Sir Keir Starmer will attempt to reassure the public as the Middle East conflict rages into its tenth day.

The Prime Minister will discuss the impact on people in the UK as he visits a London community centre on Monday.

Ahead of the visit he said the UK is “working round the clock to keep British citizens safe” and acknowledged that Britons at home are “worried sick” for friends and family.

“Staff are on the ground to support those in need, government-provided flights are helping people get home, and our tireless armed forces are flying across the region to defend our allies and our interests,” he said.

It comes amid speculation over the impact of the war on the global economy.

Asian markets plunged early on Monday as oil prices soared to about 114 dollars (£85.5) a barrel due to disruptions stemming from the conflict.
