Watch dwell as Sir Keir Starmer faces his first Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, 5 March, his first since his go to to the United States and the explosive assembly between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

It comes after the US president criticised European leaders, together with the British prime minister, on Monday, deriding their weekend talks over Ukraine and launching a livid new assault on the Ukrainian president for saying a peace deal remains to be “very, very far away”.

Mr Trump fired off a tirade simply because the PM was on his toes within the House of Commons insisting the US was very important, honest and indispensable within the path to peace.

Sir Keir has dismissed calls from MPs for Britain to shun Mr Trump and America after final week’s extraordinary ambush on Mr Zelensky within the White House Oval Office.

The US president and JD Vance shouted over Mr Zelensky as a vital assembly on Ukraine erupted right into a shouting match.

The assembly appeared to go south when the US vice chairman accused the Ukrainian chief of being “disrespectful” when Mr Zelensky stated US safety ensures are needed for a ceasefire.

Mr Trump talked over Mr Zelensky repeatedly, warning him he’s “not in a good position” as Mr Zelensky seemed visibly irritated.

The Republican has since stated he obtained a letter from Mr Zelensky praising his “strong leadership.”

The US president boasted in an address to Congress that he “appreciated” Mr Zelensky sending the letter, which expressed willingness to return to the negotiating desk and finish the struggle as quickly as attainable.

There was no direct point out of a uncommon earth minerals deal in Mr Trump’s speech, though he quoted Mr Zelensky’s letter as saying Ukraine was able to signal.
