Basically what’s at stake is potentially the relationship with Canada, following Starmer’s sell out last time he was in America. UKs trade deal with the US, which let’s face it, looks like a lot of hot air. The annoyance of the Americans at U.K. for sanctioning Israel and finally the Aukus submarine deal with US and Australia.
Given how fence sitting weak Starmer appears to be, it’ll be interesting to see which minefield he avoids and which he doesn’t.
Personally, I hope the Submarine deal collapses and U.K. and Australia seek a partnership with a non authoritarian country such as France. The faster we move away from America militarily the better.
Trade Deal? Forget it. There won’t be one without punitive terms that compromise the U.K. so tell them to get stuffed.
US hostility to U.K. sanctioning Israel? Tough. They shouldn’t be stealing land that isn’t theirs. Support against Iran and the latter’s desire to acquire nuclear weapons? I’m for that given what an appallingly dangerous regime Iran has.
Lastly the most important bit of all. Canada. Starmer should be backing Canada to the hilt including offering defence, albeit token given the hollowed out military, against US aggression.
I’m of course no politician. Never could be in a million years so I’m not qualified to judge anything much, but is Starmer capable of negotiating this conference with outcomes he wants? I hope so, but have my doubts. |  | | |  |

US were supposedly going to lease Australia nuclear attack submarines while UK/AUS built new ones.
There isn’t a signed, sealed & delivered trade deal between UK & US and doubt there will be.
As for Starmer he sits on so many fences doubt he can sit in a chair without a couple of cushions.
I would love to see a military exercise in Greenland involving Joint Expeditionary Force & Canada.
Starmer will look to avoid any outcome he doesn’t want . |  |

So far Starmer has a pretty good track record in relations with other countries so it will all work out. Other leaders seem to like him and happy to discuss terms etc. |  |
