Reeves’s talk of stability may be misplaced amid Iran war turmoil Attempt to project calm in spring forecast may be short-lived if living costs and unemployment keep climbing

NEW: Donald Trump launches another broadside against Keir Starmer over PM's refusal to allow US to launch initial strikes on Iran from Diego Garcia

"This is not Winston Churchill that we’re dealing with". Interesting to see how this goes down in UK given polling suggests voters agreed with Starmer

Starmer says UK will not join β€˜regime change from the skies’ on Iran PM defends use of UK bases for defensive action but says Britain has learned lessons from Iraq on need for β€˜thought-through plan’

NEW: MoD assessment is that the drone attack on Akrotiri base in Cyprus last night was launched before the PM’s statement - ie was not a retaliation for it.

But PM relented on Sunday night saying US could use them for β€œspecific and limited defensive purposes”.

US president told @Telegraph it took PM β€œfar too long” to change his mind. β€œThat’s probably never happened between our countries before. It sounds like he was worried about the legality.”

NEW: Donald Trump has said that Keir Starmer took β€œfar too long” to allow US to use UK bases to carry out strikes on Iran.

UK initially denied US permission to conduct strikes aimed at regime change from bases incl Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford, citing international law.

NEW: Keir Starmer tells MPs the UK govt remembers the "mistakes of Iraq" and will always operate on a "lawful basis" and with a "viable thought through" plan when it comes to Iran. Clear implication from PM is that he thinks the initial US/ Israeli strikes on Iran were neither.

Their work is consistently excellent.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Labour leadership truce holds for now but clock is ticking for Starmer Countdown to May has begun and dejected Labour MPs want to see in that time PM is capable of change

MY ANALYSIS: Labour leadership truce holds for now but clock is ticking for Keir Starmer πŸ‘‡
