00:00I think Keir Starmer has really jeopardised the special relationship. Our relationship with the US has served this country and
00:06that for generations. We've benefited from that, whether it be on trade, whether it be on defence, whether it be
00:11on intelligence. Our national security has benefited from that. We've benefited from that.
00:15Under Starmer, the minute this conflict occurred, he was asked for access to those bases. He hesitated. He dilly-dallied.
00:24He did that. He delayed souring that relationship yet more. He's failed to protect those bases. I think he's just
00:31got it completely wrong. He's hesitated too much. He doesn't have the backbone or the strength to make the decisions
00:36that we require him to make.
00:39We don't want to see troops on the ground there. We want to avoid that. But we do need to
00:43work in partnership with the US, with Israel to take the thing forwards.
