Russia won't be happy with the UK's new government but Australia has reason to be, experts say.
In his first days as UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer tore up a scheme by the former government to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda and spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart to ensure rock-solid support in the war with Russia.
"They talk about wanting to improve relations with Europe, but the Europeans don't really want to do that. The trade cooperation agreement works pretty well for Europe. They aren't really incentivised to reword that in any meaningful way and Europe has its own challenges now." Lammy is also seeking to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, and build ties with Donald Trump's Republican Party.
