Keir Starmer’s leadership during the crisis between Presidents Trump and Zelensky has truly stood out. When the Oval Office row erupted, with Trump baiting Zelensky over his request for security guarantees in a peace deal with Russia, it was a disgrace. Starmer quickly took action, calling both leaders to urge calm and avoid making a bad situation worse. He then welcomed Zelensky to London, met with European leaders, and worked hard to create a practical path to peace.
These moves showed mature, responsible leadership, but not everyone was impressed. SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, however, chose to react like a student politician. He inexplicably called the Prime Minister “weak” and suggested he should “get back up off his knees” and cancel the offer of a second state visit to Trump, reported the Daily Record.
