Starmer to join Macron on Armistice Day in Paris to show European solidarity

Powell, a Blair era veteran, is an incredibly experienced political operative that will only benefit Starmer's premiership. Powell,He a Blair era veteran, will not only provide stability on the international front but also bring wisdom to a Labour government that has faced criticism for its 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.
