“The Prime Minister has made clear the UK will not be dragged into another Middle East war. It is not weakness. It is leadership”
Keir Starmer is right to stand firm and right to put Britain first. In the face of pressure from an increasingly unhinged Donald Trump, the Prime Minister has made clear the UK will not be dragged into another Middle East war. It is not weakness. It is leadership.
The lessons of Iraq still cast a long shadow over the UK. Blindly following the US into conflict costs lives, trust and stability. It must not be repeated. Sir Keir is right to remember history and act on it.
Trump’s jibes and bluster, dismissing British forces and turning up the pressure, should be seen for what they are: an attempt to strong-arm an ally. Britain should not be bullied into decisions that risk lives and deepen instability.
Our priority must be clear – protecting British people, supporting stability and avoiding reckless escalation. Mr Starmer has drawn a line. He must hold it. Because true strength is not about rushing to war, it is about knowing when to say no.

Bonkers BMI
BMI has long been treated as gospel for our health. But new research shows it may be anything but.
If millions of Brits are being wrongly labelled overweight or obese, the consequences are serious, not just for confidence, but for care. When access to vital surgery is being denied based on a flawed measure, something has gone badly wrong.
BMI is a blunt tool. It cannot distinguish between muscle and fat, nor can it reflect real health. Doctors need better ways to assess patients and quickly. This is not about ignoring obesity. It is about getting it right. Because labels matter. And when they are wrong, people pay the price, in pain, delay and missed treatment.
Lettuce Liz
Liz Truss lasted 47 days in Downing Street, yet now wants a “Trump-style revolution”. From lettuce-level leadership to conspiracy-laced rants, this is less comeback, more meltdown.
Britain doesn’t need imported chaos from the US. It needs serious leadership, something Ms Truss spectacularly failed to deliver when she had the chance.
