Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of strong alliances, stating, "Against the backdrop of these dangerous times, the idea that we must choose between our allies, that somehow we're with either America or Europe, is plain wrong." He indicated that both should be supported equally, arguing that past leaders like Attlee and Churchill also maintained relationships with all allies.
He stressed the necessity of supporting Ukraine against Russia by stating, "It is deeply in our self-interest to support Ukraine against Russian president Vladimir Putin because the future of freedom in Europe is being decided today.” Starmer highlighted that failure to support Ukraine would jeopardize UK security and prosperity.
In his speech, Sir Keir urged that "There is no growth without security and no security without alliances," underscoring that economic stability is contingent on maintaining strong international partnerships.
Sir Keir asserted that the UK is "determined to fight harder on the world stage for our national interests and ready to dig deeper to defend them," emphasizing a resolute stance against aggressive foreign policies.
