Why won't Starmer stand with Trump on Iran?

The Daily T

The coordinated bombing of major Iranian nuclear sites by American stealth bombers yesterday marked a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, amid fears that the conflict in the region could well now widen.

Iran has promised “consequences” after its most secretive nuclear site, buried deep beneath a mountain, was hit by the US. Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to the former Security Minister who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, Tom Tugendhat, who thinks Donald Trump was right to strike at the weekend, and that we should be concerned about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

And as Yvette Cooper proscribes Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, Camilla explains why she thinks Yvette Cooper is right to ban the protest group.
