Well, I for one am extremely relieved that the line between the "defensive" strikes Keir Starmer said UK bases could be used for, and offensive ones is so clear-cut, and that we can trust the US to respect it on every sortie. Phew! ukaviation.aero/raf-fairford...

The prime minister said the US would use UK bases for the "specific and limited defensive purpose" of destroying Iran's missiles "at source"." Just so that's perfectly clear. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm sorry but who did he tell it to?

Himself, us, the Orange baby that specifically said about US made missiles the Iranians had them and bombed their own school and then admitted... He didn't know anything???

Or the commanders who needing a facility will just use it and then cover up any misuse as they do anything that doesn't suit!
