The US president shocked the world this morning what declaring that Israel and Iran "don't know what the f*** they're doing" as both sides were accused of violating the ceasefire he announced.

Our political editor Beth Rigby put to Sir Keir Starmer that it's all rather humiliating for Donald Trump, particularly given his close personal relationship with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

But Starmer dodged that question, saying a ceasefire was in place "in the early hours of today", which is "a good thing for the region and more widely".

"We need to maintain that ceasefire and I think it's very important at this NATO summit that we all work together to make sure that we do, because that ceasefire creates the space for what needs to happen next, which is the negotiations to ensure that Iran does not have the capability to develop nuclear weapons," the PM said.

He added: "I want to see that ceasefire maintained. We will work with others, including, of course, the US, to ensure that that's the position."

The prime minister has said next week's vote on his controversial welfare cuts is "not a confidence vote" in his leadership of the government, and insisted he will be "pressing on" with pushing the legislation through.

It comes as 119 Labour MPs - led by select committee chairs - have signed on to an amendment that could kill the bill at a vote next Tuesday, which would be humiliating for a government with such a huge majority.

But speaking to our political editor Beth Rigby at the NATO summit in the Netherlands, Sir Keir Starmer said: "We need to drive rough reform in the welfare system. It's not working for anyone.

"It's not a confidence vote. It's a vote about reform of our welfare system. It isn't working, it doesn't help people in to work - quite the contrary. It actually makes it harder for people to get into work."

Despite the apparent rebellion, the PM said "most colleagues do accept the case for reform", and argued that they've "got to get on and make that reform because the options are: leave the system as it is, trapping people and not helping them", which is "not a Labour option".

"The Labour option is to reform it and make it fit for the future. So we're going to press ahead with these reforms," he said.

Keir Starmer has said the UK is "facing daily challenges on the home front" after the government's national security strategy warned the country must "actively prepare" for war at home.

Britain is targeted by "very, very frequent and very, very serious" cyberattacks, the prime minister told our political editor Beth Rigby.

Energy security is also a concern following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while the PM also cited the threat of Iran.

"We have to guard properly against those threats, and we will do so," Starmer added.

Keir Starmer has said it's "pretty obvious we're living in volatile times".

Speaking ahead of a NATO summit in The Hague, in the Netherlands, the prime minister said it was "more volatile" than most of us have known.

He said he takes his role of keeping Britain safe "really seriously", as he and fellow military allies at NATO prepare to commit to spending 5% of national income on defence and security.

Before the summit, he visited a marines training base in Rotterdam.

The UK must "actively prepare" for war on the homeland, the government's National Security Strategy concludes.

The document, which has just been published by the government, says: "For the first time in many years, we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat, potentially in a wartime scenario."

The strategy says "we are in an era in which we face confrontation with those who are threatening our security", noting that the most obvious example of this is Russia in its war against Ukraine.

It adds that "the likelihood of contingencies in which we may be asked, or choose, to confront threats by the use of military force is growing", and that due to this, "greater vigilance in all domains will be essential to continue to deter those who seek to undermine our territorial security".

The government will run annual exercises to test the preparedness of the whole of society as part of efforts to rebuild resilience, the new strategy says. 

There will also be moves to improve security around critical national infrastructure such as power stations and water supplies as part of what is being called "Home Defence".

The foreign secretary is up again in the Commons, reporting back on the government's so-called "China audit".

It's designed to outline the benefits and challenges posed by the UK's relationship with China.

Sir Keir Starmer has insisted there is a "clear moral case" for his government's controversial package of welfare cuts ahead of a probable vote next week on an amendment seeking to block them.

The prime minister said this moral case is that "the current system doesn't help those who want to get into work".

He added: "It traps people. I think it's 1,000 people a day going on to personal independence payments (PIP)."

Watch: Battle over welfare reforms explained

PM: Number of people on benefits is unsustainable

Downing Street said today that a vote will likely take place on the "reasoned amendment" - backed by more than 100 Labour MPs - next Tuesday.

Defending the policy, Starmer said: "The additions to PIP each year are the equivalent of the population of a city the size of Leicester.

"That is not a system that can be left unreformed, not least because it's unsustainable, and therefore you won't have a welfare system for those that need it in the future.

"Those that care about a future welfare system have to answer the question - how do you reform what you've got to make sure it's sustainable for the future?"

Sir Keir Starmer has suggested the UK can reach its new 5% of GDP defence spending target by 2035 without raising taxes on "working people".

Asked if this is possible, the prime minister said such commitments hadn't involved tax rises before.

He said: "Every time we鈥檝e set out our defence spending commitments, so when we went to 2.5% in 2027/28, we set out precisely how we would pay for it, that didn鈥檛 involve tax rises."

For context: That rise is being funded by a controversial cut to the overseas aid budget.

Starmer continued: "Clearly we鈥檝e got commitments in our manifesto about not making tax rises on working people, and we will stick to our manifesto commitments."

For more context: Labour promised not to raise income tax, VAT, or national insurance contributions. They ended up raising the last of those on employers, but not workers.

Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden has said the national security strategy is "clear-eyed and hard-edged" about the challenges the UK faces.

In a statement to the Commons, he said: "When the prime minister spoke to the House in February, he promised to produce a national security strategy that would match the scale of the task ahead, and the strategy we publish today does that with a plan that is both clear-eyed and hard-edged about the challenges we face."

McFadden explained that the first priority is to "protect security at home, and we will do that by defending our territory, controlling our borders and making the UK a harder target for our enemies".

He also pledges to "promote strength abroad" and "increase our sovereign and asymmetric capabilities".

"This means bolstering our collective security, renewing and refreshing our key alliances, and developing new partnerships in strategic locations across the world. It also means a clear eyed view of how we engage with major powers like China."
