Yes, selling would be too much for starmer, he paid them to take it.
It certainly looks like it. Too many hoping the mid terms will stop him. Bizarre times we live in.
They will if he loses the house which all polls are pointing to, his own Republicans are starting to shift from Trump, think Vance will be lined up but think the damage will already be done with Trumps cuckoo behaviour.

He'll try for a third term.
I'm fairly certain, CBA looking it up for confirmation.
Add the tories in then. What UK governments have done is not a million miles away.
Another junkie princeling receives a pardon while ordinary ones languish in jail. Washington nepotism stinks, and Trump is up there with the worst of them.Trump orders release of Arkansas congressman's son serving drug sentence
President Donald Trump granted clemency to Rep. Steve Womack's son, James Phillip Womack, who was serving a federal drug sentence.
8 years for 5 grams!!!!
Apparently US accepted it last year.
Well that will be a move in the correct direction
Was talking about this last night. Starmer is buying and selling people's homeland like it's his toy (when I say 'selling' i mean labour style, ie giving huge amounts of money to the 'buyer' in order to give them our territory) which is not a million miles removed from Trump and Greenland.

Good article. But true patriots would surely then wish for a country / continent that stands on its own two feet and is not America's pup? Not a lot of that going about from any corner as far as I can see.The double standards of the plastic patriots.
Just as Hungary 1956 split the international left for a generation, so Greenland 2026 may do the same for the right.

TBF though wasn't this pretty much a done deal that they inherited from the previous Tory Government?
I like Paul Emberys stuff. He has his views quite close to an awfy lot of folk.
Doesn't change the point. It's a UK move, Starmer is the one that has to face off to Trump.
I'd say real Labour. Though of course apparently real Labour is economics of having two blocks but each of the three children should get one block each and no child is a boy or girl until they decide their pronoun.
I agree in sentiment but I'm not sure it's true in practice. If enough of Labour become bourgeois bohos that aren't that fond of Britain or the plebs then I'm afraid that's what real Labour is now.
It was. A deal that was forced on the UK after losing court case after court case on sovereignty. A deal that was praised by Trump and Rubio. The money changing hands is to secure the use of the Diego Garcia airbase.
IIRC nothing compelled the UK to do anything.
The US view was never as clear cut as that, as I am surprised you don't know. Look to Trump's lieutenants fella, the man himself says whatever it suits him in the moment, and that has now caused problems for Starmer because our actions are not that different to his: that's the substantive point whatever Trump says today and changes tomorrow.
Giving Chagos to a country over a thousand miles away that has nothing to do with Chagos other than the British empire administered them from the same facilities in Mauritius, and doing so against the wishes of the islanders, is 'decolonisation', how?
Larger powers trading a smaller colony like a bargaining chip is the very definition of a colonial mentality I would have thought. That is what Trump seeks to do with Greenland, with the main difference being it's present 'owner' doesn't want to play.
Or disappointing to wake up and hear he is still alive
Embarrassing knowing he’s part “Scaddish” too.Or disappointing to wake up and hear he is still alive
I don’t get it, Falklands next….. Not that i care a lot about the “empire” getting smaller every year.. but whatever Starmer does doesn’t make sense either.
China next Stu, he's letting them build a massive embassy withs secret rooms.Apart from being shit scared to actually stand up to the USA (the Trump) bullying anyone and everyone apart from Russia who he is going with a softly softly bothers in arms charade
A 'secret room' not explained in plans (and the approving minister has not seen unredacted plans anyway) a mere meter away from main Internet cabling.Right beside a major data centre i hear.. what could possibly go wrong
British intelligence agencies have cleared it.... the politicians will follow their expertise I would thinkRight beside a major data centre i hear.. what could possibly go wrong
... while relocating their own cables in an enormously relaxed way.
