I’m always astonished by how few holidays people in the USA get. Also see maternity leave, sick pay, free healthcare etc.

I did. Starmer has initiated the coalition of the willing to support Ukraine so forging other alliances means coming out of that. NATO includes our nearest neighbours so where are these alternatives? They have to be significant military powers like Germany and France. Is it Russia or China?
