Our number one priority is protecting our people, says Starmer, overlaid with the sound of electric guitars played by Dire Straits. Starmer refused to join the US and Israeli strikes on Iran but has since authorised defensive action.

Iran and the regime he's led for so long, it's a source of evil—murdering its own citizens and sponsoring and exporting terror. I think few people will mourn the ayatollah's death, not least the families and friends of the thousands of protesters murdered on the streets of Iranian cities.

The Defence Committee reaffirms that the United Kingdom must stand unequivocally with the people of Ukraine at this critical moment. Their struggle is not only for their own homeland, but also in defence of the security, stability and values of other parts of Europe. We believe that any peace must be just, lasting, and above all acceptable to Ukraine itself.
