💥 Sacking Olly Robbins has spectacularly backfired on Starmer. A civil servant only 3 weeks into the job was never going to unilaterally override security vetting on a politically sensitive appointment unless he believed the PM wanted it done. Now Robbins, freshly sacked and with nothing to lose is about to give evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday. Starmer just handed his own potential executioner a public platform. The “we were kept in the dark” defence is crumbling. This accelerates the whole thing.

Alex Wickham: Exclusive: Iran Has Limited the Impact…

Exclusive: Iran Has Limited the Impact of US Strikes, Intelligence Says Pre-war planning meant Iran’s military was able to mitigate the impact of US-Israeli strikes on its weapons arsenal and leadership, according to Western military intelligence assessments — which also say it retains the ability to respond if the ceasefire fails. Tehran has sustained massive damage to its infrastructure and its most senior leaders have been killed. But operational planning undertaken in anticipation of the conflict was effective in preventing the destruction of its missile and drone capabilities as well as maximising the impact of its military response, people familiar with the assessments said. Plans put in place by Iran to replace senior military leaders in the event they were killed meant the country was able to minimize disruption to its command and control structures when they were targeted in the first days of the war, the people said. It also appears that Iran retains solid reserves of long-range missiles, according to assessments provided by European and Gulf officials. It still has thousands of drones in its armoury, the people added. These provide a much more nuanced picture of the outcomes of the US-Israeli operation than that portrayed by Trump and US administration officials. The effectiveness of Iran’s earlier military planning also raises the prospect that it could use the current ceasefire to make preparations for any resumption of hostilities.

Liz Webster: My heart bleeds for Boris Johnson…

🤡 My heart bleeds for Boris Johnson. Public opinion has shifted: 55% would now back rejoining the EU. Nearly two-thirds want closer ties. But Bozzer still says: “I love Brexit, I love Brexit” and calls rejoining “bullshit”. Meanwhile, in the real world: Retirees face visa hurdles in Spain. Car production is at 70-year lows. And global energy shocks from the Gulf are hammering household bills. “It is what it is,” apparently. And David Frost still insists there’s been no damage. That’s the disconnect. The country can see what’s happening. Those who delivered it are still pretending nothing has changed. https://thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sack-boris-johnson-i-love-brexit-i-love-brexit/

Liz Webster: For one of the most sensitive diplomatic…

For one of the most sensitive diplomatic posts in the UK system: 👉 Either PM Starmer knew about the risk and signed it off 👉 Or he didn’t know and that’s a failure of oversight 🔥 There isn’t really a third option that looks good. This is about control. Politicians are responsible for decisions. Keir Starmer told Parliament full vetting was followed. Now we’re told security concerns were raised and officials overruled them and the Prime Minister didn’t know. So who is actually accountable? Because if ministers don’t know when security advice is overridden, then decisions aren’t being made by elected politicians at all. #MandelsonEpstein

Chris Williamson: Sir @Keir_Starmer…

Sir @Keir_Starmer 's Labour Party is desperate. Here's @SteveReedMP , one Starmer's key lieutenants, resorting to bogus anti-Semitism smears against @TheGreenParty activists. The same smears that were used to destroy Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. But it won't work this time and it won't save Labour from the electoral massacre that they're going to suffer in next month's local elections. In addition to Steve's obvious desperation, there are some other factors that put his bogus anti-Semitism allegations into context. ▪︎ Steve is a supporter of Israel. ▪︎ Steve has participated in @_LFI delegations to Israel. ▪︎ Steve is on record saying he has a "longstanding commitment to Labour Friends of Israel". ▪︎ Steve has received donations from pro-Israel lobbyists.
