Sir Keir Starmer’s seat at the G7 summit in France was left empty as the prime minister ran late for the group photo. “I cannot tell you where Sir Keir Starmer is,” said a Sky News reporter during the broadcast, as the UK prime minister’s chair between Donald Trump and Friedrich Merz remained vacant. Starmer later joined the meeting as talks commenced. The group - which includes the leaders of the US, France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Canada and Japan - held a working lunch where they discussed security for Ukraine and Europe, as well as ending the Middle East crisis.
