Is Starmer's Iran War Response Wrong? w/ Matthew Goodwin-Freeman | Political Frenemies #49

On this episode of Political Frenemies former Tory defence policy adviser Chris Newton and Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert are joined once again by Conservative commentator and councillor Matthew Goodwin-Freeman for a lively and occasionally combustible discussion on Britain’s response to the unfolding Iran War. The trio dive into how Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government have handled the crisis, weighing claims of caution against accusations of drift and indecision. They also dissect the political reactions across Westminster, from the positioning of Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey to the criticisms coming from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. Expect sharp disagreements, insider perspectives, and plenty of political sparring as the frenemies debate whether Britain’s response has been strategic restraint—or a missed moment on the world stage.Thumbnail Images:Israeli F-16s: IDF Spokesperson Unithttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Operation-Roaring-Lion-0018.jpgKeir Starmer: Number 10https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prime_Minister_Keir_Starmer_gives_a_statement_in_the_Middle-East_(55121027594).jpg
