THE PRIME MINISTER has been branded “completely subservient” to US President Donald Trump by the leader of the Green Party after the two exchanged blows over foreign policy.
At a rally outside controversial US tech firm Palantir’s London offices, Zack Polanski responded to Sir Keir Starmer’s PMQ comments calling him “high on drugs, soft on Putin.”
Mr Polanski said the prime minister’s comments were “completely disgraceful” and “deeply disrespectful” at a protest on Thursday against a £330 million contract for Palantir to provide data collection services to the NHS.
He said the government has been subservient to the US president’s foreign policy aims not only in relation to recent military actions and threats to Greenland, but also in allowing Palantir into Britain’s public health system.

“When Donald Trump told us who he was the first time we should have believed him,” Mr Polanski said.
“This is a dangerous man who is behaving in increasingly unpredictable ways and our government over and over again, through Keir Starmer, has been completely subservient, both in terms of healthcare systems we’re talking about today and the link to Palantir, but also in terms of our military defence.”
He reiterated calls made earlier this week, demanding a review into US military forces operating in Britain and for the government to consider leaving Nato.
“We need to have an urgent review about US bases on UK soil and certainly if Donald Trump invades Greenland then it is time to evict them from those US bases,” he said.

US President Donald Trump has said that American intelligence knows the location of the body of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli captive in the Gaza Strip.
Speaking at a press conference in Washington on Tuesday, Trump said: “We got the 28 hostages; they have one left, that we think we know where it is. Amazing.”
Israeli officials told Yedioth Ahronoth that they were surprised by the claim that US intelligence knows Gvili’s location. They said Israel itself does not know the exact site of the body and can only estimate the general area.
Gvili’s mother, Talik Gvili, issued a statement on Tuesday evening following Trump’s remarks, saying that the president’s announcement “confirms what we have been saying for three months: Hamas knows exactly where our son is and has deliberately and knowingly violated the framework set by President Trump and the agreement for the return of all hostages.”
Meanwhile, Israeli National Coordinator for the Hostages and the Missing persons, Gal Hirsch, said: “The Gvili family is kept fully informed of developments, and efforts to bring Ran Gvili home continue in multiple, ongoing ways.”
Trump’s comments came after all other Israeli hostages were handed over under a prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement.
On 9 October 2025, Hamas and Israel, with US, Egyptian, and Qatari mediation, announced they had reached the first phase of the US peace plan proposed by President Trump.

US President Donald Trump declared that Venezuela will hand over up to 50 million barrels of oil—which could be sold for around $3 billion.
US President Donald Trump claimed late Tuesday that Venezuela’s interim leadership will turn over to the United States as many as 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to be sold at market price, part of a broader, unlawful administration effort to seize the South American nation’s natural resources.
Trump, who authorized the illegal US bombing of Venezuela and abduction of its president this past weekend, said he would control the proceeds of the sale—which could amount to $3 billion.
“Just straight-up piracy and extortion from the US president,” journalist Mehdi Hasan wrote in response.
Consistent with his administration’s conduct since the weekend attack that killed at least 75 people in Venezuela, Trump provided few details on how his scheme would work or how it would comply with domestic and international law, both of which the president has repeatedly disregarded and treated with contempt.
It’s also not clear that Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s acting president and an ally of Nicolás Maduro, has agreed to Trump’s plan, which he announced on social media as his administration worked to entice US oil giants to take part in its effort to exploit the South American nation’s vast reserves.
Ahead of the US attack on Venezuela, the Trump administration imposed a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers approaching or leaving Venezuela, pushing the country closer to economic collapse. The New York Timesnoted Tuesday that Trump’s decision to “begin targeting tankers carrying Venezuelan crude to Asian markets had paralyzed the state oil company’s exports.”
“To keep the wells pumping, the state oil company, known as PDVSA, had been redirecting crude oil into storage tanks and turning tankers idling in ports into floating storage facilities,” the Times reported. During Trump’s first White House term, he banned US companies from working with PDVSA.
Trump wrote in his social media post Tuesday that the tens of millions of barrels of oil “will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.”
“I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately,” Trump wrote.
The Trump administration is also pushing Venezuela’s interim leadership to meet a series of US demands before it can pump more oil, ABC Newsreported late Tuesday. Trump has illegally threatened to launch another attack on Venezuela, and target more of its politicians, if the country’s leadership doesn’t follow his administration’s orders.
According to ABC, the Trump administration has instructed Venezuela to “kick out China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and sever economic ties.”
“Second, Venezuela must agree to partner exclusively with the US on oil production and favor America when selling heavy crude oil,” ABC added, citing unnamed sources. “According to one person, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in a private briefing on Monday that he believes the US can force Venezuela’s hand because its existing oil tankers are full. Rubio also told lawmakers that the US estimates that Caracas has only a couple of weeks before it will become financially insolvent without the sale of its oil reserves.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ministers in his government that he has received a green light from US President Donald Trump to launch an attack in Lebanon, according to Israel’s public broadcaster Kan on Wednesday evening.
The report comes a few days after Kan said, citing two informed sources, that Israel is considering a military operation in Lebanon aimed at eliminating what it described as the “Hezbollah threat”.
Kan said Netanyahu discussed expanding Israeli attacks in Lebanon with President Trump during a meeting in Florida in late December.
According to the broadcaster, Hezbollah has been able to rebuild some of its capabilities during the ceasefire. Israeli officials also claimed that the Lebanese government is unable to confront the group.
The sources added that the Trump administration does not rule out the possibility of Israel carrying out an operation against Hezbollah. However, they said Netanyahu was asked to delay any decision to allow further dialogue with the Lebanese government.
This assessment comes amid ongoing tension along the Lebanese–Israeli border and growing debate in Israel about the failure of political and diplomatic efforts to force Hezbollah to disarm, raising the prospect of a new phase of careful military calculations.

The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the comments made by Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday evening were intended to convince US President Donald Trump that he is being persecuted during his trial, in order to push Trump to increase his efforts to grant him a pardon.
On Thursday evening, Netanyahu posted a video on his page on the platform X, speaking in English and claiming that his trial is political, began six years ago, and could continue for another four years.
In the video, he said: “It’s a political trial. They [the prosecutors] are not interested in justice; they are interested in getting me out of office.”
Netanyahu also tried to explain the reasons for his trial, claiming that the investigators told him they were looking into a suspicion of corruption related to two incidents. The first is that his son received a Bugs Bunny toy as a gift 29 years ago, and the second is that he accepted a cigar as a gift from a friend.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, political sources said that “Netanyahu’s statements in English aim”to convince the American public that he is being persecuted.”
The paper added that Netanyahu is trying to “shape public opinion in the US and pressure President Trump to increase his actions” to grant him a pardon.
Commenting on this, Benny Gantz, the leader of the Blue and White Party, said that Netanyahu is placing his personal interest above the interest of the country.
