Epic fail, PM
SO, how much safer do you feel following the Government’s cowardly refusal to support the US-Israeli attack on Iran?
Even as Defence Secretary John Healey admitted the UK threat level in this country could be increased from “substantial” to “severe”, Iranian missiles had already been fired towards British military personnel in Cyprus, Bahrain and Iraq.
British holidaymakers and ex-pats with no links whatsoever to any military action are cowering in terror in Dubai under attack from Iran’s suicide drones.
Iran’s despotic leaders do not care that the PM’s lily-livered Cabinet sat on the fence as Donald Trump finally lost patience with the murderous Mullahs in Tehran (though Trump may well remember how we snubbed our oldest ally, and he may well remember how he didn’t need our help anyway).
What WILL make us all safer is if America and Israel succeed not only in ending Iran’s nuclear ambitions, razing their missile industry to the ground and neutering their terrorist proxies — but also in fomenting regime change.
This is not a conflict Trump has started. The religious fanatics in Tehran have been waging war on The West for nearly 50 years.

They are by far the biggest sponsors of global terrorism: The massacre of more than 1,000 Israeli citizens by Iran’s terrorist puppets Hamas sparked the war in Gaza. Iranian drones and other weapons sold to Russia have been killing Ukrainian civilians for years.
Just weeks ago the revolutionary zealots slaughtered tens of thousands of Iranian protesters to maintain their bloody grip on power.
They have been torturing and murdering their own people and destabilising the Middle East and the wider world for decades.
If the Government thinks waging war against Iran brings risks, it is nothing to how catastrophically dangerous it would be if the madmen were allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
That is why Operation Epic Fury is necessary.
Spring bodge it
RACHEL Reeves will be desperate to herald economic good news in her Spring Statement tomorrow, if only to try and draw a line under the Government’s litany of failures.
Talk of the green shoots of recovery, however, would be more impressive if ministers hadn’t mowed flat all previous growth with their anti-business policies.
Now the Chancellor says she wants to cut taxes “once economic conditions allow”.
That’s political speak for “just before the election, to try to bribe people with their own money”.
We look forward to any tax cuts – but voters won’t easily forget how they were bled dry beforehand.
