'Raging’ Iain Dale hangs up on LBC caller after Ukraine debate escalates

Britain and France are drawing up plans to send a "reassurance force" to Ukraine, Sir Keir Starmer has said following the latest round of peace talks. The two countries will send military chiefs to Kyiv as they asses how to keep Ukraine prepared for the future, the Prime Minister said following a summit in Paris this afternoon. Up to 30 countries have been involved at the planning meetings, with "different countries are putting forward different capabilities," Starmer said. Referencing Macron, Starmer added that the "group asked Emmanuel and me to lead the co-ordination of the efforts we have touched on this morning." But Starmer insisted peacekeeping plans were still in motion, saying it was his “long-standing position” that Parliament would have a say when the time comes for deploying British troops. As the country braces for further news, Iain Dale hears the public's stance on the issue, whether he likes it or not.
