Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Starmer Compares Trump To Putin Over Energy Costs
Caption: Starmer Compares Trump To Putin Over Energy Costs. Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticised rising energy prices, blaming global instability linked to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. He said British families and businesses are facing volatile bills due to international conflicts. The spike in costs follows the Iran war and the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Starmer refused to endorse Trump’s rhetoric, saying threats about a “whole civilization” were “not language I would use”. The UK has distanced itself from U.S. military operations by denying use of its bases. Starmer also criticised ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, calling them “wrong”. The comments come as the UK faces mounting cost-of-living pressures ahead of elections. Britain is pushing diplomatic efforts to stabilise energy markets and reopen key shipping routes.
