Farage says Trump’s Iranian ‘civilisation will die’ threats went ‘way too far’– UK politics live
The Reform UK leader says he is ‘shocked’ by the remarks which were ‘over the top in every single way’The Green party is backing resident doctors who are on strike. This morning the party issued a statement on the dispute from its co-deputy leader, Mothin Ali, saying:Rather than shifting goalposts or arm twisting resident doctors with threats over training places, Wes Streeting needs to get serious about resolving resident doctors long term concerns over pay, training and working conditions. The government’s 10-year plan for the NHS will go nowhere if the workforce feels unappreciated, devalued and demotivated.I think I’m going to stay out of the selection of music by different bands. We live in a free country; people are going to say things. Let’s just let people listen to the music they want to.People should choose their music and they don’t really they need advice from John Swinney unless they want to listen to The Jam or Amy McDonald.Well, the government should go on and take their decisions within their powers, but I’m not going to give a running commentary on music taste.

Can Starmer maintain ‘defensive strikes’ stance as Trump escalates threats on Iran?
As US threatens to attack civilian infrastructure, UK’s distinction between defence and attack grows harder to sustain• Donald Trump says ‘a whole civilisation will die’ if Iran ignores demandsIn Downing Street, Keir Starmer has been at pains to emphasise that he will only authorise the use of UK bases by the US for “defensive” strikes on Iranian military targets. In the White House, Donald Trump has threatened to bomb civilian infrastructure – and said on Monday that he was “not at all” worried about committing war crimes.So far in the war, Starmer’s position has allowed him to present the UK as a responsible actor concerned for regional security – but not a direct participant in the conflict on the US side.

MAGA pouts about Trump destroying GOP midterms chances: 'Every day will be hell'
MAGA influencers Steve Bannon and Eric Bolling warned that Democrats would "rain hell down" if President Donald Trump's war in Iran leads to defeat for Republicans in the midterm elections.During his Tuesday War Room podcast, Bannon cautioned that it could be "one of those days" after Trump threatened to destroy Iran's civilization in a single night."I think today is a day of hold your breath, so to speak," Bolling agreed. "Certainly in the oil market, the financial markets, and the humanitarian market, quote-unquote markets as well. All eyes are looking straight at 8 o'clock.""Let's rip the freaking band-aid off already and do it and deal with the fallout now, or don't do it and deal with backtracking," he continued. "And then hopefully, again, Steve, I've said this a long time. Hopefully, he gets this over real fast and then just really, really pumps the crap out of oil and gets that price back down to a level that it doesn't hurt us in the midterms.""Midterms, I keep circling it. It's going to be a thing. People are saying, oh, this is bigger than midterms. Tell me that November 7th, when, you know, if there's a sweep, a blue wave, and we're going back to days of wokeism."Bannon suggested that Democrats taking control of Congress would be worse than Bolling had imagined."It'll be so much worse than that," he said. "It'll be the moral equivalent of what President Trump is warning the Iranians about right now. The Democrats will immediately impeach him, but that won't come for a year and a half, and every day will be hell.""They'll rain hell down [on] the White House because these guys are Marxist jihadists, out of control."
