The BBC had Starmer earlier and his statement was too late for the printed press.
The Sun hasn't mentioned any of it
Although as a desert and jungle warfare group maybe not the most appropriate, it would be 27BIM who deployed to Afghanistan and are planned to be allocated to JFC North.

I was mildly surprised by this bit of analysis from Sky News:
news.sky.com
"After the damage done by the American president in Davos - and make no mistake, it was significant, with alliances further ruptured - he has now managed to amplify it with comments that are as disrespectful as they are false.
To suggest that coalition forces fighting with the Americans in Afghanistan 'stayed a little back; a little off the frontlines' will also resonate far wider than debates over geopolitical realignment.
It's hard to know sometimes whether Trump is ignorant or just doesn't really care. As James Matthews and I discussed on the Trump100 podcast, it's probably both, perhaps combined too with some intentional provocation - easier for someone seemingly incapable of empathy."
I was in Helmand with UK troops. Draft 'dodger' Trump's words are a gut punch to families of those killed
Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan. It's hard to know whether he's ignorant or just doesn't really care.

Moynihan: We’re bankrolling Europe’s lifestyle. They have all these fabulous social benefits. Well, we can't buy houses and we don't have paid maternity leave…
Hinojosa: We could fix that.
Phillip: Those are choices that we make.
Lathan: You’re saying that if Europe pays that NATO bill, we’re going to European style healthcare?

Fact of the Day: General Major Bonespurs meets members of the Household Cavalry who explain what a Front Line looks like to him as part of Operation Tangerine Micro-Mushroom and the 457 reasons why he needs to apologise

Given the first sentence is wrong, the rest is pretty much just jealousy.

Indeed! Perhaps Rupert has decided Donny is now past his use-by date and is beyond all hope of salvage, and he is going to let him drown in his own filth.I was mildly surprised by this bit of analysis from Sky News:
