UK Labour party leader Keir Starmer is calling for tougher sanctions for Russia over the Ukraine crisis.
Speaking on a visit to Sunderland, in north-east England, he says: “I’d like that threat [of sanctions] to be very real because let’s see this for what it is. It’s Russian aggression.
“So, I would say to the Government go further on sanctions.”
He adds: “Russia wants to see our allies divided, it wants to see division in the United Kingdom, and we are not going to divide and, therefore, we support the government in what it’s doing.”
He says Parliament should be recalled if Russia invades Ukraine because there must be “a swift and strong” response from the UK, and “a united response with our allies”.
