Wow. 'Two of the people familiar w/ the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” “...the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops”...' edition.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

There is something uniquely Scottish about the amount of vandalism and willful fire raising in Scotland..not that it doesn't happen in the rest of the UK but Scotland has a degree of vandalism & lawlessness just not seen through huge swathes of the rest of the country..

This happened in Trumps last term or something similar after an attack on a base in Iraq.. then with some adults in the room and no direct Israeli impact the US showed commendable restraint .. now - no adults in the room ( in fact nutters in the room) and the Israelis are running wild.. so who knows

Is anything more illustrative of the total failure the Tories were than HS2?
I have linked above to the Hansard version of the speech, as that contains the full damning assessment of the Tories legacy. The version on .gov.uk has had to be sanatised to remove 'political content', haha.
