UK-US Air Base Plot, Labour's Healey Under Pressure, More
Summary
UK police are investigating a potential terrorism plot near RAF Fairford, a key base for US strikes on Iran, after five men were arrested. Meanwhile, Iran rejects US demands to open the Strait of Hormuz, keeping global oil prices and bond yields under pressure. In the UK, Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces criticism over the cost of free social care as he pushes for a new industrial age. Additionally, the US and China agreed to slash tariffs on $30 billion of imports, while rising corporate leverage in Western Europe signals growing financial stress.
