GB News’ Eamonn Holmes skewers Keir Starmer in blistering message after foreign aid cuts
GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes has hit out at Sir Kier Starmer after he announced plans to increase defence spending to 2.5% of national income by 2027.
During Wednesday’s visit (February 26) to the London studios, the 65-year-old returned to the helm on the morning news show alongside his co-star Ellie Costello. The dynamic duo woke up the nation as they discussed some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines.
This included the news that BP is set to cut its renewable energy investments and reports that Ukraine and the US have agreed to terms that would close a crucial mineral deal between the countries.
But arguably the biggest story on everyone’s lips id the Prime Minister’s plans to slash overseas spending to boost defence over the next two years.
On Tuesday (February 25), the Labour leader said he would cut the foreign aid budget to fund the military boost – a move welcomed by the Trump administration but labelled a “betrayal” by development charities.
Sir Keir will face MPs in the House of Commons on today before jetting across the pond to the US, where Ukraine will be top of the agenda.
And it’s fair to say the dad-of-four was less than impressed by the announcement, who shared his disappointment on the breakfast news programme.
