Reeves Slams Trump's Iran War, Seeks Energy Price Relief

On April 1, UK Chance the Rachel Reeves is straight up furious about President Donald Trump's

decision to launch a war against Iran, calling out the lack of any clear exit plan.

She says it's already hitting folks hard with rising inflation, slower growth, and shrinking

tax revenues, all while energy prices spike from the chaos.

Tensions between the UK and the U.S. are at a boiling point after Prime Minister Sir

Keir Starmer held back from full involvement.

Trump slammed Starmer for not letting U.S. forces use UK bases for offensive strikes, though

they got the green light later for defense against the Iranian missiles.

Rees went bolder than Starmer in her BBC Radio 2 interview, stressing the government

is watching oil and gas flows closely to ease prices.

Opposition parties are piling on, demanding no value added tax on energy bills, scrapping

the upcoming fuel duty hike, and more subsidies to shield.

Households from July's price cap reset.

Meanwhile, Reeves and Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds huddled with supermarket leaders

to tackle cost of living squeezes and beef up supply, chains talks called constructive

by retail bosses.

Starmer is pushing for tighter economic links with Europe amid the mess, drawing fire from

conservatives and reform UK who say it's weakening Britain.

On the horizon, Foreign Secretary Evert Cooper host a virtual huddle of 35 nations tomorrow,

including Europeans and Gulf states, to plot, reopening the strait of Hormuz once

fighting Kool's key to dropping those sky high oil costs before they hammer UK wallets

even more.
