UK to allow US to use British bases for defensive strikes against Iran Keir Starmer says the UK has not been involved in the US-Israeli strikes, but warned that 200,000 British people are in countries being targeted by Iran

Is this the 16th or 17th u-turn? It's hard to keep up. #Labour www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Quick-fire on to deny Scots hold Chinnor By BLUEBELL NICHOLLS London Scottish ............. 24pts Tries: Kolade 2, Wilkinson 16, Hyde 19, Law 33 Conversions: Wilstead 17, 20 Chinnor ...............................21pts Tries: Owen 38, Moore ...

A great comeback yesterday, but not quite enough after falling behind 24-0. #Chinnor can still deliver a top five finish to the season, but we need to cut out the mistakes. #Champrugby www.therugbypaper.co.uk/latest-news/...

The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran.

What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.

you would never guess from this that Labour got 15 times as many votes as the Tories in this (otherwise disastrous) election

Worst ever Tory result in a Parliamentary by-election 🀣(according to Curtice). Keep doing what you're doing Kemi.

interesting that new Green MP Hannah Spencer talks almost entirely about public services, cost of living, NHS, the grind of making ends meet....

and hardly ever mentions ecological/environmental issues....

this is the pivot that scares Labour the most
