British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has visited the site of the Nazi German extermination camp Auschwitz ahead of talks with Poland's leaders on security and tightening Britain's ties with the European Union.

Keir Starmer has spoken of "deep bonds of family, of history, and of friendship" on a state visit to Poland - where he unveiled a new security and defence pact.

Starmer’s actions betray not only British sovereignty but also the trust of our armed forces. His willingness to consider aligning with the EU defence initiative smacks of desperation — a misguided attempt to gain favour with European elites while neglecting the very real needs of Britain’s military.

Sir Keir Starmer is facing pressure from European leaders to join a €500 billion defence scheme, amid threats to Nato by Donald Trump.

Keir Starmer is under pressure from European leaders to join a £420 billion defence scheme amid threats to Nato by Donald Trump. The new President has urged Nato countries to boost their defence spending per GDP from 2% to 5%, claiming European allies have piggybacked on US military might for too long.

Keir Starmer has launched talks on a new 'security collaboration' between the UK and Poland. Starmer speaks of 'deepening ties between our defence industries' and refers to the £8 billion spent in securing defence deals over the last three years.
