UK won't do it because they don't want to do it. They burnt their bridges with the EU, they will never get back in as they realise the next right-wing government would promptly leave again
UK is a Billy no mates how hangs about with the bully (USA) to give the illusion of status and despised for it

Has this been verified as not AI generated and from frame-by-frame analysis as a Tomahawk missile?
Help appreciated

The USA's war aims regarding Iran are therefore politically and militarily unachievable.
Their only option is to engineer a failed state status instigate internal tribal and sectarian conflict.
I cannot see the Iranian people falling for it.

Iran's Population.
93.2 million
To give a comparison here are the nearest sized countries in Europe's populations.
Turkey 86-88 million
Germany 83–84 million.
United Kingdom 69–70 million.
France 66–69 million

So what is the task the USA faces since change from within is not going to happen.
Iran's Landmass.
Iran
1,648,195 sq km
To give a comparison here are the nearest-sized countries in Europe in sq km
Ukraine 603,549
France 543,941
Spain498,485
Sweden 438,574

As Iran is a theocracy, the only way to acheive the USA's requirement to end the war is to have control of the country's landmass and population. This is where the challenge is for the USA. The Iranian people look upon Israel / USA as one entity with identical aims regarding Iran's future.

Donald Trump.
The only way to end the Iran war is 'Unconditional Surrender'
What does that entail?
Defeated party offers no conditions for ending hostilities, receives no guarantees or promises from the victor who holds total authority to determine the subsequent political and military future.

UK Electricity rip-off: controlled entirely by UKG who price electricity via gas! FT: electricity is VERY expensive in UK. Hse of Commons Library: in 2025 “UK electricity prices higher in UK than in every EU country (except Germany)” Yet Scotland generates most of its electricity from *renewables* 🤔

With treasury increasing fuel duty by 1p a ltr in the autumn. Which Rachel from accounts does Chancellor of the Exchequer impersonations has declined to cancel.

CANNOT be allowed anywhere near ANYTHING in Scotland.
The puppet Sarwar, as always, will simply do as he's told.
In May we need to oust
Sarwar and Baillie.
This is where voting #SG2
will have a notable impact.

This thread is a benchmark for how to debate an important subject on a List SNP or Scottish Green with mutual respect. Listening to posters concerns and addressing them with no abuse or name calling.
It is the only way any voter can reach their own conclusion.

And then came the Internal Markets Act.
S35 of the 1998 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Act.
Boris Johnson.
Alister Jack.
All of the above ‘allows’ the 🇬🇧 gov to override legislation passed by the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Parliament, even if it is deemed to be within the Parliament's legislative competence.
Independence?
Let’s get there.

Thats fair. That is the reasoning for me broaching the subject, hopefully the Scottish Greens pick up on it.
It was damn stupid of them.

Both lots need to give themselves a shake about how they interact.
The reason for my concern to give you a bit of background. Called while back at a Scottish Greens stall chatted away and lugged in to them talking to folk. Few of them badmouthing the SNP something rotten.
Try that with me its GTF

I don't think its unreasonable. Scottish Greens success depends on SNP voters doing a big thing and trust another party with their vote. It's a big ask!
That puts the onus on the Scottish Greens. Its the real politic of the situation.

Am swaying towards SNP 1 Scottish Green 2 after much thought and consideration.
It is there for the Scottish Greens - but and it's a big but. How they carry themselves during the campaign will be the clincher.
Constructive criticism of the SNP is reasonable, but go over the line - forget my vote.

Always nice to have some historical perspective. George very ably providing some on Iran.

As Trump is now learning from the Israelis "you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity"...

Evidence suggests the deadly blast at an Iranian school was likely a US airstrike More than 165 people were killed, most of them of children, in the blast during school hours at Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School, according to Iranian state media

Scotland consistently produces more electricity than it consumes, largely thanks to our renewable resources. Yet, the data shows Scottish businesses are facing industrial electricity prices at 27p/kWh, significantly higher than their counterparts in Finland (6p), Sweden (7p), & the EU average (14p).

By not refusing they were not invited as the Scottish NHS is designing and implementing their own bespoke system.
Hope this clarifies.

Total Unconditional Surrender nullifies that stance in International Law and leaves them open to prosecution through facilitating the USA's war aim.

The Legal "Rubicon"
Under international law, the UK has been operating under Article 51 (Self-Defence). However, "unconditional surrender" is not a recognised objective of self-defence.
UK's Narrow View justified the use of RAF Akrotiri and Diego Garcia specifically to destroy launchers at source

The UK has giver permission for the USA to operate B2 bombers for defensive missions from RAF Diego Garcia and RAF Akrotiri.
However, since then the USA have changed their war aim to 'Total Unconditional Surrender'
Now that is the big problem in International Law for the UK.

The answer to that is what do the CIA and Mossad have on Wes Streeting.

Thank you, you are very kind. Happened to be researching the subject for a couple of days and the Daily Record article was perfect timing. The more I dug the more it stank!

The USA did not take part and cancelled at short notice.
FYI

In Summary:
Wes Streeting is now on record that the above are deemed 'Nationalist'
The timing on this is to set up the narrative to run an ongoing SNPBAD smear. It may well be what BBC Scotland run this weekend.
Perfect opportunity to turn the smear against them.
Information is power!

Palintir is embedded within the CIA and Mossad it's beyond doubt or dispute.
Founded in 2003, and was significantly supported by In-Q-Tel, the capital arm of the CIA.
Israel's MOD/Mossad inTel Aviv since 2015 and formed strategic partnerships to supply artificial intelligence and data mining.

Opponents worry about the potential for patient data to be accessed by foreign entities or used for purposes beyond direct patient care, such as enforcement or surveillance.
