PM appears to draw comparison between Russian and US leaders’ actions and calls for plan to restore Hormuz strait shipping
Keir Starmer has said he is “fed up” with the effect that Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East are having on the British public, while appearing to draw a comparison between the US president and Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to ITV’s Robert Peston on Thursday, the prime minister said: “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses’ bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”
Starmer, who has been heavily criticised, and at times mocked, by Trump for not committing British forces to the war on Iran, also appeared to condemn Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s continued strikes on Lebanon, despite Iran calling for Lebanon to be included in the ceasefire that was agreed on 7 April.
What are you talking about? Half the British rich live in Spain
I mean that no one cares about what has to say on international level. The only Spaniard holding any significant position in EU is Teresa Ribera. Spain is consistently skipped when handing out important offices. All calls from Spain to sanction Israel are simply ignored. It’s opposition to Trump also doesn’t lead to any actual influence on EU policy. It’s sad but Spain is not sitting at the main table in EU.
No idea what rich British living in Spain have to do with any of it.
