Starmer has been very impressive in the last 48 hrs - calm and decisive, convening effectively and getting an agreed plan. It felt that Britain was back in its old role of leadership on European security. Many pitfalls between here and lasting peace. But crisis has become opportunity. Bravo team UK!

If @cafreeland.bsky.social meant to push #PMJT out , she should have made a public statement and taken questions by now. So either she still isn't demonstrating sharp politcal instincts or did not intend to force #PMJT out. She stuck the knife in but didn't turn it. #cndpoli
