@forse The crucial relationship is UK as a client state of the US (occasional theatrical spats for domestic audience).The Israel lobby pays to influence, but doesn't have US clout.The UK Israel lobby selected Starmer, presumably with US approval, to evict the left.Israel is also a client state of the US. Israel has little power without US weapons. While Netanyahu has his own agenda, he can't run it without US approval. He has to hasbara Trump into approving.
