Badenoch Urges Starmer to Apologize to Trump

In recent political discourse, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy's past criticisms of Donald Trump have resurfaced, with new Tory leader Kemi Badenoch urging Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to apologize for Lammy's remarks. Lammy had previously labeled Trump as a 'neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath,' but now dismisses these comments as 'old news' and emphasizes the need to find 'common ground' with the president-elect for national interests. During Prime Minister's Questions, Badenoch highlighted these past criticisms and challenged Starmer to invite Trump to address the UK Parliament, which Starmer deflected by focusing on constructive dialogue with Trump. The exchanges were part of a broader PMQs session where Badenoch also criticized the government's budget plans on farming and defense, with Starmer defending the budget's provisions. Despite the heated debates, Lammy remains in his role, and both parties signal readiness to work with Trump in light of his election victory.
