‘Get Some Help’: David Lammy Mocks Reform MP For Repeating ‘Conspiracy Theory’ In Commons

Posted on 23/06/2025 by Boris Clair

David Lammy accused a Reform UK MP of “swallowing conspiracy theories” over a question she asked him in the House of Commons.

The foreign secretary told Sarah Pochin to “get some help” after she suggested the government’s controversial decision to give the Chagos Islands to Mauritius had played a part in America’s plans for bombing Iran.

The pair clashed after Lammy updated parliament about the worsening crisis in the Middle East.

It was thought that the UK may have to give the US permission to use the Diego Garcia air base in the Chagos Islands to launch its attacks on Iranian nuclear weapons facilities.

But in the end, the American aircraft flew non-stop from the US on their bombing mission.

Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, said: “Can the foreign secretary explain to the House whether the United States felt unable to use the Diego Garcia base … because of your deal that you did with the Mauritians, that would then tell the Chinese, that would then tell the Iranians?”

Lammy told her: “The honourable lady has got to get off social media, has got to get some help because she’s swallowing conspiracy theories which should not be repeated in this House.”

‘Downhill From Here For Trump’: Senior BBC Reporter’s Bleak Prediction After Iran Strikes

Posted on 22/06/2025 by Boris Clair

It is all “downhill” for Donald Trump from now onwards after his strikes on Iran, according to the BBC’s world affairs editor.

The US president announced overnight that America has “obliterated” three nuclear facilities in Iran, and urged Tehran to come to the negotiating table or face further attacks.

The move comes after Israel began a week of exchanging fire with Iran.

“I feel last night was a big change, a major turn of the page,” John Simpson said on BBC News. “In one major respect, I think it’s downhill for President Trump from now on.”

The broadcaster continued: “He’s losing the support of the isolationists among the MAGA-supporters, of whom there are a large if not dominant amount.

“He’s done something he promised he wouldn’t do and he’s moving against that, and I think we’ll find that his power will start to diminish after this.”

In his election campaign, Trump promised to be a peaceful president, and put “America First” by pulling the States out of other countries’ wars.

But many of his supporters now question if that is still his thinking, considering he has just pulled the US into a raging war in conflict.

Simpson also discussed the likelihood of an Iranian response.

He said: “We shouldn’t overestimate Iran’s strengths or its abilities.”

“Yes of course it can do asymmetrical attacks,” he noted, but added that these were “limited small-time” moves which are not “population-threatening”.

“We shouldn’t be too scared about Iran’s likely retaliation,” he said.

Simpson sent a similar message on X, saying: “As a result of his bombing of Iran, Trump’s presidency has entered new and much more conflicted territory.

“The US isolationist right are already criticising him. Trump could now be involved in precisely the kind of war he blamed his predecessors for.”

Trump Brags Of ‘Obliterating’ Iran’s Nuclear Program, But Top Adviser Is More Cautious

Posted on 22/06/2025 by Boris Clair

Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Dan Caine on Sunday said that while the bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites successfully struck all three targets and did “extremely severe” damage, exactly to what extent Iran’s nuclear program has been set back cannot be known yet.

“It would be way too early for me to comment on what may or may not still be there,” the career Air Force officer said at the joint news conference at the Pentagon with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

His assessment offered a stark contrast with the boasts of both President Donald Trump in remarks Saturday night and with Hegseth just moments earlier. “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” Trump said.

“It was an incredible and overwhelming success. The order we received from our commander in chief was focused. It was powerful, and it was clear. We devastated the Iranian nuclear program,” Hegseth said in remarks that praised Trump effusively while also disparaging former President Joe Biden’s administration. “Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been obliterated.”

Caine, meanwhile, primarily praised the crews of the 125 aircraft that took part in “Operation Midnight Hammer,” including the seven B-2 stealth bombers from an Air Force base in Missouri that dropped 14 “bunker buster” bombs on the underground site at Fordow, the dozens of tanker planes that refuelled them, and the fighter planes that flew ahead of the bombers to ensure their safety. He said it did not appear that any of the planes were fired upon by Iranian air defense systems.

