Starmer has resigned.
For veterans, the question is not who becomes PM.
It is what happens to Northern Ireland legacy legislation, whether Al Carns retains influence, and who will have the new Prime Minister's ear on veteran issues.

@DanJarvisMBE Duty, then fund it. The boarding? People will see through that PR stunt. Where are you on NI Legacy? Is Powell still pulling the strings?
Interesting: The MoD have felt the need to deny the Russian tanker raid was staged. Ask yourself why. Because in the same breath they accidentally confirmed everything people were saying
Their own spokesman admitted footage was taken at multiple points and compiled together. Different takes. Edited into voice can be heard saying ROLLING. And telling a soldier to HOLD THAT during a live search of the vessel.
Those are not military commands. Those are film production commands. And the MoD just told us that themselves.
The policy to seize shadow fleet ships was announced in MARCH. Three months. Not one tanker touched.
The Smyrtos sailed from the Russian oil terminal Ust-Luga on June 4. They tracked it for ten days as it crossed the North Sea and entered the Channel.
They did not stumble upon this ship on the night of June 14. They chose the night before the G7 to act.
That is not a military decision. That is a scheduling decision.
World leaders arriving the next morning specifically to discuss standing up to Russia. Starmer needed something to walk into that room with. 3am operation. Tweet before breakfast. Video uploaded before the world woke up.
The man Trump publicly called not Winston Churchill needed to walk into the G7 looking like one. So he produced a film the night before the G7 to prove he is still relevant.
As DPP he volunteered to go after British soldiers. Did not have to. Was not asked to. Chose it. For free.
Here’s is what makes this truly obscene. The man now wrapping himself in the Armed Forces spent years pursuing British soldiers through the courts. Nobody asked him. Nobody paid him. He chose to prosecute them. Worked for free to do it. That is not a lawyer doing his job. That is a man with an agenda.
Armed Forces shrinking by 300 a month. Lowest since the Napoleonic Wars.
Eleven days before this three Royal Marines were killed when a Merlin Mk4 crashed in Devon. Same aircraft. Investigation open. Not grounded. Used anyway.
Chris Gayson. Lily-Mae Fisher. Owen Green. Lily-Mae never got her wings. They were due this month.
He spent years trying to destroy soldiers like them. Then used what is left of them to save himself.
Our soldiers deserved better than being props in his political survival film.
Washington’s swamp thrives on a system that puts entrenched bureaucrats and political insiders ahead of the American people.
So, isn't Peter Mandelson exactly one of those?
