I think that this time Starmer really is in-between a rock and a hard place. There can be no sitting on the fence for this issue.
In many ways that aspect is a benefit as I've been getting very frustrated about UK being demeaned and our leadership going back to bully to just encourage the bullying. Allow US to isolate itself, it will impact our economy but we could have spent our time improving trade relations with others but Starmer chose to sycophantise Trúmp instead.

That is too subtle. He has to choose whether the UK supports the US taking Greenland, or stands up to the US.
There is no fence.
 
I wonder how long before Disney actually starts removing the offending lines from the films themselves...

Hardly 'combative', but probably the correct tone. And he didn't wait a day or two to check on McSweeney's polling on it.

I suspect there's been a lot of European diplomacy going on, to co-ordinate responses (to a degree).

It's a pity that we can't access Cake Stop, as I'd like to have gone back and checked posts that referenced the EU's part in helping maintain peace within the EU, and how the idea was pooh-poohed by some. This is actually one of the things that the EU can do pretty well, not least as the EU is a decent lightning rod that can get sensible heads together effectively in crisis, and a signifier of shared values in many spheres. I'm extremely grateful at this moment in particular it hasn't fractured, as some would still like it to do.

Reflecting on Starmer's behaviour were news to report Starmer's flying to meet Trúmp to commit UK military to his invasion, it probably wouldn't surprise me. He hasn't and probably won't but he's so "Yes Donald ..." and so ready to kiss the ring I do really wonder what he'll do now (given his entire strategy to this point has proven completely ineffective).

Not this time. I guess a red line has been drawn, and reached.
