    Starmer could allow Trump use of British bases to attack Iran, says Harriet Harman

    Cliff Notes

    • Harriet Harman suggested that Sir Keir Starmer might permit Donald Trump to use British military bases for strikes on Iran, despite his opposition to the Iraq War legacy.
    • The Attorney General’s concerns over the legality of Israel’s actions could impact the UK’s level of support for US operations in the region.
    • Harman noted that it would be challenging for Starmer to acknowledge Trump’s trade deal while denying access to UK airbases.

    Starmer could allow Trump use of British bases to attack Iran, says Harriet Harman

    Sir Keir Starmer could end up allowing Donald Trump to use British bases to launch strikes on Iran, Harriet Harman has said.

    Speaking to Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Baroness Harman said this was despite the prime minister being part of a generation “shaped” by opposition to the Iraq War.

    Baroness Harman was solicitor general when Sir Tony Blair decided to take Britain to war in Iraq alongside the United States in 2003.

    She said the decisions made by Sir Tony would be “burning bright” in Sir Keir‘s mind.

    “He’s part of the political generation of the Labour Party that grew up, which was shaped by its opposition to what Tony Blair was doing in relation to Iraq,” Baroness Harman said.

    “So it would be a massive change for him.”

    Asked if the UK could end up giving permission for US aircraft to use British military bases on Cyprus and Diego Garcia, but not go any further than that, Baroness Harman said: “Exactly”.

    It has been reported on Thursday that Attorney General Richard Hermer has raised questions over whether Israel’s actions in Iran are lawful, potentially limiting what support he believes the UK could offer the US.

    Baroness Harman said that for Sir Keir, the “rules-based international order is the most important thing”.

    “If the attorney general says that the government can’t do something because it’s illegal, it can’t do it. So he’s in a very crucial position,” she added.

    But Baroness Harman said it would be difficult for Sir Keir to say “thank you for the trade deal” to Mr Trump and then deny the president’s use of the airbases.
