Thatcher's fortunes were turned around by her leadership around the Falklands and I think the country also liked the way she took a leading role in the Cold War alongside Reagan.
Are people feeling better disposed towards Starmer following his international performances over the last week?

On the opposite end of the spectrum Farage has just upended any hopes he ever had of being PM, no one is going to trust him with the countries security. |  | | |

I think Starmer has dealt with things well, in a calm, credible manner. He has seemingly navigated through the tensions between Trump and Zelenski with an impressive maturity. This certainly could improve his poll ratings.
But, despite what many think of Trump, he has set the ball rolling to end this war, only a few weeks / months into his presidency. If the war stops, (through bad intentions or not), then the deaths stop - that's a good thing, achieved by Trump, something no other leader could manage. Trump has certainly got the other world leaders off their assess to do something about stopping this war, and quickly. [Post edited 3 Mar 17:34]

Well at least then he'll get the Nobel Peace Prize he's supposedly after! As well as a few trillion dollars woth of Ukrainian minerals no doubt!
But if it does stop the war then it has to be a price to pay, although can we trust Putin to pi55 off and stop playing silly bug gers elsewhere as his standing in Russia (depending on what's in it for him) may go down a few grades |  | | |

Something something Russia wants to take over the word, NATO had nothing to do with the current war, don’t question who’s been buying up Ukrainian farmland, send your kids to fight for a country ranked 105th in Global Corruption index using WW2 as the blueprint (only 100m deaths) this time with nuclear weapons, don’t focus on China…
Approval rating up? |  | | |

Everyone wants the war to stop, however you dont rollover and allow Putin to invade Ukraine and let him get away with it. Fanta Fuhrer wants a ceasefire solely because he wants to due financial business with russia. Trump is only interested in money and when Russia invaded ukraine he said Putin was 'genius'. |  | | |

Not everyone wants this war to stop! And every US president heretofore, Biden and Trump, wanted [or wants] money out of it - to suggest Trump is an outlier is absurd. | | | |

Fools like you and Trump see no value in democracy and no danger in appeasing homicidal psychopathic imperialists like Putin.
As if the last 100 years of European history has taught you nothing.
Russia propaganda has infiltrated to the heart of US politics and particularly MAGA and its take over of the Republican Party.
Thankfully it's reached only a few crackpots here: Bev Turner on GB News referring to the invasion as Russian's 'special military operation'. WTF!? Lord Haw-Haw eat your f*cking heart out. | |

No doubt Starmer will land himself a lucrative job on the international stage once he’s done with being PM but his attacks on working people and his continued belief on growth and the free markets solving everything will be his legacy. Add to that his total silence on the genocide in Gaza and his purge on free speech within the Labour Party and on wider issues he’s up there with Blair and his mate Mandelson. Deep down they hate the traditional left more than the right. |  |

Yet you, in the first sentence, seem to equate Ukraine and Democracy in the same breathe. Yet i’m the fool!
If you think this war is a fight for democracy then you’re long ago lost. We can only hope the Blairite war-mongering ‘coalition of the willing’ Labour party doesn’t send our lot in.
I do find it odd that the reasons for this war are so well understood and accepted within academia, but within the general public and the BBC, and through major politicians, Tory and Labour, it’s alien. In its place is a dichotomy of good vs evil. Much like the populist ideal of the “pure people” vs the “corrupt elite”, this time in foreign affairs. [Post edited 3 Mar 23:33]

Great discussion, Ian. Great points made. Calling me a fool and equating me with people I dislike almost made me change my mind. Alas, no. | | | |
