2 more A-10s landing at Lakenheath. They are from a different squadron (74th) from the other 18 that passed through the base earlier this month (124 & 127 FW).
There are probably going to be more arriving in the next few days.

“Nuclear deterrence keeps us safe.”
“It’s purely defensive.”
“Everyone believes in it.”

Screen grab of sections of Guardian article by Richard Norton-Taylor. Text reads: UK’s armed forces are in a sad state – and they have only themselves to blame.The MoD shows little sign of learning from its mistakes – no wonder the Treasury is reluctant to agree to its demands.

A great response to the recent calls to cut welfare spending to fuel Britain's war drive.

Nuclear weapons cost up to 25% of the MoD's budget - with many projects behind schedule (with rising costs) or uncosted (F-35A). We need more scrutiny not less!

Former NATO head pressures Starmer to cut welfare to fuel war spending - CND A former British head of NATO and co-author of the 2025 Strategic Defence Review has called on Keir Starmer to cut welfare spending further to fund Britain’s war drive.

Making further cuts to public services – at a time when we are facing even greater attacks on living standards due to the US illegal war on Iran – would be disastrous.

Our response to former NATO head's call to cut welfare to fuel warfare 👇

Every day, children are killed or injured in conflicts like Gaza and Ukraine, a tragedy made worse by the states behind the violence being armed with nuclear weapons.

In a nuclear war, children would suffer most. Learn more: https://www.icanw.org/children

A fragile ceasefire is being trashed. Israel has killed hundreds in Lebanon. Trump's veiled nuclear threats against Iran shows why he must be stopped. Britain must act now. #Sanctions #ArmsEmbargo #BreakwithUS #HandsOffIran Register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wJFE...

CND condemns Israel’s brutal escalation in Lebanon. This is a breach of the ceasefire agreement with Iran and the US. European leaders, including Britain, support Lebanon as part of the ceasefire. We need action. End all arms sales to Israel. Britain must break with the US now.

Projectile hits near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, killing one: IAEA Tehran says it is the fourth attack near the nuclear plant amid the US-Israel war on Iran.

‼️ICAN condemns another US/Israel attack on the Beshehr nuclear power plant - such attacks are reckless and explicitly banned under international law - as our ED @melissaparke01.bsky.social , has said this aggression has to stop before there is a nuclear disaster.

Reports that Iran has shot down a US F35 fighter jet from RAF Fairford is more shocking evidence of British bases being used in Trump's illegal war. Starmer must end use of all UK bases now!
