Am sticking with my bet that the right is reading this wrong and that the majority of voters are not at all unhappy Starmer has upset Trump by holding back from a war whose purpose and end game no-one seems able to define.

Starmer not prepared to join a war ‘without lawful basis and viable plan’, he tells PMQs – UK politics live PM says country must act ‘with clarity, with purpose and with a cool head’ amid Middle East crisis and Trump criticism

"The sprint to clean energy is the only way to get off the volatile international fossil fuels markets, cut bills & deliver energy security"

Fair play to Starmer - this is exactly right. Meanwhile, Badenoch & Farage would have us hooked on more fossil fuels

Badenoch gives a borderline disgraceful performance at PMQs on Iran | John Crace At times like this you have to thank your lucky stars that the opposition leader is not in Downing Street

Kemi is a two-dimensional cut-out. A cartoon version of a leader of the opposition. A woman entirely without nuance who is condemned to fail time after time as she shouts the same questions time and again and totally misses the point. Tonal deficit disorder.

Starmer has the backing of Britons to stand up to Trumpism. At the White House, he should do so | Polly Toynbee The PM will not and should not pick a fight with the president. But it is his duty to go there upholding British and European values, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

“In a continent losing the security we relied on all our lives, trade disputes become trivial, Brexit an irrelevance. Merz is calling for Europe to come together in foreign, trade & security policy. Starmer ought to seize the chance and abandon fears of Brexiters”
