Description:

Sir Keir Starmer has paid tribute to British veterans who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, after US Vice-President JD Vance was accused of disrespecting UK troops.

Without directly referring to Vance's comments, Sir Keir opened Prime Minister's Questions by remembering those who "died fighting for Britain alongside our allies".

On Tuesday, Vance was criticised for saying a US stake in Ukraine's economy was a "better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years".
