In a recent speech at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet, UK opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the necessity of maintaining robust alliances with both the US and the EU. He criticized the Conservative government for distancing the UK from its allies and reiterated the importance of supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. Starmer invoked historical figures like Clement Attlee and Winston Churchill, arguing that national security underpins economic growth and stability. He vowed to strengthen the UK’s position on the world stage, dismissing the notion of having to choose between the US and Europe.
