Starmer won't be derailed from Ukraine plan, Rayner says, amid claims Trump's aid decision humiliated' PM UK politics live
Briefly

During a recent session in the Commons, Keir Starmer received widespread bipartisan praise for his leadership on Ukraine, focusing on uniting the U.S. and Europe in support of the country. However, his confrontations with Nigel Farage and Stephen Flynn highlighted tensions, especially as he mistakenly asserted that the U.S. would maintain its military aid. This was proved wrong when reports surfaced about Trump's meetings to potentially withdraw aid, creating alarm among Ukrainian supporters and prompting calls within the UK for a more critical stance on Trump's reliability regarding military assistance.
Starmer faced challenges during a Commons session, particularly from Farage and Flynn, yet was praised for his leadership on Ukraine, rallying support across Europe.
The recent news of Trump's intention to discuss withdrawing military aid to Ukraine indicates a significant shift, alarming many supporters and challenging Starmer's optimism.
