@Eyeswideopen69 @iskibar14 He had no choice as to his place of birth or where he was schooled. Thankfully he is one of only a handful of politicians who is standing up to the career politician that infests the government and is highlighting the pollution coming over from France.

EXCL: Keir Starmer has become first UK PM to be presented with Légion d’honneur by French president, in recognition of his work on security of Europe. Emmanuel Macron awarded the historic honour to Starmer for his l'ship in setting up coalition of the willing at a critical moment for the continent in early 2025. Only other British PM to receive a similar award – at a higher level, the Grand-Croix of the Légion d’honneur – was Winston Churchill in 1958 in recognition of his leadership during the second world war. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Historic moments in Paris for Bastille Day: The Grenadier Guards march down the Champs-Élysées alongside the French Garde Républicaine, watched by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European allies. A powerful display of Franco-British cooperation. 🇬🇧🇫🇷 #14Juillet #BastilleDay
