Iran latest: UK troops at risk? Labour MP weighs in on rising tensions and issues Trump warning

In this episode, Labour MP Tan Dhesi discusses the escalating tensions involving Iran, the US and Israel, and what the crisis could mean for Britain’s role in the region. He raises concerns about mission creep, the risks to UK personnel and bases, and whether the government has a clear strategy if the conflict deepens. Dhesi also cautions against being drawn into a wider war without a defined endgame, warning that any involvement must prioritise the safety of British troops and comply with international law. He questions whether regime change is a realistic objective and responds to comments from Donald Trump about the UK’s stance.

The episode also features Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who sets out the Conservative response to Labour’s economic and integration policies. Philp discusses welfare spending, migration levels and proposals for a new cultural integration commission announced by Kemi Badenoch. He outlines the party’s approach to national identity, social cohesion and immigration controls, while criticising Prime Minister Keir Starmer over economic management. Hosted on Acast.
