Starmer to join Macron on Armistice Day in Paris to show European solidarity
GuardianNOV 2024
Powell is an incredibly experienced political operative that will only benefit Starmer's premiership. A veteran of the Blair era, Powell will not only be a steady hand on an international front but will also add wisdom to a Labour Government that has been criticised for clumsy domestic policy strategy.
Starmer has appointed a man who willingly negotiated the surrender of the Chagos Islands – a piece of land integral to British strategic interests – as the country's national security advisor. The decision once again leaves the UK public lacking any confidence in Labour's foreign policy, and is likely to only further damage the UK's international position in the future.
There is a 70% chance that the UK will have a Labour Prime Minister on Jan. 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
