Given Sir Kier Starmer regards himself as New Labour and it was Tony Blair that got us into the illegal wars of Iraq and Afghanistan to please the Republican Americans, then yes I expect he might get us into another illegal war (e.g. Iran) to please the Republicans.
Reminds of when UK regulator blocked Microsoft from buying Activision.
It was suggested by some that Microsoft has lots of power of UK and can threaten to pull out of UK and disable every single Windows PC and server in UK and destroy data belonging to UK businesses held in Azure, etc.
Shame it didn't happen, would have loved the reaction from Macron/French/EU given their hatred of US big tech.
Ah thought you meant Brexit agreement compelled UK to copy new EU laws. UK politicians (both Conservative and Labour) love to look around world to copy any regulation targetting business, especially ones targetting tech and online censorship, not far off actual copying China's great firewall...
No I mean more the fact that Britain seems to have left the EU at least in part because they didn't want to deal with EU regulation superseding what the UK wanted...
...and then proceeded to basically copy every EU regulation. Whatever one's take is on EU regulation, it's just odd to me to do that because you basically lose the upside of the EU while keeping the downside.
