David Cameron is currently in the States, urging politicians there to back support for Ukraine. Currently Washington DC is ensuring a stalemate over £75 billion of aid for Kyiv’s struggle against their Russian invaders. The Foreign Secretary used an article in the DC website the Hill to urge Congress to support Ukraine with more funding. He wrote:

I believe our joint history shows the folly of giving in to tyrants in Europe who believe in redrawing boundaries by force. I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s. He came back for more, costing us far more lives to stop his aggression.

But his comments have tonight prompted an angry reaction from Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch member of the House of Representatives from the Donald Trump-supporting MAGA wing of the GOP Taylor Greene was confronted by James Matthews of Sky News, who characterised Cameron’s comments as likening her ‘to an appeaser to Hitler in not voting for funding to Ukraine.
