Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown. Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PM’s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

Sir Keir may have performed well yesterday, and done his best to lay the ground. But now it's clear we also need to stand more clearly at Ukraine's side, and separate ourselves from the US. Maintaining a "special relationship" with bullies can't be the UK role. That's not who we are.
