The Daily Telegraph focuses on Donald Trump’s criticism of Sir Keir Starmer for, as he put it, taking “far too long” to let him strike Iran from British bases. “I am very disappointed in Keir” reads the paper’s headline. The Daily Mail quotes the Pentagon, which has accused the prime minister of “hand-wringing” and “pearl-clutching” over the operation. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir has distanced himself from US actions to placate voters who are swayed by conflicts in the Middle East, not the British national interest, according to the paper. The i Paper notes Sir Keir’s response to the criticism, in which he said the UK didn’t believe in “regime change from the skies”.