He also praised the coordination of aircraft with submarines that launched Tomahawk missiles, with all three targets getting hit over a span of just 25 minutes.

“I want to thank every service member, planner, operator, that made this mission possible. Their actions reflect the highest standards of the United States Armed Forces,” Caine said.

In his remarks, Hegseth appeared to confirm suspicions that Trump had been dishonest in his claims that he wanted negotiations rather than a military response.

“This is a plan that took months and weeks of positioning and preparation so that we could be ready when the president of the United States called,” Hegseth said. “It took a great deal of precision, involved misdirection and the highest level of operational security.”

Revealed: How Labour’s Whips Will Try To Prevent A Huge Rebellion Over Welfare Cuts

Posted on 20/06/2025 by Boris Clair

If Keir Starmer wasn’t already aware of the strength of feeling among Labour MPs at the government’s plan to slash the welfare bill, it was brought home to him on Thursday evening.

Party whip Vicky Foxcroft – someone whose job it was to persuade Labour MPs to back the government – resigned in protest, saying she could not vote for reforms which will hit the incomes of disabled people.

In her letter to the PM, she said: “I have wrestled with whether I should resign or remain in the government and fight for change from within. Sadly it now seems that we are not going to get the changes I desperately wanted to see.

“I therefore tender my resignation as I know I will not be able to do the job that is required of me and whip – or indeed vote – for reforms which include cuts to disabled people’s finances.”

As a former shadow minister for disabled people, and a party loyalist, Foxcroft’s resignation will have sent a shiver up spines in No.10.

The government’s plans, set out in a bill published last week, will make it harder for people to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and reduce the health element of Universal Credit.

Ministers insist it will make the benefits system more sustainable by cutting costs by £5 billion, while also encouraging more people into work.

But there is widespread anger among Labour MPs, more than 100 of whom have written to the government’s chief whip, Alan Campbell, telling him they cannot support the measures.

In a bid to buy off some rebels, work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall announced that those losing their PIP will continue to receive their money for 13 weeks. For many MPs, however, this is nowhere near enough to win their support when the Commons vote takes place on July 1.

Between now and then, the government’s remaining whips will engage in a concerted campaign of arm-twisting in an attempt to reduce what at the moment is on course to be the biggest Labour rebellion of Starmer’s time as PM.

One rebel MP told HuffPost UK that more than 100 of their colleagues will abstain, with a further 50 potentially voting against.

“It might not be enough to kill the welfare cuts, but it’s definitely enough to kill Keir’s authority over his MPs,” the backbencher said.

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer shakes hands with his supporters at the Tate Modern in London, Friday, July 5, 2024.

The tactics allegedly being employed by the whips as they try to persuade Labour MPs are also proving to be controversial.

Some potential rebels claim to have been threatened with losing the Labour whip, the same fate which befell seven MPs who voted against the King’s Speech last July.

Others have been told their chances of promotion to the ministerial ranks will be zero should they vote against the government, while others have been warned that they’ll lose campaign funding come the next election.

“I’ve huge respect for the whipping process, but what they’re doing is not whipping, it’s Labour students stuff,” said one MP. “They’re trying to divide and conquer.”

Claire Reynolds, No.10′s political director, recently met with a group of Labour MPs who were elected last year and warned them against walking through the same voting lobbies as Nigel Farage.

“It’s pure tribalism,” said one MP. “You can’t run the Parliamentary Labour Party like it’s a student union. They’re trying the carrot and stick approach, but the carrots aren’t working and their sticks keep breaking.”

Luke Sullivan, who was a special adviser in the Labour whips’ office between 2008 and 2021 and is now a director at Headland Consultancy, said he doubted whether his former colleagues will really be using such heavy-handed tactics.

“No government whip would ever make any of those threats,” he told HuffPost UK. “Ultimately, every whipping operation I’ve ever been part of has always taken the view that however big the vote is, there’s always a bigger one coming down the track, so you need to maintain relationships with people.”

