United Kingdom Latest News, United Kingdom Headlines

The US and UK are facing growing international criticism over a new security pact signed with Australia.

While they did not mention China, Aukus is being widely viewed as an effort to counter Beijing's influence in the contested South China Sea.Mr Johnson later told MPs that the agreement was "not intended to be adversarial" to China. Mr Johnson replied: "The United Kingdom remains determined to defend international law and that is the strong advice we would give to our friends across the world, and the strong advice that we would give to the government in Beijing."

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called France "a vital partner" and said Washington would still work "incredibly closely" with Paris."There are a range of partnerships that include the French and some partnerships that don't, and they have partnerships with other countries that don't include us," she said. "That is part of how global diplomacy works.

Global? 😂

Better than a Chinese one.

France is yet again taking its eye off the ball. The diesel deal is a kick in the teeth, but that’s what investment means, we are paying the French to deliver a couple of U.K. Nuclear Power stations as they are far more advanced in this as We + US are with nuclear sub tech.

My friends around the world think the deal is great. What world do you live in?

France offered Aus clockwork subs; UK/USA offered them nuclear powered subs.

“Global Backlash” 😂👏

Why does the BBC hate Britain

Give it a rest BBC….get back to impartial news

Why do you the BBC hate Great Britain so much?

Erm, France isn’t the world. Despite Brexit.

To the BBC, the “world” is the EU. Pathetic.

What global backlash? China and France as far as I can see.

Has there been a change of name to China Broadcasting Corporation, CBC?

Defund BBC.

“Global backlash” 🤔🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Misleading headline. China France and the EU object. No surprise there then.

Where’s the global backlash apart from china and france?

Typical BBC crap at reporting the news..always trying to make it..I bet Vanu Atu dont give a damn 1 way or the other . is now getting that the BBC really do not like the country that they are broadcasting in so why the hell is everybody supporting them with taxpayers money

'Global backlash' ... BBC really are the 5th column in this country.

“Global”

🇫🇷🇨🇳you mean?

Total bullshit

This is insane. What the absolute fuck is going on. Imagine even writing this.

By global backlash you mean China (it’s a good thing they are pissed), and France who lost a big contract. The BBC really does appear to hate the Uk…

Your bias is showing. Defund the BBC.

But......if we had included the French instead it would have been FUKUS..🤣🤣🤣

What a nonsensical post from a taxpayer funded BBC! very upset by this continuous attack the BBC wages on our national sovereignty and I’m an naturalised migrant from the commonwealth! Show some national pride or RishiSunak may need to close the funding

‘GLOBAL backlash’? You mention China and France - hardly surprising. So that’s 2 countries out of 193!!! ‘GLOBAL’ my a*s!!! Who write this crap? DefundTheBBC

No they don’t. Frenchies are a bit peeved, but no one really cares.

EU PR team

Global Who then

Hahaha. You’re really scraping the barrel now to support your socialist/communist ideals.

That deal is the right action to take to counter the dangers of China 🇨🇳 and others!

USA should pull out of Europe and let the All powerful EU protect the baltic stares and Ukraine.

Global ? Who else is upset except France and China ?

Good. Everything we do should be geared towards pissing France off.

'global' 😂 The EU like to play dirty, fine, let's play!

Global backlash? It’s China (anyone shocked?) and France (meh)…

A ludicrous headline. The Chinese and French don’t like it. That’s it.

NATO is dead and UK see that EU is going for own defence. This will be instead of NATO. 😂

‘Global backlash’ is just China and France!!! BBC typical bias from this nazi organisation!

How is that global?

Oh well never mind

And the BBC is meant to be a trusted news outlet. China and France is not a global backlash

So China & France? Big deal.

Good deal for USUKA.

Global Britain demonstrating it's poodle breed

Global? You mean France and China! C'mon BBC!?

This post brexit global domination is all going well for the UK then

Upsetting the French makes the deal worth doing alone lol

why should there be a war with China? What are they worried about we are democratic countries. Oh yes those little outdated men in the ruling authoritative totalitarian dictatorship don't like change

This was master stroke by Biden administration.

WHY THE TIMES CHOSE headline on question on “dragging us into a war with China” (Theresa May) SO,in her view China can do whatever they want,expand military, U.K./U.S/AUS must not do same, WE’RE entitled to do same, FOOLISH NOT TO, a war?, course not, just prudence! SkyNews

There’s no global backlash. Fire your editor.

China upset as this increases the naval assets against them in the Pacific. France upset as they lost out on a major defence spending contract. Not quite ‘global’ backlash. Day before the EU announced it was flexing its military muscles, which really means France and Germany.

“global backlash” China, the target of the pact, doesn’t like it and France lost a contract. Thats it. What ridiculous reporting

More pathetic reporting BBC. 'Global backlash' ? Read your own story for god's sake!

AUKUS deal may 'make Australia a target for a NUCLEAR strike'As part of a new three-way alliance with the UK and US, Australia will be given the technology to build at least eight nuclear-powered - but not nuclear armed - submarines 🙄 China is doing wonderful work, by Saber Rattling, they are making so-called Free World to spend more Money on USELESS weapon systems instead of human development, making countries like Australia, further damage their own society, while China is further improving lives of Chinese! What's the actual point in nukes. As soon as one is fired then it's literally the end of the world. US UK Russia China all have nukes pointing at one another. It makes no sense, everyone is dead if it goes off

Cold war echoes as Aukus alliance focuses on China deterrenceAnalysis: military alliance is more wide-ranging than Five Eyes agreement and may come to define future approach to Indo-Pacific security horrible How much control does China already have? Once set in motion this dangerous mindset will blossom to Cold war 2 with proxy wars in poorer SE Asian countries.

AUKUS submarine deal with sealed at the G7 summitThe meeting was the culmination of an 18-month plot by Mr Morrison to acquire nuclear submarine technology, and ended with Australia getting its hands on at least eight vessels. Repeat:'Our policy has been one of patience and restraint, as befits a peaceful and powerful nation.. not to be diverted from our central concerns by mere irritants and fanatics. But now further action is required-and it is under way; and these actions may only be the beginning' India, Oh Canada!, the EU should join; 1939 deja vu all over again, guess who is Adolf? Spend. Spend. Spend more money. 🙄

Martin Rowson on the Aukus military pact — cartoonThe US, UK and Australia are setting up a trilateral security partnership aimed at confronting China, which will include helping Australia to build nuclear-powered submarines This cartoonists art is repulsive. Everything I've ever seen by him is extremely ugly. Not only for the actual way he draws/paints, but also for where the inspiration for this art is coming from. Ive never seen him try to inspire hope, only throw shit all over everything. Meanwhile... Due to the classified nature of the work performed at Pine Gap, it is necessarily the case that relatively few people are briefed on its functions & very few are briefed on the most sensitive activities that are undertaken there. MartinRowson is always spot on
