Sir Keir Starmer has said the country needs “seriousness, not political games” as he reflected on how the conflict in Iran is affecting people in the UK.
It comes as Donald Trump further criticised the prime minister on Truth Social (see 21:10 post) over his response to the Iran conflict, saying: “We don’t need people that join wars after we’ve already won!”
Writing in the Sunday Mirror, the prime minister said: “While opposition parties seek to undermine Britain on the world stage, my Labour government is focused on protecting British people at home and abroad.”
Sir Tony Blair is also reported to have weighed in, saying at a private event that he believes the UK should have supported Trump immediately.
“I am not saying anything that I haven’t already said to the government … I think we should have backed America from the very beginning,” the former Labour prime minister said at an event hosted by Jewish News, according to the Daily Mail.
