Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2026

Debate

G7 Summit

Contribution

When it came to the most sober decision that a Prime Minister has to make—on a matter of life, death and war—and others were pushing for the UK to jump head first into another war in the Middle East, Keir Starmer stood strong, stood firm and said, ‘No, this is not our war’, putting British soldiers and the national interest first. He made Britain safer, rebuilt Britain’s reputation around the world, and drove investment and growth that will support working families in Britain for decades to come. Regardless of their politics, everyone in this House owes a debt of gratitude to the Prime Minister on foreign affairs.
