Scotland, Wales and N Ireland party leaders unite to criticise Starmer over Israel-Gaza stance
Monday, 18 August 2025 () Party leaders in the UK's devolved nations have called on Sir Keir Starmer to impose immediate sanctions on Israel and said waiting until September to recognise a Palestinian state is "far too late".
Prime Minister Keir Starmer lands in Washington ahead of meetings with European leaders, President Zelenskyy and President Trump to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.
