Update - BBC understands Iran DID try and hit Diego Garcia, but in last few days, not yesterday - so before govt announced decision to let US use UK bases to protect Straits of Hormuz

I have been in the cinema for thirty seconds and have been shown two Royal Navy ads already

I've seen lots of headlines about the jobs market in the UK. Here's the truth 👇

Breaking: Britain has given the US the green light to use RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia to carry out raids on Iranian missile sites that are attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz It's the same legal basis as before - collective self-defence - but the targets are new. They are being described once again as 'US defensive operations' rather than offensive strikes “Ministers condemned Iran’s expansion of its targets to include international shipping. They agreed that Iran’s reckless strikes, including on Red Ensign vessels and those of our close allies and Gulf partners, risked pushing the region further into crisis and worsening the economic impact being felt in the UK and around the world. “They confirmed that the agreement for the US to use UK bases in the collective self-defence of the region includes US defensive operations to degrade the missile sites and capabilities being used to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. “They reaffirmed that the principles behind the UK’s approach to the conflict remain the same: the UK remains committed to defending our people, our interests and our allies, acting in accordance with international law and not getting drawn into the wider conflict. “Ministers underlined the need for urgent de-escalation and a swift resolution to the war.”

Turns out Starmer and Mandelson’s meeting with Palantir wasn’t a meeting. Hope that’s clear.

Labour Together paid US Agency to investigate journalists who exposed its late report of donations fuelling Keir Starmer’s bid to be leader. So I did Subject Access Request to see if they had collected info on me.They had but this is what I received: page after page of redactions