Sullivan said the chief whip will have a huge spreadsheet setting out where each Labour MP is on the vote, which will dictate the tactics the party employs over the next 10 days.

“At the moment, they’ve got a very good idea where people are,” he said. “As we get closer to the vote, MPs will start coming into No10 and speaking to senior staff about their concerns.

“Others will speak to the ministerial team in the Department of Work and Pensioners. Right up until and including the day of the vote, the whips will arrange for MPs to speak to whoever might be most persuasive for them, all the way up to the prime minister.

“They will be trying to sell the welfare reforms by telling MPs it about getting people back into work and giving them the support they need. It’s going to be a long two weeks.”

Former Tory MP Steve Baker is no stranger to rebelling against his own government, having regularly done so over Brexit and Covid lockdowns.

He also whipped his fellow rebels into line, so knows a thing or two about how to persuade MPs to vote in a certain way.

“There are two categories of MP – those who have firmly made up their mind and will not change it, and those who will change their mind under pressure,” he said.

“The whips will first seek to ensure the MP has understood the policy, understood the trade offs surrounding the policy and understood why the alternatives are all worse.

“They also seek to ensure the member of parliament has considered the consequences for the country, for their constituency, for their party and for themselves if they vote against the government. These are the rich seams which constitute a whipping operation.”

Baker also had some advice for the Labour whips struggling to get their MPs into line.

“Labour cannot allow their members to get a taste for it,” he said.

“If you rebel, the sky doesn’t fall in. All that happens is your colleagues are grumpy with you for a few days and then everyone moves on. Once they realise that, they will keep rebelling. This is the true horror the Labour whips face.

“They cannot once have a large rebellion, because if they do they will have many more.”

Whether they have to employ the dark arts or not, a lot rests on how effective the Labour whipping operation is in the run-up to July 1.

A large rebellion may not be enough to stop the welfare cuts, but could be a portent of even greater danger ahead for the prime minister.

MPs Back Legalising Assisted Dying In Historic Commons Vote

Posted on 20/06/2025 by Boris Clair

MPs have voted in favour of legalising assisted dying in a landmark moment for England and Wales.

The 314-291 result, which followed a further five hours of debate in the House of Commons today, means the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has taken a huge step towards becoming law.

Prime minister Keir Starmer was among those who voted for the bill.

The private member’s bill, which was spearheaded by Labour backbencher Kim Leadbeater, will now go to the House of Lords for further scrutiny, but it is highly unlikely that it will now be blocked.

Under its provisions, terminally ill adults with less than six months left to live would be allowed to legally end their lives at at time when they choose instead of suffering though a prolonged illness.

MPs were given a free vote on the issue, meaning they did not have to follow their party whip.

The bill first came to the Commons in November and has been a source of heated debate between MPs over the last seven months.

The proposals stipulate that an individual must have the mental capacity to make the choice, make two separate declarations – witnessed and signed – about their desire to die, and have approval from two independent doctors that they are eligible.

A doctor would then prepare a substance which the terminally ill person has to take themselves.

Coercing someone into ending their life would be made illegal too, punishable by a 14-year prison sentence.

During a five-hour debate in parliament on Friday, some critics expressed fears that bad actors could force the terminally ill into an early death under this legislation.

Others say they’re concerned about the procedures outlined in the bill or that they fear disabled people’s voices were not included in the consultation.

Despite these oppositions, Leadbeater said earlier this week she was confident the bill would pass because it had a 55-vote majority at a previous round in the Commons.

She said: “Most people believe, as I do, that we should all have the right to make the choices and decisions we want about our own bodies.”

The principle of assisted dying has received widespread support from the public, according to pollsters at YouGov.

A recent survey found 73% of Brits back the idea, while 72% support Leadbeater’s proposals.

Blow For Keir Starmer As Labour Whip Vicky Foxcroft Quits Over Welfare Cuts

Posted on 19/06/2025 by Boris Clair

A Labour MP has quit as a government whip over controversial plans to slash the welfare budget by £5 billion.

