GB News host Bev Turner has taken aim at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his "globalist" Labour Government following his latest pledge to Ukraine.
Starmer told the summit: "We are at a crossroads in history today. This is not a moment for more talk. It’s time to act. Time to step up and lead and to unite around a new plan for a just and enduring peace."
Discussing the deal on GB News, Britain's Newsroom host Bev Turner hit out at the "globalist" move by Starmer and their "tone deaf" decision.

"Starmer has put himself in a position of absolute competition with Donald Trump right now, which is going to backfire on all of us."
Delivering his verdict on the state of UK-US relations amid Starmer's public support of Zelensky, co-host Andrew Pierce said Starmer's extension of an invitation of a state visit to Trump was "leverage" and use of "soft power".
Andrew explained: "The state visit offer should have been made when he'd got a deal, perhaps on tariffs. You use soft power - the role of the state visit was leverage.
"And I'm not sure he leveraged much out of it. Like it wasn't all choreographed before?"

Sharing his view on the King's meeting with Zelensky, Andrew admitted that it appears the King "did want to see Zelensky", but Starmer "would have ultimately decided" if it was to go ahead.
Andrew concluded: "I think the King did want to see Zelensky, but the Prime Minister decides. And when number ten said yesterday about a state visit, that's a matter for Buckingham Palace, that's not true.
"Downing Street decides, the Foreign Office decides - the King is the servant of the Government. And he's now been put in an impossible position, frankly."
