Keir Starmer is right to stand up to Donald Trump over Iran. While the brutal Iranian regime should rightly be condemned and international pressure applied, this war is not the right course of action.

London mayor criticises PM for calling Greens ‘extreme’ after Gorton and Denton loss, saying it is a ‘flawed strategy’ * Sadiq Khan: ‘Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives.

In what appears to be an attack on Keir Starmer, Sadiq Khan challenged the prime minister’s branding of the Green party and its policies as “extreme”, saying many of its supporters shared Labour’s values but were disappointed in the government.