In a major blow for Keir Starmer, Vicky Foxcroft said she could not vote for the policy and had no option but to resign.

In a letter to the prime minister, she said: “I have wrestled with whether I should resign or remain in the Government and fight for change from within.

“Sadly it now (seems that we are not going to get the changes I desperately wanted to see.

A government spokesperson said: “This Labour government was elected to deliver change. The broken welfare system we inherited is failing the sick and most vulnerable and holding too many young people back. It is fair and responsible to fix it.

“Our principled reforms will ensure those who can work should, that those who want to work are properly supported, and that those with most severe disabilities and health conditions are protected.”

Foxcroft is the first Labour frontbencher to resign over the proposed benefit cuts, which will be voted on my the Commons on July 1.

More than 100 Labour MPs have written to the government’s chief whip making clear their opposition to the plans, which would see cuts to Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and Universal Credit.

The government’s own assessment of the policy has suggested that 250,000 people could be pushed into poverty as a result, including 50,000 children.

As Trump Weighs Up Joining Israel’s War Against Iran, Here’s A Reminder How We Got Here

Posted on 19/06/2025 by Boris Clair

Donald Trump is currently considering whether to join Israel in bombing Iran – a seismic decision which could cause chaos across the Middle East and beyond.

The UK is particularly nervous to see what the mercurial president does next, knowing that there may well be pressure for Britain to assist America, as one of its closest allies.

So as much of the West and the Middle East nervously await news from the White House, here’s a look back at just how we ended up on this knife-edge…

Why has Israel been bombing Iran?

Israel claims it had no option but to attack Iran because Tehran was close to developing nuclear weapons.

The Fordo nuclear site is one of two facilities where Iran can enrich uranium. It’s build into a mountain for safety, 124 miles south of Tehran.

While the facility has been hit by Israel’s recent attacks, it’s thought the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) was actually trying to weaken Iran’s defence capabilities around the facility.

Only one conventional weapon could actually destroy the fortified site, and it belong to the US.

Smoke rises up after Israel's attack, in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, June 18, 2025. — Smoke rises up after Israel’s attack, in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

Is Iran on the cusp of developing a nuclear bomb?

It’s not clear.

To build such a bomb, a country would need to have uranium enriched to 90%, the ability to build a warhead and a way to direct that warhead to an end point.

While Iran is definitely working on some nuclear capabilities, it has always insisted that its nuclear programme is peaceful.

In March, Trump’s director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress that “while Iran had an unprecedented stockpile of weapons-grade uranium, it did not appear to be building a nuclear weapon”.

But Trump has dismissed this intelligence.

Israel has also claimed “over the past few months intelligence has shown that Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon”.

Meanwhile, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced earlier this month that Iran had breached its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in almost two decades.

It concluded that Iran has amassed around 400kg of uranium enriched to 60% – that’s more than is required for civil nuclear use.

Is Israel a nuclear power?

Israel is believed to have up to 90 nuclear warheads, but the country has not confirmed or denied whether that is true.

Israel is also not part of the global nuclear non-proliferation treaty meant to prevent more countries – like Iran – from building their own weapons.

Smokes raises from a building of the Soroka hospital complex after it was hit by a missile fired from Iran in Beersheba, Israel, Thursday, June 19, 2025.

Why were there already tensions between Israel and Iran?

Tensions in the Middle East rose sharply in October 2023 when Iranian-backed militants Hamas crossed from Gaza into Israel and killed 1,200 people, taking a further 250 captive.

Israel declared war on Hamas, launched a ground offensive and imposed a blockade on aid heading into the Palestinian territory.

The Hamas-run health ministry say at least 54,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began.

After Israel declared war, other Iranian proxies – like Houthi rebels in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon – began to fight Israel.

The US, Israel’s most powerful friend, has helped to subdue these attacks in recent months, while other allies like the UK, continue to send Israel weapons.

