      He’s also signalled he will spend much less time on foreign affairs compared to Starmer. That to me does not mean the mistakes will be undone

        So you’re saying he said he’s intentionally going to keep making the same mistakes?

        And do you think a PM can just decide to “not deal with foreign policy” or something? That’s not how any of this works.

          Much less time

          Does not mean no time, but that it will not be the focus so most of the energy and time will be on domestic matters. He might make some changes, not being as friendly to Isreal is probably what will happen. But he isn’t going to suddenly change 180 to what has been policy for the last 2 years.

          IWhat I’m trying to get at is that if you expect him to cancel arms deals with Isreal and provide aid to Gaza, then you will be disappointed.
