    From Iran to Libya, from Panama to Venezuela, there is a history of the UK supporting illegal US military interventions

    Forty years ago, US warplanes bombed Libya, attempting to assassinate its leader Muammar Gaddafi. Failing in that task, they managed to kill dozens of civilians in Tripoli, Libya’s capital.

    The attacks, which were in response to the bombing of a Berlin nightclub blamed on Gaddafi, were strongly supported by Margaret Thatcher’s government. Indeed, she allowed some of the US jets to take off from bases in Britain.  

    In the face of widespread public opposition to the US raid, a defiant Thatcher told parliament it was “a necessary and proportionate response to a clear pattern of Libyan terrorism” and to “uphold international law”.

    However, the UN General Assembly, and most world opinion, condemned the attack as a violation of international law. 

    But for the British prime minister: “The United States has stood by us in times of need, as we have stood by her. To refuse their request for the use of bases here would have been to abandon our responsibilities as an ally and to weaken the fight against terrorism.”

    Fast forward two decades, and we find ourselves in a not dissimilar situation over US attacks on Venezuela. 

    UK ministers give their backing to the kidnapping of a foreign head of state amidst a military intervention, condemned in the wider world but supported in Whitehall because of the so-called “special relationship”.

  • Morning Star Editorial: Starmer’s nuclear bomber fleet brings us all closer to the brink

     Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks with US President Donald Trump before the start of a North Atlantic Council plenary meeting during the Nato Summit at the Hague, Netherlands, June 25, 2025

    KEIR STARMER’S decision to buy 12 nuclear-capable F35A warplanes from the United States leaves us all less safe.

    The decision stinks on every level.

    Those who argue British rearmament will revive our gutted manufacturing sector instead see the Prime Minister splurging enormous sums — each plane comes with a price tag of $80-100 million — on US-built weaponry.

    Hardly surprising, since a key motivation for Starmer is to appease a belligerent White House, whose demand that we ramp up “defence” spending serves the war profiteers of its bloated military-industrial complex. F35 manufacturer Lockheed Martin is one of the death-merchants that has done very nicely out of a world at war, with sales up 5 per cent last year to $71 billion.

    Much worse still is the shift in nuclear policy this indicates. It lowers the threshold for use of a nuclear weapon in conflict, which has been taboo ever since the only country ever to do so — the United States — killed a quarter of a million people by dropping the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago this August.

  • Keir Starmer sends UK jets to further support US-Israeli Fascism

    UK Labour Party government ministers Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves explain that they are partners complicit in Israel's Gaza genocide. The UK has provided Israel with arms, military and air force support. They explain that they don't do gas chambers but do do forced marches, starvation, destroy hospitals, mass-murders of journalists and healthcare workers.

The UK has provided Israel with arms, military and air force support.

    There’s a story very recently published on the BBC about UK sending military jets to the Middle-East. Keir Starmer is quoted stating that these military jets are being sent to de-escalate the situation. Is he on a different planet? Can somebody please ask him how military jets can de-escalate a conflict?

    He’s taking us for fools. We know very well that these jets are going to support Israel. Keir “I support Zionism without qualification” Starmer is a total genocide-supporting mass-murdering total cnut. So, UK is going to support Israel in an illegal war after supporting Israel’s Gaza genocide from the outset.

  • Labour’s rush to Thatcherism: what’s going on?

    Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves during a visit to Premier Modular in Driffield, Humberside, January 30, 2025

    SOLOMON HUGHES examines how Labour has gone from blaming Tory deregulation for our economic woes to betting the nation’s future on more of it

    WHEN Keir Starmer finally got his prime ministerial phone call with President Trump on Sunday, according to Number 10 the two “discussed trade and the economy, with the Prime Minister setting out how we are deregulating to boost growth.”

    Which is odd, because the word “deregulation” isn’t in the Labour manifesto. In fact, before the election Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds argued deregulation was a Tory sin that didn’t bring growth.

    Starmer was telling Trump the truth — Labour are pressing regulators to let business do what it wants in the desperate hope they will get some “growth” to drag up their low polling. But why does Keir tell Trump the truth before British voters?

    Perhaps aware that they had stumbled into openly admitting they are a “deregulation” government, despite previous promises, Starmer finally decided to lay this out by writing in The Times, making a Tory argument in the Tory press.

    In his Times article Starmer admitted: “This may seem like an unusual goal for Labour politicians. But deregulation is now essential for realising Labour ambitions in this era.”

    He referred admiringly to Thatcher’s deregulation and launched into purple prose about the need to hack at “thickets of red tape” to “clear out the regulatory weeds and allow a new era of British growth to bloom” and “curb regulator overreach.”
