A Russian invasion of the UK 'would be great,' claims LBC caller

LBC caller Dean expresses his support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, telling Ben Kentish that a Russian invasion of Britain would be 'great'. Dean praises Putin as a 'man of his word' who can be 'trusted', contrasting him with the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, whom he accuses of breaking manifesto promises and being mired in an expenses scandal. Ben is left bewildered, challenging Dean's perspective by referencing Putin's assassination of political opponents, asking him what planet he's living on and what propaganda he's fallen victim to. It comes after US President Donald Trump says he trusts Putin and that Russia should return to G7 - labelling Moscow's expulsion 'a mistake'. Trump suggested Russia should return to the G7 on Thursday - a group of the most advanced world economies, noting that expelling the country "was a mistake".
