STARmer’s D-DAY Betrayal Sparks Anger Among Forgotten Veterans
— Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under fire after being accused of misleading World War II veterans about help for the 80th D-Day anniversary in Normandy. Funding from a key government program ran out, leaving many elderly heroes worried they would miss what could be their last chance to honor fallen friends. Outrage grew when the government first said no more money would be given, despite earlier promises. Campaigners called this a “shameful U-turn,” accusing Starmer of breaking his word and failing to respect Britain’s war heroes. Starmer tried to calm the backlash by promising a review and saying no veteran would be left behind. Labour officials blamed the previous Conservative government, claiming it had let veterans down for years. Critics say time is short and words are not enough. Veterans’ groups demand real action so those who risked everything on D-Day are not left stranded by political games.
