Has the origin of the missile been verified?
Would love to hear how many scholars of foreign policy don’t think there have been any security or financial implications from what’s happened in Gaza.I hardly think Palestine will threaten my pension through instability or airport security for any holidays I take

What financial implications have there been from your perspective in terms of stock market activity that you could directly attribute to Gaza? I don’t think security risk ratings have increased but you can correct that if you have any indicators?
HmmmThis issue only bothers you as you personally would benefit from it
In the UK? Intelligence agencies have said the Gaza issue has been a direct cause of terror attacks at home. There were brief energy price spikes, gold has surged as a safe haven. I wouldn’t say it’s been financial meltdown in the UK.What financial implications have there been from your perspective in terms of stock market activity that you could directly attribute to Gaza?

But I would also go out on a limb and say the regional war currently playing out in the Middle East which is sending the cost of oil 10% higher and seeing British bases in Cyprus coming under attack probably also had something to do with the Gaza situation?
Are stocks and terror ratings going up your only barometer of financial and security impacts? That’s quite a simplistic way of looking at the world isn’t it?Stocks have gone up by an average of 15% a year since then haven’t they on average?
I asked if the terror ratings have gone up?
I did hear of this side of Dubai when I was out there about 15 -20 years ago,influencer=Bonnie blue.

I honestly didn’t think you’d have to resort to the whataboutism this quicklyWell so is gold prices and “brief energy spikes” pretty simplistic wouldn’t you say?
If you want to look at specific costs of war to the uk economy and if you have concerns I suggest you look a bit closer to home
The cost of propping up the failing Ukraine war effort to date and future commitments seems around £40 billion and Eu another £100 plus billion on top of that.
I would suggest also that energy costs are far more associated with the consequences of that conflict.
Major cyber attacks I’d assume have some of the kremlins fingerprints over them as well
It's obvious that rather than condemning an illegal war, we've now been drawn into directly supporting it.
Starmer is dancing on the head of a pin when he talks about allowing the Americans to use our bases purely for 'defensive' purposes, when that 'defence' involves dropping bombs on Iran.
So we find ourselves, once again, drawn into a war in the middle East, by a PM willing to uncritically support the Americans in an illegal act.
Literally no one is cheerleading for the hideous regime in charge of Iran, but surely we've seen enough history to know that it's not going to be possible to bomb a country into some sort of model democracy.
It's far more likely that either a version of the current regime survives, but in an even more hateful and vengeful state, storing up trouble for the future, or that an enormous country descends into factionalism and civil war, with significant loss of life and huge numbers of people displaced.
Have you got your England flag and Reform football shirt?Ok, so I've got myself a European Union flag, rainbow, trans, Palestine, Ukraine, ISIS and Green Party. Do I need to get myself an Iranian one? Worried if I don't have one that I'll be cancelled.

My red hot take on the situation is that both Gaza and Ukraine have made impacts on life in the UK!
On the way from some far east sweatshop made by modern slavery children. I'm hoping this new war doesn't delay my order.Have you got your England flag and Reform football shirt?

Tough one for Starmer to be fair. Iran have been windmilling and hitting various allies and countries in the region where there’s decent number of Brits. If the decision to allow bases helps to support defence on attacks on those countries then it’s probably the right call. Not sure how anyone could ever tell if they’re used for defence or attack though
It isn’t a tough one, what’s happening is wildly illegal and the aggressors involved are quoting almost exactly the same arguments used in 2003.Tough one for Starmer to be fair.

Its funny because the same people calling Blair a war mongerer, and asking for a trial at the Hague are not saying the same about Trump.It isn’t a tough one, what’s happening is wildly illegal and the aggressors involved are quoting almost exactly the same arguments used in 2003.
The notion a uk PM would condemn its biggest ally for an illegal action against a sworn enemy is just nonsense
