"But the words coming from the White House are completely wrong. I think it's actually quite childish. There is a lot that can be said behind closed doors. We have got President Zelenskyy in our country today. The western alliance having an argument with itself, I think, sends the wrong signal to our opponents, in Iran or in Russia."
"We need to be strengthening between the UK and the US, irrespective of who is president and who is prime minister. But I think those words coming from the White House were childish."
"I stood with our allies in the US and Israel as they take on the threat of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its vile regime."
Kemi Badenoch, Conservative leader, publicly rebuked Donald Trump for his repeated criticisms of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling Trump's words childish and counterproductive. Badenoch emphasized that while she is Starmer's biggest critic, internal disagreements within the Western alliance send the wrong signal to opponents like Iran and Russia. She stressed the importance of strengthening UK-US relations regardless of individual leaders. This represents a significant change from Badenoch's earlier stance, when she criticized Starmer for not allowing US military use of UK bases during the Iran conflict. Her evolving position appears influenced by polling showing British voters largely oppose increased UK involvement in military action against Iran.
