Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on the UK's response to the Iran conflict, Trump's rebuke

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says it's special relationship with the US is not dead.   US President Donald Trump yesterday described the UK's war effort as disappointing and Starmer was 'no Winston Churchill'.  US and Israeli forces have bombed more than 2000 targets and killed close to 800 people in Iran since first launching attacks on Saturday.  UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking it’s difficult for Starmer because this is the one area where he was successful in treading the line between keeping Trump on side and staying sane, and that’s now gone.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