Iran is also weakened after the deposition of Syria’s leader Bashar al-Assad, although that was not a result of Israeli actions.

What was Iran’s nuclear deal – and why did it fall apart?

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, was put in place in 2015.

Iran agreed with the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow international inspectors in to monitor their work.

In exchange, world powers would lift the economic sanctions it placed on the country.

The deal was due to expire in 2031 but it began to fall apart in May 2018 when Trump pulled out.

He claimed the accord was “defective at its core” and reinstated all US sanctions on Iran.

Trump wanted to force Tehran into a tougher deal which would limit Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts.

Iran rejected that plan even as the sanctions triggered a recession and skyrocketing inflation.

In 2019, Tehran began to exceed the deal’s restrictions on its nuclear programme, blaming the US for its own “non-performance”.

Joe Biden tried to revive the JCPOA in 2021 when he was elected as president, but Iran said it was waiting for the US to lift sanctions first.

When he left office and Trump was re-elected, the US was expected to resume nuclear talks with Iran this month.

However, Israel’s recent strikes have set back any potential talks.

Why would the US (and possibly the UK) join the regional conflict?

Trump initially called for de-escalation, but he has also called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and threatened to attack its supreme leader whom he claims is an “easy target”.

Asked if he would join in with the attacks, Trump said on Wednesday night: “I may do it, I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

The US may seek the UK’s permission to use the British airbase in the Chagos Islands to launch its mission.

But Trump risks putting American lives at risk if he does target Iran.

There are about 40-50,000 US troops at around 19 locations across the Middle East who could be vulnerable to attack.

Could The UK Be Dragged Into War As Donald Trump Ponders Bombing Iran?

Posted on 18/06/2025 by Boris Clair

The UK could provide military support to America if Donald Trump decides to join Israel in bombing Iran, it has emerged.

Keir Starmer chaired a meeting of the government’s emergency Cobra committee on Wednesday afternoon as the US president dropped a huge hint that he will send US bombers to the Middle East.

Among the topics discussed was whether American planes should be able to take off from the joint UK-US airbase at Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands.

After the Cobra meeting, a Downing Street spokesperson said: “Ministers were updated on efforts to support British nationals in the region and protect regional security, as well as ongoing diplomatic efforts.”

Israel began bombing Iran nearly a week ago, claiming Tehran was about to develop its own nuclear bomb.

Both countries have continued launching missile strikes on each other ever since, leading to fears of a wider war throughout the Middle East.

Trump – who yesterday called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” _ dropped his biggest hint yet that the US will join Israel in bombing nuclear sites in the country within days.

He said: “Unconditional surrender, that means I’ve had it, that means no more. That means we go blow all the nuclear stuff.”

He added: “The next week is going to be big, very big, maybe less than a week.”

Declining to answer reporters’ questions on whether the US was planning to strike Iran, Trump said: “There’s a big difference between now and a week ago. Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

Earlier on Wednesday, deputy prime minister Angela Rayner had appeared to hint that the UK would not take part in any military action in Iran.

Standing in for Starmer at prime minister’s questions, she said: “The one thing I will say is that we agree with President Trump that Iran must never have nuclear weapons.

“But we’ve been consistent in urging Iran to engage in the diplomatic process and work with the United States and we continue to support that diplomatic approach.”

Trump Rambles On And On About ‘Beautiful’ Flagpole In Front Of White House

Posted on 18/06/2025 by Boris Clair

As war in the Middle East rages, President Donald Trump found time to supervise the installation of a giant flagpole on the White House grounds.

The president watched construction workers raise the new structure on the South Lawn and turned the event into an impromptu press conference.

Trump had announced on Truth Social on Tuesday that he would be “putting up two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House,” and described it as “a GIFT from me.”

The erection of new flagpoles comes as the president weighs up whether to send US warplanes to bomb Iran in a move that would significantly escalate the conflict with Israel.

In rambling comments to reporters that essayed the tensions in the Middle East, interest rates and immigration, the president appeared pleased with the new addition to the White House.

