New PM Andy Burnham has ‘inherited’ Starmer’s decision to allow the US to use the UK military bases for ‘defensive reasons’, with the US military deploying a B-1 bomber from Fairford for strikes on Tehran. In response, Iran has said that it considers RAF Fairford a 'legitimate target’. James O’Brien condemns Trump and Netanyahu for putting a ‘target’ on the UK’s back. He continues to say the decision to grant the US access to UK bases ‘doesn’t feel as right’ as it did back in March.
