Summary
In this video, we dive deep into Keir Starmer’s controversial approach to the Ukraine conflict. Starmer's War Games: Is it a tactic to distract from his failing domestic policies?
With the UK potentially sending troops to Ukraine, and the slow international response to bring an end to the war, Starmer’s political motivations come into question. Is he using the situation to shore up his flagging popularity, much like Margaret Thatcher used the Falklands War to turn around her career? We explore how the international stage is reacting, from Trump’s condemnation of Zelensky to Germany and Poland’s refusal to commit to Starmer’s peace force.
Amidst rising domestic issues—illegal boat crossings, cuts to winter fuel allowances, and a dissatisfied electorate—could Starmer be using Ukraine as a smokescreen to divert attention from his own record? We also examine the potential mineral deals and the missed opportunity for peace negotiations that could have ended the war long ago.
Join the debate as we analyze whether Starmer’s actions are truly about peace or political survival. Will the UK’s involvement in Ukraine change the course of his leadership, or is it just a game of political chess?

| 0:14.5 | But here's what's different about the Wright Report. I use news sources from the left like MSBC, and from the right, like Fox News. |
| 0:21.7 | I present that to you before I then make clear that I'm pivoting to my analysis and opinion of what to make of it all. |
| 0:27.4 | And that's important, separating facts and data from analysis and opinion. |
| 0:31.5 | In fact, that is exactly how a good intel officer does it. |

| 1:21.4 | And don't forget you can put your comments up. |
| 1:24.7 | Why do politicians of all parties, all of them, and all the mainstream newspapers and the mainstream |
| 1:32.2 | commentators, and of course the BBC, why do they love Zaneski, oh Zaneski, whatever his bloody |
