REPRESENTATIVES from Fifa, including its president Gianni Infantino, and the players and staff of Juventus FC, stood behind Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday as he discussed various political issues, including war in the Middle East, Iran and nuclear weapons, and the political opinions of Emmanuel Macron, Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz.

PLANNED strike action on Glasgow’s subway has been suspended as more than 100 Unite workers consider a new “interim offer” from Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT). Workers, who had already enforced a continuous overtime ban since June 13, had been scheduled to strike this weekend on June 21 and 22, with further action pencilled in for June 25, 27, and 28, amid long-running disputes over pay and “chronic” understaffing in the service.

4 days ago | morningstaronline.co.uk | Elizabeth Short

ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners scored a major victory today after overturning the approval of a mammoth industrial chicken farm near Shrewsbury. The case, brought by charity River Action and campaigner Dr Alison Caffyn, quashes Shropshire Council’s decision to permit the building of a 200,000-bird poultry unit in the River Severn catchment. The proposed site was near another facility which already houses half-a-million chickens.

PEOPLE began to flee Iran’s capital today hours after US President Donald Trump said “everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran” on social media as Israel continued to bomb the country for a fifth day.

Witnesses in Tehran told reporters today that sirens continued to blare across the city every few hours and that people were rushing for shelter.

Scotland’s manufacturing faces socialism or extinction

4 days ago | morningstaronline.co.uk | Richard Leonard

AS each day passes, the socialist argument for an industrial strategy, an economic plan, and democracy in our economy grows ever stronger. At the start of last week, I visited the last commercial shipyard on the Clyde. Ferguson Marine is in public ownership. Its record in building two new large-scale ferries for Scotland’s island communities has been the subject of much public scrutiny because of significant delays and substantial cost overruns.
US and Britain dangerously complicit in Israel’s ‘Pearl Harbour’ attack on Iran

4 days ago | morningstaronline.co.uk | Roger McKenzie

THERE is mounting evidence that the United States, Britain and key players in Europe all played a role in Israel’s attack on Iran.

The idea that any country can or will give in to threats that amount to “negotiate with us or we will kill you” is beyond ridiculous. No country can do that.
