In this post, a user cherrypicks parts of a speech to push a specific agenda.
And still I see no changes

so what is the misrepresentation? the bits you quoted show exactly how this fucker is lying through his teeth.
this is ridiculous:
We very much welcome the MoU reached in June between the US and Iran and the US condemns in the strongest terms the unjustified attacks by Iran since then on shipping and indeed on our Gulf partners.
the US and israel started this shit, they kept hitting iran while the supposed MoU was in effect, what the fuck is this fascist piece of shit talking about unjustified attacks by iran for?
this is absurd too, a deliberate falsification of history:
as they defend themselves against Russia’s unprovoked and premeditated aggression.
is there some part that’s missing where he condemns the US and israel for their genocidal aggression? no? is the UK gonna stop the US from using its bases to bomb iran? so what’s the misrepresentation?

Declassified UK, now known as “a user”

You’re the user, but yes Declassified UK is the one who misrepresented the whole thing. Per my edit above.
At least their post included a link to the speech, so readers could decide for themselves.

Did anyone expect foreign policy changes? Burnham has only really talked about domestic policies which seems to be his focus.

He said Starmer made large mistakes on foreign policy but sure just blatantly lie.
DrCake@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
He’s also signalled he will spend much less time on foreign affairs compared to Starmer. That to me does not mean the mistakes will be undone

He’s no countryman. He’s a cabal man.
