Starmer appears to be caught off guard by the decision by Trump overnight to withdraw aid to Ukraine.
He told the Commons on Monday this would not happen.
"As I understand that is not their position," he told the Commons, in response to a question from the SNP's Stephen Flynn.

Interesting spin Jessica.
We didnt need to pander to him, we needed a strategy to replace him, and Starmer probably isnt up to rethinking our strategic alliances!
Is Starmer up to it?
I'm doubtful.
Re-building bridges to Trump, who is betraying the Ukraine, isnt what we need.
Build your bridge to the EU, & a European army!
Time for Europe, UK and Canada to stand up to Trump, tell the bully we are done with him, he is Wrong!
Maybe now, the UK govt will align itself much more with the rest of the EU, since the US is no longer an ally.
Starmer needs to forget Trump, and talk about rejoining the EU!
Expecting him to have a 'position' on anything is futile.
When you deal with a liar and a chancer, you sometimes have to be a bit flexible in turn
Trump has been anti Zelensky for many years, since he refused to supply Hunter Biden information!
Hence the 'as I understand it' type riders. Starmer is certainly not off guard.
Not the cleverest of posts from the Guardian AGAIN
Trump will normalise economic relations with Mass Murderer Putin, & sell out Ukraine Sovereignty & freedom, calling it a peace deal, to Russia
Starmer is aligning himself with the old world, that Trump has torn to shreds, & desparately needs to build his brigde to the EU not US
Starmer is caught between knowing that and framing a very public response that doesn’t make Trump sound like the despot he is.
If you cannot see that Trump is burning all the old alliances, you are not paying attention.
Stsrmer has to build his bridge to the EU, and forget the old alliances, that have now been broken!
He changed his mind maybe 🤔 to deflect from the Stock Market tanking after that same conference where he said the tariffs would go ahead on Canada and Mexico
