Trump says "lots of bombs will start going off" if the US-Iran ceasefire expires without a deal.
Ok, so that means lots of bombing on Wednesday thru Friday. The oil price skyrockets. Then White House officials speculate on falling oil prices. Trump then announces the mother of all deals on Sunday.

Who controls the media? The Tories control the BBC and right wing oligarchs control most of the rest. Seeing as avoiding tax is their major concern it is obvious they will savage Labour since its instinct is to raise taxes to pay for the NHS and welfare. Not rocket science

The 2029 GE will be key. If pro-rejoin parties hammer the Brexiteers there could be a seismic shift towards an application to rejoin.
