I am ready and willing to put British troops on the ground in Ukraine to enforce a peace deal if necessary.
Keir Starmer
The Public Record
The UK was prepared to contribute to security guarantees to Ukraine by putting our own troops on the ground if necessary.
We cannot have another situation like Afghanistan, where the US negotiated directly with the Taliban and cut out the Afghan government.
A US security guarantee is essential for a lasting peace, because only the US can deter Putin from attacking again.
The end of Russia's war with Ukraine when it comes, cannot merely become a temporary pause before Putin attacks again.
But any role in helping to guarantee Ukraine's security is helping to guarantee the security of our continent, and the security of this country.
It's clear Europe must take on a greater role in Nato as we work with the United States to secure Ukraine's future and face down the threat we face from Russia.
This is a once in a generation moment for our national security where we engage with the reality of the world today and the threat we face from Russia.
We've seen this playbook many times, whipping up intimidation and threats of violence.
The American ambassador should be summoned to explain in his words why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.
He needs to go completely. None of this nonsense about clinging on for a few months. He's inflicted lies, fraud and chaos in the country.
