British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated that he is fed up with seeing how the actions of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin affect energy prices in the country, writes The Guardian. According to him, due to global events, British families and businesses constantly face unstable energy bills.

"I am fed up with families across the country seeing their energy bills go up and down, and businesses seeing their energy bills go up and down because of actions taken by Putin or Trump around the world," Keir Starmer stressed.
In the interview, the British Prime Minister also critically commented on the situation in the Middle East. Starmer condemned Israel's continued strikes on Lebanon, emphasizing that such actions must stop, regardless of whether they are considered a formal violation of ceasefire agreements.
He also stated the need for a concrete plan to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after a truce is reached. Starmer noted that it is now important to quickly move to practical steps to restore normal ship movement.
The British Prime Minister also admitted that the UK does not have full information about the terms of the truce, but clearly stated that the attacks on Lebanon are wrong.
Starmer also emphasized that he wants to see the country less dependent on external crises. He criticized the approach of previous governments, which, in his opinion, only temporarily "patched up" problems, and promised that his government would act more decisively. The Prime Minister also noted that the war with Iran should become a turning point that will define the future for a long time.
Starmer's relations with the US deteriorated after the start of the conflict with Iran. Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized and ridiculed European leaders, including Starmer himself, showing videos where he allegedly fears the American president.
Other leaders also came under Trump's criticism. For example, he spoke insultingly about French President Emmanuel Macron and also threatened Spain with economic measures and even hinted at the possibility of using its military bases without permission.
