A Labour MP has hit back at Donald Trump after the US President remarked Sir Keir Starmer was "no Winston Churchill".
During a press conference at the White House this afternoon, the US President singled out responses to US military action on Iran from Britain and Spain, adding that he "wasn't happy".
Speaking about Labour's Chagos "surrender" deal, Mr Trump said: "The island that island that you read about, the lease, for whatever reason, he made a lease of the island, somebody came and took it away from him.
"And it's taken three, four days for us to work out where we can land, it would have been much more convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours.
"So we are very surprised. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with..."
But Toby Perkins, who serves as the Labour MP for Chesterfield, told GB News: "Well, it's not Franklin Roosevelt that we're dealing with either.
"I think the reality is that at least I made clear - he wasn't convinced about the legality of the original offensive action. And for that reason, Britain wasn't going to be getting involved and Britain wasn't going to be allowing our bases to be used."
