UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will chair a meeting with representatives from the Bank of England and the government’s emergency response committee on Tuesday to discuss the impact of the US-Israel war on Iran. “Tomorrow I’m chairing a meeting of COBRA [Cabinet Office Briefing Room] on the impact [of the war], bringing in people from the Bank of England, so that you can be sure we will stand by working people in this crisis,” Starmer told trade union members today. “I have to level with you about Iran, because the truth is, the economic consequences could still be with us for some time,” he added, citing fuel as an example of where prices have already risen.
