CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump “lost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

Has Starmer allowed the US to use the UK bases for the Iran attack? I hope not

The UK is thankfully not involved thus Starmer should focus on getting UK citizens in the region to safety. He can do a presser when there is something to say about that

Trump has called on Iranians to rise up and overthrow the Islamic Republic. At the same time he offered immunity to all regime members who “lay down their arms”

Starmer is about to chair a Cobra emergency meeting on the situation in Iran following the start of attack by US and Israel. The UK says no UK armed forces are involved.

If Labour does not change direction very soon, it will suffer a massive defeat at the next GE with Starmer or without him. The recent byelection shows where public opinion is heading.
