Starmer will try to blame Conservatives for the defence mess he has created on his watch. Rubbish.
In January 2024, Conservatives approved upgrades to Type 45 destroyers including HMS Dragon.
In July 2024, Labour paused those upgrades.
We led the world in the defence of Ukraine. Conservatives never had the humiliation of a warship stuck in port for weeks, then forced to turn back with faults.
That's on Starmer. That's on Labour. And that's why they can't be trusted.
Instead of blaming Conservatives he should approve the upgrades now.
Vance: Viktor Orban is a great guy with a transformational legacy in Hungary.
We backed him not because we expected him to win, but because he stood up to Brussels, protected US interests, and stood by the United States for a long time.
Trump tells ABC News there’ll be a joint U.S.–Iran venture charging tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz:
“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it, also securing it from lots of other people. It’s a beautiful thing”
Unbelievable
When it comes to defence, Keir Starmer is all talk and no trousers.
The Defence Investment Plan is nine months late. We literally have no plan for rearming our country - no plan for our equipment and munitions purchases.
This is a national scandal.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that Donald Trump's ceasefire made clear that he accomplished none of his objectives in Iran. Woah.
The United States of America will withdraw over 100,000 U.S. troops from Europe and halt its annual defense spending of trillions of dollars.
Do you support Rubio on this?
A. Yes B. No
@DailyNoahNews Great - being an ally is a liability - so get out
Oh and Europe pay more into NATO than USA and we will buy and make our own weapons
Goodnight
@BloombergTV Shipping will be allowed through but not USA of Isreal. Now what trump ? You do use this route for 7% of your oil; not insignificant. You have been trumped by Iran and the rest of the world
"I’m particularly disappointed in the United Kingdom... I think Keir Starmer has fumbled in ways that are not reflective of the deep and abiding ties between the American people and the people of the UK," says Former US Vice President Mike Pence over the country's response to the Iran War bloom.bg/4sP7hEb
@BloombergTV Smart man, Pence. Vast numbers of the British public are embarrassed by the actions of our Prime Minister and hope normal relations with the US can be resumed once he is gone.
@BloombergTV Sir Keir Starmer has shown brilliant composed calm leadership - something the yanks have forgotten. A true friend does not take part in a crime because he is asked to. He tries to talk him out of it, but Trump is plain stupid. We like America but not Trump
"We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the DOD have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."
- Mike Johnson says there’s no need to constrain Trump’s war powers since the U.S. isn’t actually at war. (Mar. 2026)
BREAKING: The Israeli military said it detected Iranian missile launches, shortly after US President Trump concluded his address, in which he claimed that Iran’s military capabilities have been all‑but crushed.
