Trump seems to be unhappy with the UK
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. "That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer - But we will remember.
"We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"

With a 20 ship Navy they used to claim to be expeditionary force and hence a Great Power. Now has to be satisfied with Regional power title.

^^Type 45 apparently have some sderious issues:
Propulsion, Limited surface and ASW capabilities, low availability, expensive refits
So news now is that an Air Craft Carrier being prepared?? But Why nobody knows.
They already have air assets in Cyprus and Qatar.
Furthermore the AC needs Air defence ships(Type 45 struglling to go and support), ASW ships to accompany.
Labour are completel idiots and have surreded to peacefuls to get elected

Last Bye Election both Labour and Tories got shafted.
Greens won and Reform close second.
The elections were completely polarised.
Greens pamplet hsd Palestine, Netanyahu and NaMo on it pandering to a big population of Pakistan Peacefuls in the area.
This got Blue Collar Whites behind Reform.

Lots of howling from the public after Ramadan prayers were held during football matches .

Home office facing sharp criticism too after deciding to go after 4 countries for asylum seekers as their Baki minister did nothing about asylum seekers from her country of origin which provide majority of asylum seekers ,of which only 4% are ever deported back… additionally she wants to offer £40,000 to asylum seekers to go back to their country… claiming this is Danish model for prevention…

Recent videos of iftar at Westminster showed Palestinian ambassador whispering sweet nothings to the PM while he looked frozen as usual… this guy seems MMS of UK by comparison

Well fun part is the UK Stan carriers frequently operate with fewer than 24 jets,(operational number) with some previous deployments featuring significantly lower numbers, it would be like an ant trying to support a gorilla
