The move came as President Trump resumed using RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to bomb Iran after Andy Burnham granted permission, sparking threats of retaliation from Tehran. Trump used Fairford extensively to bomb Iran earlier this year during Keir Starmer’s premiership. The US air force sent so many combat flights from Fairford that its supply of bombs was running low,…

Andy Burnham PM has already upset millions across Scotland and Wales before he steps into Downing Street (figuratively, at least, since he apparently plans to live elsewhere). With his various pronouncements, as he tries to convince the people of Britain that he plans on “doing politics differently” from all the predecessors who promised the same, he’s forgotten some key areas. Enough BurnhamPM ‘polemics’ Firstly, BurnhamPM made the egregious error of referring to the nations of Scotland and Wales as “the regions.” Wales’ governing party Plaid Cymru directly called Burnham out online, stating: But Wales isn’t a region, we’re a country.
