The UK and Finland are “tied hip-to-hip” on Nato, Finnish president Alexander Stubb has said after meeting Sir Keir Starmer in Downing Street.

Finland, which joined Nato in April 2023, has a border of more than 800 miles with Russia and applied to join the military alliance shortly after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
