Starmer blasted again by Trump in brutal dig as Iran war tensions boil over

Donald Trump has seemingly taken another brutal dig at Sir Keir Starmer as tensions over persistent US strikes on Iran threaten to boil over. Sir Keir Starmer revealed on Sunday that the US would be allowed to use British bases for "limited" and "defensive" operations.

But the White House has since made clear the US expects full backing from its European allies as the conflict intensifies. The US President had previously said Sir Keir's decision had taken "far too long". On Wednesday, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said: "I think [Spain] heard the president's message yesterday, loud and clear, and it's my understanding, over the past several hours, they've agreed to co-operate with the US military."
