25:44Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump says he’s “very disappointed” in UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, but did Starmer really fall short on the world stage? Or did he put Britain’s national interest first by standing firm during a major Middle East crisis?
This week, global tensions escalated after Iran sending shockwaves through international politics. With the UK caught between Washington and Tehran, we break down what this moment means for UK foreign policy, Labour leadership, and Britain’s role in global security.
On this episode:
-Why Ruth thinks Starmer should have unleashed “fire and brimstone” in response to Iran
-How the legacy of the Iraq War is shaping Labour’s strategy on Iran
-The leaked National Security meetings and what they reveal about Starmer’s leadership style
-Has Starmer strengthened or weakened Britain’s position on the international stage?
-Is this a defining moment for Keir Starmer as Prime Minister? And will history judge his handling of the Iran crisis as cautious diplomacy or a political misstep?
