Badenoch
says Trump's comment about record of Nato allies in Afghanistan 'flat-out
nonsense'
Kemi
Badenoch has joined those condemning Donald Trump’s comment about the record of
Nato allies in Afghanistan. Within the last few minutes she posted this on
social media.
Trump
saying NATO allies “weren’t on the front line” in Afghanistan is flat-out
nonsense. British, Canadian, and NATO troops fought and died alongside the US
for 20 years.
This is a
fact, not opinion. Their sacrifice deserves respect not denigration.

'Makes my
flesh creep and my stomach turn' - Simon Hoare MP on Trump
And here
are two Conservative MPs on Donald Trump’s comments about the record of Nato
allies in Afghanistan.
From
Simon Hoare, chair of the Commons public administration and constitutional
affairs committee
Frankly
Trump makes my flesh creep and my stomach turn. Where are his advisors? Where
is his nurse? Where is his sense of shame?
From Ben
Spencer, a shadow science minister
The US
president has gone from insulting and threatening NATO allies to insulting and
demeaning the brave men and women of our armed forces.
457
British service personnel died in Afghanistan, with UK troops having served
alongside US troops and those from over 50 coalition nations. We will always
remember them.
In a
country renowned for its respect for service men and women, it is astounding
and shameful that the US President to show such contempt for the service of
others.
We have
to question the strength of any relationship, special or otherwise, with
someone who could treat their sacrifice with such disrespect.
From Ben
Obese-Jecty, a former soldier
I served
in Afghanistan. I saw first hand the sacrifices made by British soldiers I
served alongside in Sangin where we suffered horrific casualties, as did the US
Marines the following year.
I don’t
believe US military personnel share the view of President Trump; his words do
them a disservice as our closest military allies. I
It’s sad
to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our NATO partners, held so cheaply
by the President of the United States.

'Beneath
contempt and beyond offensive' - Sorcha Eastwood MP on Trump
This is
from Sorcha Eastwood, the Alliance MP for LaganValley in Northern Ireland, on
Trump’s latest comments.
Any
elected rep in Northern Ireland or the rest of the UK that continues to
champion Trump and claims to care about the UK after his shameful and
disgusting remarks about our military service needs to do one. Over 400 UK
service personnel lost their lives in recent times in Afghanistan. Many more
lost limbs, eyesight, mental wellbeing. You don’t get to write-off those lives,
that service and those families Trump. Absolutely beneath contempt and beyond
offensive.
