Investigative journalist Paul Holden breaks down the movement that brought Keir #Starmer to #DowningStreet, and the UK to it's knees.
Holden is particularly interesting on the unusual nature of Starmer's mendacity, how it seems to be both unusually central and unusually inept.

Il Tempo: Incontro Starmer-Zelensky: non distogliere attenzione da Ucraina
Londra, 17 mar. (askanews) - Il primo ministro britannico Keir Starmer ha ribadito oggi al presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky che la guerra in Iran non deve distogliere l'attenzione dall'Ucraina, riferisce il Guardian.
In un rapido confronto con la stampa, prima dell'inizio dei colloqui privati a Downing Street, Starmer ha sottolineato che alla Russia non dovrebbe essere consentito di trarre vantaggio dal conflitto iraniano, che ha fatto salire i prezzi del petrolio e portato gli Stati Uniti a sospendere parzialmente le sanzioni contro Mosca.
Starmer ha dichiarato: "La nostra determinazione è incrollabile. Penso sia molto importante chiarire che il focus deve rimanere sull'Ucraina. Ovviamente c'è un conflitto in corso in Iran, in Medio Oriente, ma non possiamo perdere di vista ciò che sta accadendo in Ucraina e l'importanza del nostro sostegno. Putin non può essere colui che trae vantaggio da un conflitto in Iran, sia per i prezzi del petrolio sia per la sospensione delle sanzioni".
Zelensky ha ringraziato il Regno Unito e sottolineato la necessità di non dimenticare "gli sforzi diplomatici e i negoziati in corso, e la situazione attuale con gli americani e con i russi", aggiungendo che nel corso dell'incontro avrebbero discusso anche della guerra in Iran, che a suo dire sta avendo una "grande influenza" sull'Ucraina e sull'Europa.
Starmer-Zelensky meeting: don't lose sight of Ukraine.
London, March 17 (askanews) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer today reiterated to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the war in Iran must not divert attention from Ukraine, reports the Guardian.
In a brief exchange with the press, before private talks began at Downing Street, Starmer stressed that Russia should not be allowed to benefit from the Iranian conflict, which has driven up oil prices and led the United States to partially suspend sanctions against Moscow.
Starmer stated: "Our determination is unwavering. It is very important to make clear that the focus must remain on Ukraine. Obviously there is a conflict underway in Iran, in the Middle East, but we cannot lose sight of what is happening in Ukraine and the importance of our support. Putin cannot be the one who benefits from a conflict in Iran, whether for oil prices or the suspension of sanctions.”
Zelensky thanked the United Kingdom and emphasized the need not to forget “diplomatic efforts and ongoing negotiations, and the current situation with the Americans and Russians,” adding that they would discuss the war in Iran during the meeting, which he said is having a “great influence” on Ukraine and Europe.
