Following Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is set to discuss the implications with European leaders at a summit in Budapest.
Starmer has offered his congratulations to Trump but is facing criticism over past remarks made by senior Labour figures, including David Lammy. The timing of Starmer's statements has also raised eyebrows, with accusations that he is using the moment to deflect from domestic controversies.
The summit will also address other pressing issues, including migration and small boat crossings.
