Vladimir Putin’s attack dogs have turned on Britain after Sir Keir Starmer vowed to increase annual defence spending to a level last seen after the Cold War. On the eve of his departure to meet Donald Trump in Washington,

Sir Keir Starmer is set to face PMQs after his shock announcement to increase the UK’s defence spending to 2.5 per cent, ahead of a meeting with Donald Trump in Washington DC. Defence secretary John Healey has insisted that the US president’s demands are not the sole reason for the increase,

Sir Keir Starmer has insisted that Russia has a weak hand in talks to end the Ukraine war and could be pushed into making concessions.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has accused Nigel Farage of “fawning over Putin” because Reform MPs failed to appear at a Commons debate about Ukraine. He said: “ Nigel Farage didn’t turn up to the debate in Parliament today. Nigel Farage is fawning over Putin. That’s not patriotism."

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said Ukraine’s allies must ‘keep dialling up the economic pressure’ on Vladimir Putin.

Keir Starmer is flying out to Washington for a meeting with Donald Trump on Wednesday, the day after announcing a boost in UK defence spending while cutting foreign aid.

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson also hit back over criticism of his party colleagues during a war of words with the SNP’s Stephen Flynn.

The announced increase — valued at just shy of $17 billion per year — is above NATO’s recommendation that its members spend 2% of GDP on defense.

Sir Keir Starmer has imposed further sanctions on Russia in an attempt to force Vladimir Putin “not just to talk, but to make concessions”.
