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.

Bev fumed: "The tone deaf nature of this - this Government are just globalists. They don't care about the British public and that's what makes me so cross.
"You can freeze your pensioners, you can see farmers kicked off their land, which will change this country forever. Oh, but here's another £2billion and we will endlessly support the Zelenskys of this world."
Noting Zelensky's visit to the UK following his row with US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office, Bev suggested that Starmer's very warm welcome to the Ukrainian leader has put him in "competition" with Trump, the UK's closest ally.
Bev stated: "Starmer's meeting with Trump, he was embarrassing. I was embarrassed by him. He cuddled up to Trump that day, and then when Trump has made it really clear that he's unhappy with Zelensky's approach to these negotiations, which is what it is, Starmer publicly greets him.

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."
