Iran's response totally unacceptable - Trump

Guardian:  Reports " Trump calls Iran’s response to peace plan ‘totally unacceptable’ as ceasefire frays....Trump expresses ire at Tehran’s reported demands, as drones strike Gulf nations and Israel warns war ‘not over’ "

Let's Get Real:

Thus Tehran was playing the Trump Oval, have they overplayed their hand with Trump.   One has to ask if the bombing will restart, or will the Blockade be given more time.  One can presume that oil prices will go up, thus gas prices will go up in the US before the Mid Terms.  POTUS will not be happy, the War going will be the background to his visit to China.  Thus his Presidential Credibility is in threads.

Iran no longer laughing at the US - Update

Fox News: Reports " Trump blasts Iran for decades of deception, says will no longer be 'laughing' at US "

Let's Get Real:

There is still no word from the White House on the Iranian response to the US peace Plan.  Tehran stated it was transferring its reply through Pakisran.  It does give one the impression that Tehran is playing the US, waiting and waiting till last to give a reply, they know that Trump is weak and the War is unpopular in the US; Trump did not sell the WAR; and Trump wants to go to China with the War solved.  Thus we wait for word.

Angela Rayner Speaks - Update

BBC News: Reports " Angela Rayner has warned that Labour faces its "last chance" after heavy election losses this week, as she backed Andy Burnham to return to Westminster " 

Let's Get Real:

Thus the soft left speaks, the Angela Rayner wing of the Party wants a return to more left wing policies, this is the reason that Sir Keir Starmer must stay.  Angela Rayner has still not cleared her tax problems, that is why she wants to delay any Labour contest, the King of North appeal is to cover herself with the soft left.  Power is taken not shared, and Real contenders do not wait.

Iranian response to US Peace Plan - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1.55pm post the following, " Iran finally sends response to US proposal to end war - state media " 

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Government has taken its time, or they are playing the Americans.  Tehran knows that Trump wants the WAR finished before his visit to China.  Thus they will want concessions for opening the Strait of Hormuz and their nuclear stockpile.  Thus we await news from the White House.

The Political Future of Sir Keir Starmer - Update

 

BBC News: Reports the following, " Surveying the scale of Labour's disastrous elections performance, the number of Labour MPs saying publicly that Sir Keir Starmer should resign or attach a sell-by date to his premiership had passed 20 by late Friday evening. " 

Let's Get Real:

Yesterday was a disaster for the Labour Party, the problem is Sir Keir, he is loathed within the Country, that is why REFORM did well, also Starmer is very pro EU, he wants the UK closer to the EU.  The Labour Party is very tribal, from the soft left to those on the right, neither side wants the candidate supporting the other to lead.  Thus no one has placed their heads above trenches to challenge Starmer.  The PM is a firm supporter of the Ukraine, this blog does not trust the mentioned candidates on the issue.  Thus Sir Keir will survive for now, bringing back yesterday's politicians is not a good idea, shows Starmer is out of ideas and does not understand the problem, its him!!

Update:Reports in its 4.54pm post below. A backbencher, Catherine West will put her name forward on Monday if no Cabinet Minister stands.  A hail Mary pass here, doubts it will be successful, RMS Starmer is heading towards that Iceberg in 2028/9.  The end of Labour?

Ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia - Update

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, "

Let's Get Real:

While the World's attention has been on the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East, the WAR that could lead WW3 has been on going, Russia hitting the Ukraine with Drones and missiles, with no concern towards innocent casualties, and the Ukraine pushing the Russians back in the Donbas.  The Russians only want a ceasefire as on May 9th they celebrate their win over Nazi Germany, the grander ceremonies of the past have been replaced with just soldiers due to the worry that the Ukraine would attack any tanks on the parade.  Also reported Putin is afraid of assassination or a coup from his own side.  That is the problem if your tyrant.

More US Strikes in Strait of Hormuz- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.34pm the following, " US jet fires on two oil tankers heading for Iran - as new clashes reported in Strait of Hormuz " 

Let's Get Real:

Thus more strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, both sides will blame the other.  Two Iranian tankers trying to make Iranian ports and thwart the American blockade of Iran.  The US is still waiting for the Tehran response to their peace proposal.  Why the delay, very fishy or Tehran is playing games and are trying to place pressure on a very erratic US President.  That is not a good idea with Trump's fingers on the trigger.
