My first real qualm was seeing a drunk abusing East Europeans in August 2016. By that October, I regretted my leave vote: #Brexit seemed xenophobic. Now the Government's chaotic lack of preparation & comprehension is laid bare, I fear for this country & support a 2nd referendum.
@PhilipsTruthTM@Keir_Starmer In your view (and Trumpโs) that is apparently so. But in Starmerโs view legality is non-negotiable. I therefore do not believe he can compromise by taking (or assisting ing) what he believes is unlawful action for the sake of diplomatic expediency.
@PhilipsTruthTM@Keir_Starmer I think his motivation is a matter of principle: he will not cause the UK to participate in actions which he believes are in breach of international law.
@Keir_Starmer Clever response. No condemnation of US but no endorsement of their strikes and confirmation UK armed intervention will be defensive only.
