Keir Starmer’s allies spy a silver lining at the end of a week dominated by Elon Musk’s interventions in British politics and global market turmoil that endangers the UK prime minister’s economic plans.

Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is trying to maintain a sense of optimism despite a turbulent week dominated by Elon Musk’s online “attacks” and a market rout that is testing the UK’s economic stability.

The Tesla boss has spent the first days of the new year attacking Sir Keir over his handling of grooming gangs.

Keir Starmer will travel to Ukraine in the coming weeks to discuss the possibility of deploying an international peacekeeping force there after the conflict with Russia has ended, his first visit to the war-torn nation since becoming UK prime minister half a year ago.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit Ukraine in the coming weeks to discuss the potential deployment of an international peacekeeping force, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 10, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The proposal to deploy a peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine could become part of broader security guarantees. Discussions will include the possibility of sending a military contingent from the UK, according to comments made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Ukrainian journalists following the Ramstein meeting.
