   NEWSFLASH:

   After 14 years in power, the U.K.’s Conservative government is on track for its worst-ever election result.

   It is now projected to be replaced by the Labour party, led by Keir #Starmer.

   Amidst anxiety around declining international support for #Ukraine, and the replacement of the U.K.’s Conservative government, Ukraine supporters couldn’t be blamed for wanting to know how a Labour victory could affect the country’s foreign policy.

     At the start of the full-scale invasion Boris Johnson, then the U.K.’s Prime Minister, was spiraling amid numerous scandals and criticism over his handling of the Covid pandemic.

     But in #Ukraine Johnson became a hero:

     By the time Boris Johnson resigned early from office on July 7th, 2022 the U.K. was the largest supporter of Ukraine after the U.S and had provided £3.8 billion to Ukraine.

     The United Kingdom has been a leader in rallying world support for Ukraine – and we expect that to stay the same under a Labour government.

     Although elected as a Labour Party leader under a non-interventionist platform, the invasion of Ukraine has seen a seismic shift in British politics

     – so much so that there is near-unanimity across the parties in the appropriateness of backing Ukraine.
