Keir Starmer erupts at JD Vance as vice president blasts UK 'free speech'
Keir Starmer has hit back at US Vice President JD Vance after he accused the UK of "infringements on free speech".
The comment was made during a question and answer session between the politicans and reporters at the Oval Office.
Hitting back at the US politician, Sir Keir said: "We have had free speech for a very long time in the UK. I’m very proud of that."
JD Vance had lectured European nations, including the United Kingdom, on free speech during remarks before the Munich Security Conference earlier this month.
Speaking on Thursday, he added: "We do have a special relationship with our friends in the UK and European allies, but we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that affect not just the British...but also effect American technology companies and by extension American citizens."
