"I think it's pretty worrying that we've allowed ourselves to become so reliant on American interests, and that a lot of this depends on if Donald Trump is in a good mood or not."
"I do think Donald Trump is dangerous. I think Vladimir Putin has clearly done more. But then we can talk about Donald Trump's complicity or active enabling of [Benjamin] Netanyahu and the genocide in Gaza. None of these things are OK and I think it's not about comparing things."
"If we're not willing to have conversations about peace and diplomacy that part of those conversations look at everyone denuclearising then what are we doing here?"
Green party leader Zack Polanski called for the UK to consider expelling US forces from British military bases and to reduce reliance on American military cooperation. He advocated leaving NATO and spending less on American weapons as part of a wider dismantling of the UK–US defence relationship. He urged a genuine strategic defence review and a review of US bases on UK soil. He described Donald Trump as dangerous and criticised Trump’s enabling of Israel regarding Gaza. He said the UK should give up nuclear weapons and seek wider denuclearisation through diplomacy. Keir Starmer seeks to placate the US president amid threats to invade Greenland and impose tariffs.
