I came across this post after the Polanski-Ukraine one -
As is often the case, this has a screenshot without useful context --
I need to do more checking , but if he's really so ignorant on Putin/Ukraine he wouldn't get my vote.
The same with Mélenchon in France .

At a press conference for foreign journalists in London on Tuesday, Polanski was asked whether he still stands by his past comparison of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. "As horrendous as Vladimir Putin is and as despicable as his crimes are, I've never seen him threaten genocide, and I've never seen him threaten to wipe up an entire civilization and I've never seen Keir Starmer saying we have a special relationship with Vladimir Putin – as we shouldn't – or that he's our ally, but we have with Donald Trump," he said.
"There was no condemnation from Keir Starmer that I saw about what he's threatening to do in Iran nor what is happening in Lebanon or Gaza. I think that's despicable. At this point, it's not that Donald Trump is more of a danger than Vladimir Putin but I think Keir Starmer's commitment to the so-called special relationship with Donald Trump is more of a danger to British people than what Vladimir Putin is doing in Ukraine, which is also vile and needs to stop."
