Fox News: Reports the following in a post " Trump suggests US could enter Iran over nuclear dust removal dispute "
Let's Get Real:
As the post notes that Trump has threatened this before, as always with Trump he chickens out. It would take thousands of troops and equipment to get the nuclear dust as Trump calls it, the Tehran Regime would never agree, this would lead to a major ground conflict. Thus are we seeing another weak THREAT from the Trump Oval.
Guardian: Reports in its 12.11pm post the following, " Kyiv, Lviv declare day of mourning after 24 killed in Russian strikes on capital "
Let's Get Real:
On the Ukraine this blog does trust Sir Keir Starmer, one does not know how the Labour Candidates feel about the WAR. The Ukraine War is the WAR that if it goes wrong could lead to WW3. While the World's attention has been on other events, Russia has carried on with its bombing of the Ukraine, the deaths and destruction is taking its toll on the poor people, they carry on with their resistance to Russia.
Sky News: Reports in its 5.11am post the following, " Trump: US and China 'feel very similar' about Iran war - and have 'settled a lot' during state visit "
Let's Get Real:
This blog does not trust China whatever they say to POTUS. China view policy over decades, not the 24 hour news cycle. They are not a democracy, they are Communist controlled, they control everything going on in China, they cannot be trusted. Proof is in the budding, what China actually does that counts.
BBC News: Reports in its 1.56am post the following, " Trump says China will withhold equipment from Iran "
Let's Get Real:
This State Visit by President Trump will be described by him as a successful if China really means that it won't help Tehran with military equipment, and will be helpful over the Strait of Hormuz blockade. POTUS is not a detailed man, let's see what China actually does!
BBC News: Reports the following in its 1.01pm post, " Wes Streeting resigns as health secretary "
Let's Get Real:
Thus the game is afoot, Wes Streeting has resigned, will he declare that he is a leadership candidate to become PM. One can expect that Angela Rayner and if he can find a seat, Andy Burnham to stand. Will the PM stand and go out with some dignity, that is the question.
Update: Sky News in its 1.24pm post states that Streeting will not call for an immediate contest, wants the PM to set out a timetable for his resignation.
Update: BBC News reports in its 5.41pm post that Andy Burnham has found a seat, will the PM try to stop him again. If he does not then he knows that Burnham will challenge him for the leadership. What will Starmer do? The one thing King of North has to do is win a by - election. Reform and the Greens will make it hard for Burnham to win, the by election will be seen as a national contest.
Update: Guardian reports in its 7.00pm post that the PM will not block Andy Burnham from standing in a by - election. Vote Burnham and DESPATCH Sir Keir could be the unofficial slogan of the Burnham Campaign, the King of the North returns to the House of Commons.
Guardian: Reports in its 10.54am post the following, " Kevin Schofield, political editor at HuffPost UK, says a Wes Streeting leadership challenge is now looking more unlikely. "
Let's Get Real:
It seems that the Health Secretary has bottled it, there is nothing worse than political cowardice. The press and this blogger are fed up, do it man or tell us your not running!
Noted: The State Opening of Parliament. The King has been dragged in to the Labour psycho drama, HM had a successful State Visit to the US, his health does not need Labour Games. God Save the King.
BBC News: Reports in its 1.50pm post the following, " Starmer has 'full confidence' in Streeting, No 10 says - amid talk of leadership challenge "
Let's Get Real:
Is the PM trying to warn Streeting off and others, or is trying to get inside Streeting head to warn him off. Thus we wait to see if Angela Rayner enters the race supported by Andy Burnham, could be her Chancellor, seat in the Lords. Thus we wait the announcement from the Health Secretary that he is resign his post to run.
