STARMER'S UKRAINE GAMBLE: British Troops Face Risk While Veterans Face Persecution

Labour PM refuses to clarify rules of engagement while using European courts to prosecute British veterans

While Sir Keir Starmer talks up sending thousands of our brave British troops into Ukraine's danger zone for as long as it takes, he’s refusing to talk about what they are to do when the shooting starts.

This from a government that continues to hound our veterans through European laws.

The Labour PM is ready to commit up to 30,000 multinational forces — including British servicemen and women — to a so-called "peacekeeping mission" that could last for years.

But here's what should alarm every patriotic Brit: Starmer won't even confirm if our troops would be allowed to defend themselves against Russian attacks.

Even more worrying, this comes from the same government that's using the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to drag our Northern Ireland veterans through the courts.

The question on everyone's lips: Will our peacekeepers face the same treatment if they're forced to pull the trigger?

While Starmer plays politics with our military, he's hiding behind the Americans, saying he won't send troops without US backing. Meanwhile, President Trump - who's actually talking directly with Putin - hasn't given any guarantees.

The French President Macron, in typical EU fashion, is already making provocative statements about Russia having "no say" in the matter. But it's our British troops who could end up in the firing line.

As defence chiefs prepare to meet in London, British families deserve answers: How can we trust a government that prosecutes our veterans to protect our peacekeepers? And why is Starmer so keen to put British boots on the ground in Eastern Europe while our own veterans face persecution at home?

This isn't just about Ukraine anymore. It's about how we treat the brave men and women who serve our country — past, present and future.
