Lord Patten calls on Starmer to condemn 'sham' sentencing of 45 Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigners
Monday, 18 November 2024 Lord Patten, the last governor of Hong Kong, has called on the British government to condemn the "sham" sentencing of 45 Hong Kong politicians and activists as Sir Keir Starmer holds talks with the Chinese president.
Answering a question from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, the prime minister says the minerals deal between the US and Ukraine is "not enough" of a security guarantee on its own. Sir Keir Starmer goes on to say, “can I just remind him, Russia is the aggressor, Zelensky is a war leader, whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin”.

Sir Keir Starmer makes a statement to a packed House of Commons on the situation in Ukraine, after meeting Donald Trump on Thursday and European leaders on Sunday. The prime minister says the UK must strengthen its relationship with the US but will "never choose between either side of the Atlantic". Sir Keir also tells MPs, “we stand by Ukraine because it's the right thing to do, but we also stand by them because it's in our interest to do so". Report by Blairm.

During an arms industry event at 10 Downing Street Sir Keir Starmer insists the government is “investing in our security, but we are also investing in peace” with its promised increase in defence spending.

French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have proposed a UK-France peace plan to end the Ukraine conflict, calling for a month-long ceasefire followed by the deployment of Western European peacekeepers. The proposal comes amid escalating tensions after a heated White House clash between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former US President Donald Trump. Russia has dismissed the plan, insisting on a permanent, legally binding peace deal.
