Days after Sir Keir Starmer told Beth that a US strike on Iran wasn’t imminent, Donald Trump gave the go-ahead for US bunker buster bombs to hit Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The UK’s position on the attacks is unclear. The focus is not on what the prime minister is saying – but what he isn’t saying. After a brief interview, it’s clear Sir Keir isn’t willing to either endorse the strikes or criticise President Trump.
For this extra episode, Beth, Ruth and Harriet discuss the delicate situation the prime minister finds himself in after a full-blown escalation of the Middle East conflict. They ask what will be going through the minds of Sir Keir and those around him – and if there are any answers the government can, and will, give in the coming days.
