‘So Naïve’ for Starmer to Think Non-involvement In Iran Was an Option | Sir Grant Shapps

Mar 2, 2026 | “I cannot see why this isn't just a straightforward black-and-white decision that should have been made two days ago.”

The UK has a “human rights lawyer as prime minister who just seems to think that the world operates in a way that it clearly does not run”, says former defence secretary Grant Shapps.



US presidents are the puppeteers; UK prime ministers, the marionettes.

This Grant Shapps dude is so unimpressive. He’s trotting out the same ol’, same ol’ arguments which we are all sick of hearing.

It’s very strange to me that we as a nation are rushing to get involved in this war with Iran when we have hesitated so much and so long to help the Ukrainians fight the Russians. Could, perhaps, the fact that there was no oil and money involved help to solve the puzzle? — © Mark Alexander
