Keir Starmer stands firm against US pressure over the Iran conflict, refusing to commit British warships to the Strait of Hormuz. This principled stance has garnered a significant approval boost amid rising tensions. Starmer must maintain this resolve for the upcoming challenges ahead.

Monday’s front pages continue the weekend trend of no clear lead story, and instead, a variety of topics dominate the headlines.
