Keir Starmer to visit White House next week
The Financial Times ^ | September 6, 2024 | George Parker

Sir Keir Starmer, UK prime minister, will meet US President Joe Biden in the White House next week, against the backdrop of a recent divergence between the two allies on their approach to the Israel-Hamas war.

The Gaza conflict will be on the agenda for the meeting, announced by the White House on Friday, which will see Starmer hold his second meeting with Biden since becoming prime minister on July 5.

Starmer this week announced Britain was suspending some arms export licences to Israel after a British government review found possible breaches of international humanitarian law by Israel.

He has also restored funding to the UN agency that supports Palestinian refugees and has changed the UK’s stance on arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.

Although the Biden administration has said it respects Britain’s decision on arms exports and the UK legal framework that underpinned it, the move represented an unusual variance in policy between the allies.

Starmer, who has been engaged in an intense programme of international contact building since becoming prime minister, previously met Biden in July at the White House on the margins of a Nato summit.

I hope Starmer’s plane crashes into the sea and takes him and all his fellow communists to a wet hell.

“Why? Ain’t nobody home? Biden’s on vacation”
I guess he’ll have to meet with Obama instead since both puppets are preoccupied.

Job #1 of the Trump administration should be to pull all military from the UK and let dimwitted “Sir Keir” know that we ain’t “allies” anymore.

That alliance was with a different nation then the one that exists there now.

Two Tier Kier...

Wonder if he will meet with the POTATUS, the putative PUTATUS, both...?

But I’ll bet TTK is a distraction.

Wonder who the UK’s Deep State is sending with Two Tier Kier and who those people will be meeting...

Our two Deep States are co-ordinating something...

What is it?

Another attack on Trump?

A better way to steal the election, a way to stall the election...

Or maybe they’re planning a bug out one step ahead of the posse, taking the contents of two nations’ treasuries with them to China and/or Russia.

Hold on to your butts...
