Andy Burnham in a Economic hole over Defence-Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.10am post the following, " Team Burnham 'furious' over defence shortfall - and why it could be more than £4.7bn "

Let's Get Real:

PM Starmer is being pushed out by Andy Burnham, thus he is leaving him a explosive political present.  The UK could be at war with Russia in a few years over the Baltic States or Poland.  Thus WW3 could be around the corner, and the UK is not ready, due to Conservative and Labour failures over the years.  Thus PM Andy Burnham needs to learn fast.

Iran Refuses talks with the US - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Iran refuses new US talks until MOU conditions implemented, Hormuz stays under Tehran's control " 

Let's Get Real:

Here again Tehran is playing the US, they want to see how far they can push Trump Oval.  Trump Oval promises the furies on Iran but never follows through, Tehran Regime knows it is safe, that Trump will never take action, that Trump is more afraid of the Mid Terms and the Democratic investigation will happen should they take the House.  The War was a strategic blunder that was made worse by Trump not following through, if Trump did not have the backbone he should not have started the War in the first place.

Mere 2% bounce for Labour under Andy Burnham - Update

Daily Mail: Reports that the Labour has only gained 2% in the polls since the expected Coronation of Andy Burnham as PM, a YouGov poll found Reform on 20%, Conservative on 20% and Labour on 20%.

Let's Get Real:

Thus there will be no quick election, Burnham will never risk losing so many Labour backbencher MPs, only got the job as PM because Labour MPs fear losing under under Sir Keir Starmer.  Thus Opposition Parties will have to wait in till 2029/30.  If WW3 does not break out before that due to the Ukraine War, and Putin on the backfoot in the Ukraine.  There is always the erratic President in the White House, you never know with Trump!

MOD wanted 28 Billion, PM Starmer gives them 15 Billion - Defence Update

BBC News: Reports 11.02am post the following, " Almost £80bn on defence per year by 2029, Starmer says "

Let's Get Real:

The MOD wanted 28 billion in case Putin's Russia does something in the Baltic States or Poland, to draw attention away from fuel shortages due to the STRIKES from the Ukraine and the War in the Ukraine not going well. PUTIN is on the backfoot, he needs to make sure the people support and not demand his head, as was the case of Tsar Nicholas II.   As in 1905, and loss of Port Arthur lead calls for reform, the same could happen to Putin.  Thus the UK's MOD needs the money from the future PM Burnham.

Are there talks in Doha between the US and Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports on a disagreement between Iran and the US on a planned meeting in Doha over the MOU.

Let's Get Real:

The Revolutionary Guard is playing Trump and his Administration, POTUS so wants a winning deal that he is living in his own World.  The Trump Oval wants out of the WAR he started, he has no understanding of Middle East politics or culture.  As in the US there are hawks and Doves in Iran, the Hawks are the Revolutionary Guard, the Doves in Iranian terms is the chosen secular Government.  The talks are meant to be about Iran's nuclear stockpile, Tehran wants to talk about the MOU and its meaning.  The Trump Oval is being played by diplomatic masters!

US and Iran Stand Down over Strait of Hormuz - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US and Iran have agreed to "stand down" following an exchange of strikes over the past few days, media reports cite a US official as saying. "

Let's Get Real:

Thus it seems that when Trump talks tough he does not mean it, the threats seem to frighten Tehran, that is a good thing, why any one would be afraid of Trump is beyond this blogs Understanding or reason.  The US Navy cannot stay near Iran forever, to make sure they keep to their word.  The Tehran Regime will ACT when the US Navy has left or Trump is no longer in power or his powers have been curtailed by a Democratic Congress after the Mid Terms!

Trump's threat to Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 10.27am post the following,  " Trump says US may be 'forced' to 'complete the job' "

Let's Get Real:

Trump should finish the WAR he started, losers do not look good in the history books! Trump is a chicken, he writes cheques he can't pay.  HOW many times has Trump threatened to erase Iran, he always bottles it, the Allies WW2 destroyed Axis powers, not talk to them as VP Vance suggested on Meet the Press.  Obama had the Assad Regime in Syria, they crossed his red line and he did not ACT.  Trump is another Obama, WEAK.
