into two.piers a North American one and a European one, working under a joint umbrella. What Trump has done by insisting that Europe effectively doubles.its defence expenditure is to facilitate the growth of a European military super power, if the Europeans work together to develop our own equipment and rely less and less on US-made, US-controlled equipment.
I hope we didn’t give away too many secrets about Project Bastion, or we will have lots of US competitors elbowing their way in.
You missed the utterly bonkers part. Peter Thiel, who finances Vance, sees the EU (along with the UN and most supranational bodies) as enablers for the coming of the Antichrist… I kid you not. 🤦🏻♂️
we were kicked out, and left a mess in iraq, we were kicked out, and left a mess in afghanistan
enough said
Talking of utterly bonkers, I doubt Vance or Trump would allow Ala Abd El – Fattah to come and live in the US.
A man who denies the Holocaust, who thinks whites should be wiped out, wants Police killed, Downing St and the City to be burned down, and says whites are a “blight on the earth.”
I assume all that is actually true?
Strange then, that Starmer was on X yesterday rejoicing that he’s back in Britain?
And the nodding dogs of Lammy and Cooper were close behind.
Just as bad, the previous government granted him a passport.
No wonder Reform are doing so well?
Just thought I’d mention it as with all the usual anti US, anti Trump, anti Vance, anti Reform stuff we are doing something like this??
Conveniently, the BBC, typically, left out the dodgy stuff and say he’s only a peace activist.
Scratching my head here?
Trump has cosied up up to Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa in Syria and pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández. I guess it is what these people do next is the key thing
Not our problem those chaps.
Starmer must not be allowed to wriggle out of this.
Starmer said on X bringing this man to the UK is a “Top priority for his government.”
He also now denies knowing about his Tweets, footage of him exists discussing them when as leader of the opposition in 22 or 23?
Lies.
And this man is in charge of the defence of this country?
God help us….
note which party was in Government when he was given his citizenship. It seem there current leader, was a government minster at the time
Absolutely! I noted that in my original post.
He wasn’t on record calling his return a “top priority of government” with what he’s said and believes.
Pity grooming gangs and homeless veterans aren’t top priority, eh!
As sa7d, it is no wonder so many are going over to Reform, the 2 establishment parties are broken, whoever advises Starmer to say that…..anywaym there you go!
Modern Britain and it’s priorities.
Anyway, Simon, I’m back to defence, thought I’d add my two pennies worth with all the anti US stuff here.
Everyone seems to be ignoring the elephant in the room!
Why the hell are we telling him anything? For a start we know he is in bed with Russians so everything will go straight to Putin. For another the most likely next war will include Russia and the USA as allies attacking us.
