Trump rebukes PM again; UK repatriation flight takes off
US President Donald Trump again criticised Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over UK actions regarding the Iran conflict. Trump said Starmer was "not Winston Churchill" because the Prime Minister initially did not let American planes use British bases for strikes. Meanwhile, the UK government is sending a repatriation flight from Oman's capital, Muscat, at 7pm for British nationals. Government authorities are making arrangements for possible significant evacuations, as 130,000 British nationals in the Middle East have informed officials of their location.
