Starmer’s latest Press conference 10:30am today

I'm glad Starmer isn't allowing Trump to bully him into joining in with this unplanned illegal war.

I'm glad he stood up to Trump. I expect we'll all have tariffs on us now from that odious man.

Not drawn into a wider war. Yes.

Starmer may be 'boring' but this is just what we need just now.
Protecting British assets. Yes.
Not a NATO project. Yes.

Thought the stupid questions about Mandelson were totally misplaced and inappropriately timed.

That’s reporters for you and Starmer answered them.

Will catch up with the speech later. But agree generally that so far Starmer has displayed the kind of statesmanship that is sadly missing across the pond.

Need to find this. Would it be on a catch up?

It’s just finished and was on the BBC news channel (that’s what’s it’s called on Virgin Media, but I’m sure you’ll find this channel on Sky and Freeview)

He gave plenty of time for many questions and now it’s being analysed.

BBC News is 231 on Freeview, it will probably be repeated throughout the day.

Sorry to respond not having heard the speech. You’re describing the PM I expected Starmer to be

Me too, but this hasn’t always happened and I just think his stance and communication now is bang on, I just wish it hadn’t taken a war to bring this Starmer out. I’m impressed.

'deference' or 'defence' ?

BBC News website has set out what Starmer said in his 10.30 speech in the live section...plus there already is a Youtube video

He continues with his message that he will not commit the lives of UK service men till there is a well thought out plan etc- fair and sensible. Pleased to see Starmer is meeting with Carney and Zelinski- and that he said Putin must not be allowed to continue to benefit from this excursion. He said and there will need to be a plan to keep the shipping channel open 'after the conflict' and that he is working on a proposal plan with another ally...
