Let's Get Real:

How will Trump Oval react, it will depend if there are any injuries or deaths at the US base.  The ceasefire is very fragile, it really depends if the sides want a deal, or is this shadow boxing before a return to War?

Trump Not Satisfied with Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has said he is "not satisfied" yet with the terms of the deal being negotiated with Iran. "

Let's Get Real:

Thus we know less than this morning, the Cabinet Meeting was ALL PR.  The two sides are playing games, neither wants to look weak, Tehran has to worry about Regime supporters and Trump is worried about the Mid Terms in November.  Neither side should over play their hand or we will back to bombing by the US and drone strikes by Iran.  

Sir Tony Blair highly critical of Labour Government - Update

Daily Mail: ( Hard Copy ) Reports that Sir Tony Blair is highly critical of the Starmer Government.  The former PM states that Britain is heading towards relegation and Labour has gone to its comfort zone on the left and is to anti business, and hikes taxes to support welfare.

Let's Get Real:

The Labour Party won't listen to a very successful Labour PM and leader.  The Party has gone left, it feels morally superior to everyone else.  They will never cut welfare as Labour members are to left wing, also we have an unofficial Leadership contest going on.  Starmer in political terms is a dodo, whistling pass the political graveyard.  Wes Streeting is seen as to much of Blair supporter, why Andy Burnham if he wins Makerfield by election is seen as best suited by Labour members.  They won't listen to Blair after Iraq.
