With tomorrow marking the anniversary of the tragic deaths of six soldiers in Afghanistan and the 18th anniversary of Benjamin Ready's passing, Sir Keir highlighted the bravery and sacrifice of those who served the country.
Unity in the House of Commons
In a rare moment of unity during PMQs, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch joined Sir Keir in honoring the British Armed Forces, emphasizing their vital role in defending the nation's values.
Reaffirming commitment to NATO
Sir Keir also addressed concerns about UK involvement in Ukraine, stating that President Trump has assured commitment to NATO's Article Five, which mandates mutual defense among member states in case of an attack.
Working together for security guarantees
Highlighting the importance of collaboration with the US, Europe, and Ukraine, Sir Keir emphasized the need for security guarantees to be in place for any potential deals, ensuring the safety and stability of the region.
