It's not like anybody expected Starmer to show some backbone and call Trump a racist, authoritarian , warmongering dick

Starmer has been ramping up on domestic and European defence spending

In complete accordance with the USA's orders? These were the USA's orders to the UK. https://www.war.gov/News/Speeches/Speech/Article/4064113/opening-remarks-by-secretary-of-defense-pete-hegseth-at-ukraine-defense-contact/

Is anything Starmer has done in conflict with these orders? Has he done anything that makes it harder or impossible to follow these orders in the future that shows that he's disregarding them? Otherwise, the specific examples you gave are in line with following the USA's orders so far.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
