Breaking: Keir Starmer gives a masterclass in bullshittery when asked to explain the Legal Basis and International Law aspect of action in Iran..... Watch the face of this allegedly high-flying barrister get redder, ummm ermmm..

BREAKING: PM confirms the UK was aware of US-Iran talks after Trump confirms pause on missile strikes 'I welcome the talks reported between the US and Iran' 'We, the UK were aware that that was happening, and the immediate priority has to be a swift resolution of the conflict'

Keir Starmer snaps at Tory MP Bernard Jenkin for suggesting his approach to defence "smacks of enormous complacency" "This smacks of the fact that for years there was underinvestment by the last Government... honestly, 14 years of underinvestment"

Strongest words yet from Keir Starmer on UK role in Iran conflict: "This is not our war, and we are not getting dragged into this war."

Surreal arrogance. Conservative MP Bernard Jenkins is complaining about our armed forces being under resourced when it was his Conservative government that cut defence spending by 25% in real terms over 14 years! Bernard Jenkin, "It sounds as though you are at peace while we are at war" Keir Starmer, "With respect, I'm clearing up the mess left by the last government" Bernard Jenkin, "I dare say Winston Churchill had a mess to clear up from the previous government" "Margaret Thatcher had a mess to clear up from the previous government" "Why were we so unready to defend Cyprus?" Keir Starmer, "We've got a lot of defensive capability in Cyprus, as you know" Bernard Jenkin, "We couldn't even stop a 150mph drone from hitting a base in Cyprus, that means we were unprepared" "This smacks of a lack of war fighting mentality" Keir Starmer, "We are finalising the defence plan" Bernard Jenkin, "This smacks of enormous complacency" Keir Starmer, "This smacks of the fact that for years there was under investment by the last Conservative government and the hollowing out of our armed forces" Bernard Jenkin, "You've had 18 months to deal with that" Keir Starmer, "14 years of underinvestment. We're picking up from the underinvestment of your government"
