Starmer's vision quest

[First Aspect]

How many journos actually know anything about their so called subjects?

Everyone at the FT is a world leading expert and we must accept what they say implicitly.

A couple of seconds research discloses this is for collective security.

In other words is to counter racist and Islamophobic attacks.

Bah, facts.

That tax headline seems to have irritated both the left and the right.

That is generally a good thing imo.

So, allegedly Starmer has refused Trump permission to use 2 bases, Fairford & Diego Garcia to launch strikes on Iran.

If Trump ignored this & used either or both bases, what in practice will Starmer do?

Theoretically he could kick US off bases, but that won't happen, so what will Starmer do?

My guess, nothing. Soon to find out one way or the other. The alternative is simply to use other bases. 😉

"We’ve been posting today about how BBC Verify has been using flight-tracking websites to monitor US military aircraft moving across Europe towards the Middle East...Aviation photographer Finley Neville-Jones contacted us last night with pictures he took at RAF Lakenheath, an air base in the English county of Suffolk that hosts US Air Force units.
The photographs show at least six F-22 Raptor fighter jets. The FF tail code on the aircraft indicates they came from the US Air Force’s 1st Fighter Wing based at Langley in the state of Virginia.
Sam Wise, aviation analyst at intelligence firm Janes previously told us that these advanced jets with stealth capabilities “aren't regularly deployed to the Middle East because they're fewer, high value assets”.
The photographs also show multiple US Air Force F-15s. The LN on their tails mean they belong to the 48th Fighter Wing which is based at RAF Lakenheath."

If FT wind up NF, they’re ok by me.
