Starmer declares end of Brexit isolationism at security summit
Sir Keir Starmer has used a major speech at the Munich Security Conference to assert that the UK has moved past the introspection of the Brexit era. The Prime Minister emphasised that British security is inextricably linked to Europe, describing the continent as a sleeping giant that must wake up to Russian aggression. He announced the deployment of a carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to NATO’s collective defence principles.
