Tony Blair has rebuked Keir Starmer for his lack of support for Donald Trump's war on Iran, telling the Prime Minister: 'We should have backed America from the very beginning'.
Amid mounting diplomatic tensions between London and Washington over the conflict, Sir Tony warned his successor as Labour leader: 'If they are your ally and they are an indispensable cornerstone for your security... you had better show up'.
The former Prime Minister's dramatic intervention comes after President Trump described Sir Keir as 'not Winston Churchill' for initially denying him permission to launch strikes on Iran from UK territory, including the joint-US base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands.
After Sir Keir relented, saying he would allow the US to fly missions for 'specific and limited defensive purposes', Trump said that he had been 'very disappointed' by his British counterpart.
Sir Tony's criticism of Sir Keir, at an event hosted by Jewish News on Friday, is likely to provoke anger in a Labour Party still scarred by his decision to join the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 on the false grounds that Saddam Hussein possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
Sir Keir justified his initial refusal to back Trump on the grounds that he did not believe in 'regime change from the skies'. The arguments were based on international law, but were driven by political calculations about the lack of an appetite in his Cabinet for emulating Sir Tony's unquestioning support for American military action.
A spokeswoman for Sir Tony said that his comments had been made at a private event and were not intended to be publicised.

Too late now.
Yep. Too late.
Tony Blair paved the way for this nonsense.
You can’t start down the road to ruin without getting closer to ruin and then thinking you can just “stop”
Not helped by the fact that when the Conservatives took back control, they did not reverse Blair’s “reforms” and the negative trends continued.
Some lessons have to be learned the hard way.
Keir Starmer is not politically reliable.
Not even within the Labour Party, who are pretty much the equivalent of the Democrat Socialists of America, the surrender monkeys of the North American continent.
Buy chagos. Dump england. Invest in poland and hungary. Annex greenland. Entice western canadian statehood. Make cuba a protectorate/territory a la puerto rico.
Baloney. If NetanYAYhu and Trump launched the war without looping him in, don’t be surprised when he don’t leap to obey when you snap your fingers.
Adios to the schmuck limey communists.
Show up with what? Their military is in shambles.
Sir Keir replies: “ But I’m doing exactly what the Mullahs told me to do Tony”
At the very least, admit the IRGC are terrorists.
You are clueless.
How quick the Brits forget the dirty work this country did for them. The democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh planned to nationalize the country’s oil business, kicking Britain out of their share of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AOIC). When they couldn’t cut a deal with Mosaddegh, MI6 approached our CIA to conduct a coup, because Britain wasn’t capable of doing it on their own. With money and extensive propaganda, in 1953, with Operation Ajax, they overthrew the Prime Minister, and reinstated the Shah as leader of Iran, and puppet of the U.S.
Certainly. Bush called. Blair came. And Sir Tony had a lot of trouble living that down afterwards.
Its good we’ve lowered their allied partner status.
Why would we defend their orwellian chritian hating socialism and radical feminism, and killing your own people through invaders and neglecting their health needs. Not our values, we’re fighting that crap in our own country. Shouldn’t defend it in another.
If thats how they are, its good to be done with ‘em.
Even better, they made that choice.
“Keir Starmer is not politically reliable.”
No he’s not reliable because he’s an Obama worshipper.
‘If they are your ally and they are an indispensable cornerstone for your security... you had better show up’”
Well it’s too late now. Starmer and the Labour a-holes got and need the muzzie vote so none of this is a surprise.
It’s been demonstrated all this nonsense about Trump not supporting the allies - they are not supporting America.
Trump sometimes seems to be wrong, but is always proven right.
