Keir Starmer: “This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only…”

We put the biggest investment into defence and security, and our international standing has been restored.

It’s about millions of working people they will never meet. Making sure that nobody else like them, ever has to suffer as they did.

Throughout this conflict, I have seen the incredible fortitude of the Ukrainian people and the iron will of a nation that refuses to be cowed.

I am so proud of what Britain has contributed. That work will continue, and our cast-iron support for Ukraine will always endure.
