Donald Trump has had yet another dig at Keir Starmer - saying the UK should be "enthusiastically" helping to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier Mr Starmer said ending the conflict is the key way of tackling the cost of living crisis expected to follow. During a phone call on Sunday, Trump claimed, Mr Starmer said he would take advice before committing warships to secure the strait. Mr Trump then claimed oil prices would fall "very, very rapidly". Mr Starmer said: "While taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies, we will not be drawn into the wider war."
