2 months agoPM pays tribute to British troops after Vance comments
Sir Keir Starmer honored British veterans after US VP JD Vance's controversial remarks on UK troop contributions.
Starmer stated that the new agreement with the EU will be beneficial, emphasizing that it will be 'good for jobs, good for bills and good for our borders'.
Major landmarks in London, including Tower Bridge and the Elizabeth Tower, were illuminated with red lights and images of poppies, marking Remembrance Sunday. This occasion is a solemn commemoration for the nation’s war dead, culminating in a nationwide two-minute silence. The events leading to Remembrance Day revive the memories of sacrifices made during World War I and resonate with contemporary parallels of global conflict as significant leaders gather to honor their legacy.
