Having Jeremy Corbyn as an opponent certainly helped, plus it's the UK, not USA! USA! USA! Here's to Keir Starmer trying to drag Labour back to sanity. The UK needs two plausible governing parties too, and much as I like the Libdems, I don't seem them clawing back to the electoral glory days of 2007 - 2010.
Going to Kyiv is not a profile in physical courage to match with Mitterand's photo-op in Sarajevo *while the Serbs were shelling the city*, but OTOH the Johnson government is in fact providing lethal aid, whereas Mitterand kept the arms embargo in place. Obviously a civil war is a rather different thing than a clear invasion, but still.