“It’s such a beautiful pole,” he said of the first pole to be put up, noting he has one at his Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida.

“These are the best poles anywhere in the country, or in the world, actually,” added Trump, before saying to no one in particular he wanted to “wish you a lot of luck with the new flagpole.”

The president also suggested he was barred from using the word “erect” as he described the installation as a “lifting.”

“They also use another word, but I’m not gonna use that word,” he said. “Do you know what that word is? It starts with an E. Do you know what the word is? If I ever used it, I would be run out of town by you people.”

When asked about whether he would sanction air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump replied: “I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

Watch some of his remarks on the flagpole below.

Keir Starmer Facing Major Labour Rebellion Over ‘Cruel’ Welfare Cuts

Posted on 18/06/2025 by Boris Clair

Keir Starmer is battling to avoid the biggest Labour rebellion since he became prime minister after the government published details of its plan to slash £5 billion from the benefit bill.

Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall insisted the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill “marks the moment we take the road of compassion, opportunity and dignity”.

But campaigners said the legislation would be “a disaster for disabled people”, while rebel Labour MPs said attempts by the government to soften its impact on benefit claimants did not go far enough.

The government says its aim is to get more people off sickness benefits and into work by making it harder for people to claim personal independence payments (PIP) and cutting the sickness-related element of universal credit (UC).

But the government’s own assessment found that the changes will push 250,000 people – including 50,000 children – into poverty.

More than 100 Labour MPs have signed letters to the government’s chief whip making clear their opposition to the plans.

A Commons vote on the plans will take place within weeks.

In a bid to address the rebels’ concerns, the government has announced that those claimants who are set to lose out will continue to receive their money for 13 weeks.

Kendall said: “Our social security system is at a crossroads. Unless we reform it, more people will be denied opportunities, and it may not be there for those who need it.

“This legislation represents a new social contract and marks the moment we take the road of compassion, opportunity and dignity.

“This will give people peace of mind, while also fixing our broken social security system so it supports those who can work to do so while protecting those who cannot – putting welfare spending on a more sustainable path to unlock growth.”

But one Labour rebel told HuffPost UK the government’s attempts to make the bill more palatable to its opponents were insufficient.

He said: “Saying benefit claimants can keep getting their money for 13 weeks before having it taken away is like giving someone a redundancy payment – it doesn’t change the fact that you’re still losing your job.

“At the very least there are 100 Labour MPs who are opposed to the bill, and I’ve seen nothing from the government that is likely to reduce that number.

“The whips and ministers will now start reaching out and trying to persuade people to at the very least not vote against the bill, but I think we’re still looking at a sizeable rebellion.”

Another rebel MP said opposition to the bill is “hardening”.

“Lots of new MPs are gearing up to actually oppose the bill rather than just abstain, which is very interesting,” the MP said. “The chief whip has now decided that threatening people is unhelpful – horse and bolted spring to mind.”

Siân Berry, the Green MP for Brighton Pavillion, said: “With this bill the government is making a cruel, unnecessary and callous political choice.

“Recklessly pushing this bill through parliament shows that ministers are still not listening to the millions of disabled people who will be catastrophically affected by these reforms about how their daily lives really work.”

Charities representing those affected by the bill have also condemned the government.

Mark Rowland, chief executive at the Mental Health Foundation, said: “This bill is a disaster for disabled people, and we urge MPs to reject this legislation in its current form.

“It will take vital financial support away from hundreds of thousands of disabled people, many of whom have mental health problems. Previous austerity measures worsened people’s living conditions, undermined their mental health and increased the risk of suicide and premature deaths – and that’s likely to be the case here too.

“These plans will not help the UK government reduce the number of disabled people out of work. PIP is also granted to disabled people who are in work to help them meet the cost of their disability, and removing this support will make it harder for them to remain in the workforce.

“The Office for Budget Responsibility has also said there is no robust analysis showing this will encourage anyone to return to the workforce. Given that, our view is that these cuts are counterproductive and cruel.”
