Probably. Thought the difference being that the UK hasn't been bombed since WWii. Iran is in a world war hotspot..

Trump rips up Iran deal. Then bombs Iran.
Trump's soft on Russia. Europe has to rearm.
It's almost like...Trump is the problem. ๐Ÿคฆ

The collapse of the biosphere and the climate might cost us a penny or two. ๐Ÿ™„
The Tories are a denial party hiding behind zetzero hostility.
Zero urgency on climate action. Twitter is ablaze with surveys saying its speeding up, the last few days.

The North Sea is a total red herring. It contributes money to the treasury, but has no effect on bills or oil usage. It's mostly sold abroad.
So they're talking crap.

It's always been part of their MO to dangle the possibility.
Meanwhile Israel won't admit it has one, even though everyone knows they have.

The Rest is Politics relaying that there have been over 100 complaints about American commanding officers briefing that this is 'a holy war, part of God's plan and Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran, cause Armageddon and mark His return to Earth.'

The British national interest is not getting involved, as much as is humanly possible, in another wayward foreign war.

Badenoch gives a borderline disgraceful performance at PMQs on Iran | John Crace At times like this you have to thank your lucky stars that the opposition leader is not in Downing Street

It's a bit late for nuance Kemi. You blew it yesterday, student politics is all you're capable of.

I don't think I've heard a stupider reaction from Rory since you started the pod. Starmer's position is nuanced. Too nuanced for Rory it seems. He may be talking to wonks lost in their own data, but the general public seem quite clear on what's happening, and support it. If polls believed.

No you're not defending Iran Evan. Just backing Badenoch's moronic warmongering position.

No, we'll end up with hung parliaments. Like most of Europe.

Given the utter failure of polling in Gorton, hardly their first massive misjudgement, maybe we shouldn't put such faith in polls.
