Britain’s Ministry of Defence said it had provided military help to the US forces that seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker north-west of Britain and Ireland, initially arguing the operation was legal because the vessel had breached US sanctions on Iran.
John Healey, the defence secretary, said the UK had allowed US aircraft to use bases to prepare for and carry out the mission, while the RAF had provided extra surveillance and the navy refuelling while the final capture was under way.

We kinda try to sit on both chairs. Short-term, we don’t want to piss off the US, but long term, we know we should get closer to EU. weird times.
It’s the nation equivalent of “How do I leave my psychopathic abusive partner without upsetting them too much”.
Unfortunately, yes.
You move, quickly, while they’re asleep. Maybe we could go and hide in the South Pacific somewhere.
