Whatever else you can say about Thatcher -- and it's a lot -- she could at least speak her mind and stand her ground.

Ehhh...The closest analog to the US removing Maduro actually probably happened when Thatcher was in office, Grenada.

That being said, it very much sounds to me like Starmer wasn't notified in advance, and I can't imagine that he'd make any strong statements without consulting with the Foreign Office, the US, and probably some other countries as well. Probably put together some kind of British position over the next several days, if I were to guess. He also said something more-or-less to that effect, that he'd need to communicate with the US and some other countries on the matter.
Finny thing is, I have a hunch Russia and China were notified in advance...
Nah, you are all right thanks. I'd rather have someone who takes a bit of time to make a decision than Margaret fucking Thatcher. What the fuck?
