Starmer’s spineless, bootlicking, hypocritical response to the latest US-Israeli attack on Iran demonstrates the tightrope he walks in British and world politics. We say: Hands off Iran! No to imperialist war! Starmer out! Down with their rotten system!

The United States and Israel have launched war on Iran which threatens to spiral out of control. The blame for this is entirely upon American imperialism and its allies. Communists are clear: Hands Off Iran – Down with western imperialism.

Sir Keir Starmer thought he had a deal worked out to give the Chagos Islands ‘back’, in the interests of British and US imperialism. Donald Trump however had other ideas. Starmer faces humiliation, and the whole fiasco reveals where Britain really stands in the world.
