US - Iran talks called off - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.24am post the following, " US-Iran talks in Switzerland called off "

Let's Get Real: 

The tricky problem of Israel still in Lebanon, the MOU is not popular in Israel and neither is Trump.  The people of Israel think they have been sold out by an ally.  At least Israel is standing up to Hezbollah and Iran, that cannot be said of the Trump Administration.  Trump is a TACO President, a chicken in other words.

Burnham WINS Makerfield and Starmer to stand in any Leadership Contest - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 10.07am post the following, " Starmer says he 'will stand' in any Labour leadership contest "

Let's Get Real:

Thus the clock starts, will Starmer fight in his bunker or go with grace?  So far enjoy the popcorn, it looks like a fight between Starmer, Burnham and Streeting.  When will the candidates fire the gun to start the race, next week when Burnham officially becomes an MP or will someone jump the queue? We shall see.
