Wes Streeting swings back at Donald Trump's Chamberlain jibe at Sir Keir Starmer

Wes Streeting hit back at Donald Trump over his handling of the Iran war today as the Transatlantic 'special relationship' continued to fray.The Health Secretary said Keir Starmer's decision to keep Britain out of the conflict was being vindicated every day, after the president's latest broadside at the Prime Minister.Trump used a White House appearance featuring a giant Easter Bunny to compare Sir Keir to Neville Chamberlain, the former prime minister now mostly remembered for his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s.In recent weeks he has repeatedly attacked the PM, the UK's military and other Nato allies for refusing to help with the Iran conflict, with energy prices being sent sky high by the closure of the Straits of Hormuz.Speaking to Sky News this morning, Mr Streeting said Sir Keir deserved 'enormous credit' for refusing to join the attack.
