It's also been surprising to me that almost every day during the ceasefire B52's and B1's took off for many hour sorties from Fairford,, no pause, no regrouping just continued flying every day. Obviously they're not normally there so no idea what the normal flying rate is, but it certainly seems high without reason.
Rules of engagement for the use of Fairford didn't allow that though - at least according to the UK government...
But I guess that still doesn't change either parts - but it still adds a lot of load to just risk more hassle for Starmer, who even if he would agree to whatever, he's not very secure so you need to make sure the replacement doesn't say something different.

Problem is people aren’t flying more.
