Politics LIVE: Keir Starmer to jet off to Munich for security conference | Politics | News


Sir Keir Starmer is set to meet European allies gathering in Germany amid growing threats from Russia and China and diplomatic tensions with Donald Trump. After a torrid few weeks domestically, the Prime Minister will travel to the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

He is expected to hold meetings with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron in the afternoon, and then address the summit on Saturday morning.
