American B-2 stealth bombers are expected to land at British military bases “in a matter of days” to join attacks on Iran.

The UK’s airbases at Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire, are both being prepared for the arrival of the US warplanes this week.

Donald Trump has warned Iran to expect a devastating new wave of strikes.

    For “defensive” attacks.

    Defensive attacks of aggression… Also known as offensive attacks.

    For all the bastardry of the Tories it always seems to be the Red Tories that aid America in war crimes, rather than the Blue.

      Ha, I was just thinking that!

      I bet over the last few months Kier Starmer has been thinking “well, we’re pretty unpopular right now, but at least we’ve not been dragged into an illegal war in the Middle East like the last lot”.

          You’re kidding?

          It was directly because of New Labour’s economic policies that the UK was hit so hard in the 2007 Economic Crisis.

          He absolutely trashed the economy - before New Labour there were no food banks and people could buy houses on modest wages. Before New Labour there was no student debt.

          New Labour left the country in a much worse state than they found it.
