SIR Keir Starmer last night insisted justice must be done as toxic influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan flew to the US.
The Tates, facing trial over rape and sex trafficking allegations, had a travel ban lifted after Trump’s aides spoke to Romanian officials.

Victims and MPs called for the Anglo-American brothers — who also face charges in the UK — to face justice here.
Speaking alongside Trump, Sir Keir said: “It’s important justice is done.”
When asked about the Tate flight, Trump told reporters: “I know nothing about that.
“You’re saying he’s on a plane right now?”
Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick raged: “We have an extradition treaty with the US and they need to cooperate fully.”
No10 avoided commenting on any extradition but stressed the PM’s view of human trafficking as “a global security threat”.
Andrew, 38, and Tristan, 36, are still under Romanian judicial control.
After landing in Florida, they said: “We’ve yet to be convicted of any crimes.” They deny all charges.
