#BorisJohnson makes warning about national security: is he having a laugh? #KeirStarmer #Yemen
Boris Johnson and Evgeny Lebedev: the UK’s Foreign Secretary (at the time) has partied with a former KGB agent. What right does he think he has to say anybody else is a security risk?
Boris Johnson is calling the Labour Party, and particularly Keir Starmer, a national security risk at a time of aggression with Yemen:

As you can hear on the clip, Johnson has written an article in the Heil.
If you don’t want to visit that rag’s website (and who could blame you?) then Zelo Street has analysed it as follows:
Thus the headline “Sir Keir voted to ditch our alliance with the Saudis, which would have allowed Houthi rebels to wreak even more destruction… Starmer needs to tell us why on earth we should trust Labour with our security”. As usual, you have no need to read the supporting article, with the usual Bozo rambling stream of consciousness, as you’ve been told what to think.
But here’s a hint or two of Tedious Maximus in full-ish flow: “Well, the Houthis had it coming. We had no choice but to act … Of course, there will be qualms. People in Britain will be anxious for what follows. But the lesson is clear. You cannot turn your back on a region. You cannot just disengage from problems and hope that they will not affect you in the future”.
Like, oh I dunno, Afghanistan, perhaps? But do go on. “The spate of Houthi attacks on shipping, if it continues, has the potential to do incalculable damage to the world economy – and to the UK … There was … intensified pressure on the UK government to rescind the historic agreements between Britain and Saudi Arabia – signed under Margaret Thatcher – and stop the flow of arms and military support to Riyadh”. Getting to the point yet?
“One evening, October 26, 2016, all five opposition parties voted to stop supporting the Saudis and to end the military relationship … Look at those MPs who voted in 2016 to axe the UK-Saudi relationship, and let the Houthis get on with it. There’s Yvette Cooper, and Emily Thornberry, and oh yes, of course, there’s the member for Holborn and St Pancras, Sir Keir Starmer”.
Nearly there. “He was totally wrong. He was voting against the interests of the UK’s long-term partners, and effectively in favour of the Houthis … He should explain. He should also explain why on earth we should trust Labour with our security”. Boris Johnson calls security risk on someone else. Ri-i-i-ight.
But Keir Starmer supported the airstrikes on the Houthi. That fact alone undermines Johnson’s entire argument. And then we have to consider Johnson’s own record:
Here’s the Guardian, from 2019: “A trip Boris Johnson made to Italy for a party held by a billionaire socialite ended with the then foreign secretary at an airport ‘looking like he had slept in his clothes’, struggling to walk in a straight line and telling other passengers he had had a heavy night”.
And where had Bozo been, allegedly without his security detail? Palazzo Terranova, owned by Yevgeny Lebedev, son of a “former” KGB officer. Except that you never leave the KGB, or its successor agency, the FSB. As John Sweeney spelt it out in a video [HERE], UK security agencies were not happy.
So Boris Johnson, because of his private life, was a security risk. And may still be one:
Not surprised at all.
Quite a few more names to add to the list, too. https://t.co/EMbZvkjAQy— Dame KnittingCat FBPE🇪🇺🇫🇷🏴🫖🧶 (@KnittedKittie) January 13, 2024
Pot, kettle, black? No – it’s worse than that, because Boris Johnson has held a position of power in the UK and may have used it to benefit his Russian friends, as far as we know.
He’s in no position to warn of what might happen if the UK electorate forget Starmer’s support of genocide (which Johnson also, tacitly, supports by supporting the airstrikes against Yemen). He has already been in a position to do what he’s warning Starmer may.

This whole post is muddled.
Let the Boris speak, he may reveal much about the thinking within his circle.
As for Sir Keir, he deserves as much abuse as possible.
Vote Tory and get Zionist expansion.
Vote Sir Keir and get Zionist expansion, and the continuing slaughter of Palestians.
What’s muddled about it?
A national security liability like Boris Johnson is not a good person to call someone else a national security liability.
It’s really simple.
