00:00Keir Starmer built a really good and positive relationship with Donald Trump through hard
00:05work and diplomacy and I'm confident that Andy Vernon will be able to do the same.
00:10Donald Trump says a whole range of things about a whole range of people, he's of course
00:13very entitled to his views but it's important that of course the UK Prime Minister stands
00:18up for the national interest and I don't think Keir would resolve for one second from the
00:23fact that he made the choice not to rush to war as other opposition parties in the UK were
00:28saying that we should do when the conflict in Iran began. The first job of a UK Prime Minister
00:33was to put our country's national interest first and of course work hard with international partners.
