Outrage as Keir Starmer welcomes former Al-Qaeda leader to the UK

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing major backlash after hosting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in London. Al-Sharaa, who previously had ties to groups linked to Al-Qaeda, met Starmer to discuss migration and security cooperation. Critics say the move raises serious questions about legitimising controversial figures on British soil. The meeting focused on border security and tackling illegal migration routes into Europe. The controversy adds to growing pressure on Starmer over his handling of foreign policy and national security.
