Sir Keir Starmer has warned there may not be a “quick and early end” to the conflict in the Middle East as he prepares to chair an emergency Cobra meeting on Monday.
Asked how long he thought the crisis would last, the prime minister told the Liaison Committee: “I’ve been really clear with the team that we mustn’t fall into the sort of false comfort of thinking that there will necessarily be a quick and early end to this. We have to plan on the basis there may not be.”
