Starmer: Universal park announcement marks 'momentous day'
Sir Keir Starmer said the announcement marked a “momentous” day as he praised Universal Studios for choosing the UK as its first location in Europe for a theme park.
The prime minister said: “What a momentous day, what an important day.
It’s not just the first one in the United Kingdom, that would be pretty good, it’s the first one across Europe, and that is really incredible.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s real intent.
In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UK’s recognition promise just lip service?
