Nigel Farage has slammed the embattled Keir Starmer’s “awkward” presence at the G7 summit in France.Speaking to GB News, the Reform UK leader also revealed the “urgent” issue he would address at the key gathering if he was Prime Minister. Sir Keir joined President Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and other world leaders in Evian, France. However, Mr Farage said with a grimace: “It's been awkward really hasn’t it?” TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say “He's in the room and the rest are thinking ‘goodbye’ because ‘you're not going to be back’. There won't be another one.“The end of his premiership is inevitable,” the Reform leader predicted. “I wonder whether if he ought to be going, because he can't give him the domestic position.”Having delivered his bruising verdict on Sir Keir, Mr Farage then revealed which issue he would prioritise if he were sitting with other leaders as Prime Minister. “I think the really urgent conversation is around defence,” he said. “I just wonder whether a proper grown-up conversation is being had around that table about defence. “If I were there. That'd be my subject,” the Refom leader assured. Among his concerns was Russia, epscially with President Vladimir Putin being forced into a corner.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSKeir Starmer brands his critics ‘wrong every time’ amid leadership pressureUK Defence Chief admits Britain will be forced to ‘scale back’ capabilities without extra cashWes Streeting hails a ‘plucky underdog’ as he compares himself to GB News“Putin in trouble is potentially quite dangerous,” he warned.GB News host Martin Daubney then asked Mr Farage what his other priorities would be at a hypothetical future summit. He revealed a key topic of conversation would be a renogiationa of net zero and climate inciatives. “It would make sense for Western countries that are in relative decline compared to China, India, to have a reappraisal of whether they actually think that building wind turbines is going to save us from global warming,” Mr Farage said.The Reform leader also said that addressing the migrant crisis would be another key priority. He addressed the 10,000 migrants who have so far crossed the English Channel this year. While the fugure was down on last year’s numbers, Mr Farage said: “I don't think 10,000 nearly all young men are about who we know. Nothing could be described as a victory. “In fact, in previous times we'd have said it was an invasion and a disaster.” Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
