GB News issued a brutal dig at Keir Starmer after US President Donald Trump hit out at him. Posting on Truth Social, Trump slammed Starmer for “trying to join a war that had already been won,” writing: “The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, adding: “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer – But we will remember. We don’t need people who join Wars after we’ve already won!”

Reacting to the scathing post on GB News, political commentator Hilary Fordwich said: “For them to obviously be buddies before, and even though they have completely different political leanings, it really, really worked out well, and I think that they both danced around their differences initially, but now certainly Sir Keir Starmer has shown his colours.

“Obviously, he’s pandering to and desperate to hold on to his Muslim base, and of course, we saw the Gorton election outside of Manchester with a disastrous result for Labour, obviously, he’s scared, but I think he should do what he does best, what Sir Keir Starmer does best is U-turns, and he should do another U-turn.

“He should then go back on himself and he should rectify this, and as I’ve mentioned earlier, I think it’s actually a little bit sad that we didn’t see even some kind of neutral, very politically correct statement coming out of Buckingham Palace.

The King could say we treasure our long-standing special relationship; all that needs to be said is just a few words. I think that would be very appropriate at this time. I would venture to say that the British public would all stand up, regardless of what they think of President Trump, and say who else in the world is gonna come flying by our side not China, not Russia, certainly not the EU, who else is gonna come and help defend us? We need to stay on side with the US and with President Trump.”

Ben Leo then responded that he worked with the royals before, and said there is “no way in hell” the King would get involved with the ongoing conflict with Iran, meaning Starmer will have to find another way to smooth things over with the President.
