GB News presenter Patrick Christys has taken aim at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer following reports that US President Donald Trump is considering supplying long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
The possible move by Trump follows his weekend phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who urged the White House to provide stronger military support to help Ukraine launch counter-attacks against Russia.
According to reports, Zelensky will meet Trump in Washington this Friday for further talks focused on air defence systems and long-range strike capabilities.
This development comes shortly after the Gaza peace summit in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, where Trump, alongside leaders from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, signed a declaration aimed at restoring stability in the region. As part of the deal, Israel agreed to release 250 Palestinian prisoners and over 1,700 detainees in exchange for the final 20 Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
During his GB News show The Late Edition, Patrick Christys weighed in on Trump’s potential decision, taking a jab at Starmer’s likely reaction.
“Let’s just say Trump goes ahead with this,” Christys began. “You can already predict what’ll happen next. Sir Keir Starmer will come out saying, ‘Britain has played a leading role in securing peace in Ukraine.’”
He continued, voicing concern about how British taxpayers might bear the cost:
“We’ll end up paying for Gaza’s reconstruction and patrolling Ukraine’s borders while our own are left wide open. Taxes will rise, pensioners will struggle and Britain will be doing everyone else’s job but its own.”
His co-host Carole Malone responded with skepticism, suggesting that Starmer is unlikely to allocate funds for foreign conflicts given the UK’s economic struggles.
“I don’t think he’ll do it,” Malone said. “We’re already three trillion pounds in debt. What he might do is open the door to Gaza refugees, because that’s easier politically but it’s still the British public who end up paying.”
The exchange reflects growing debate over Britain’s global role under Keir Starmer, especially as Donald Trump seeks to reassert US influence in both Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
