UPDATE: Starmer announces RAF to send four more Typhoons to Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar. The first charter flight to evacuate British citizens took off from Oman this afternoon. He also admitted he hasn’t spoken to Donald Trump since Saturday…
Starmer said online:
“I know that the situation in the Middle East is worrying for people across the UK and in the region… I’ll be giving an update on the action we continue to take to protect lives and bring British nationals back home.”
An attempt to wrest back some narrative control…
Burnham spinning like a wheel in the Commons:
“I will very much say so on the record… It was legitimate. I have always respected the result. I have never questioned its legitimacy. But I am within my rights to point out where foreign actors are looking to interfere in British democracy.”
