Starmer Must Clarify Role in Soldiers' War‑Crime Probe
Former Army chief urges Keir Starmer to clarify his role in the war‑crime probe of former Troubles soldiers.
On 28 Jan 2026, GB News reported that former head of the British Army, Lord Dannatt, urged Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to clarify his involvement in a legal case probing alleged war crimes committed by hundreds of soldiers who served during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The case follows a recent vote by MPs to strip these soldiers of statutory immunity, allowing prosecutions to proceed. Lord Dannatt said Starmer must “explain himself” ahead of potential legal action that could see former soldiers charged over incidents that occurred between 1969 and 1998. The story was written by Gabrielle Wilde and appears on GB News.
