hago 12.5785T Labour condemns Polanski for not being committed to UK remaining in Nato Labour has responded to the election of Zack Polanski as the new Green party leader by attacking his stance on Nato. In a statement Ellie Reeves, the Labour chair, said: 44 Congratulations to Zack Polanski on his election as Green party leader. We are living through serious times and the public rightly expect responsible and measured responses from all political leaders. Zack Polanski must level with the British people as to whether he stands by his recent failure to support continued Nato membership, and what it means for his party’s stance on Putin’s appalling illegal war in Ukraine. The Labour government's commitment to Nato membership is unshakeable and always will be. In an interview with Byline Times in May, Polanski said that, although the Greens were formally committed to the UK remaining in Nato, he thought the election of Donald Trump as US president meant a rethink was needed. He said:
44 I think our Nato policy is out of date ... Clearly Nato has got a lot more complex since Donald Trump has become President, and I don’t think anyone should consider him a reliable ally ... I think the age of Nato is now fully over ... We voted at the last conference to maintain a relationship with Nato and reform it from within but I think we have reached a point where Donald Trump has made being in an alliance with America very, very difficult while he’s talking about annexing Greenland... We clearly need to be making sure that our policy is meeting the moment, and I think the world is changing quickly, and the idea that we can reform NATO by working with Donald Trump at the moment in a so-called special relationship is an idea that’s on its last legs.
Actually Labour, Zack was pointing out how Donald Trump is the one destroying NATO, he was merely suggesting we should prepare for that eventuality, the betrayal of us by the Americans.
But you keep sucking up to the Paedophile and bigot and see where that […]
