Are we sure the USA is still our ally? | LBC callers

Andy Burnham has continued the UK policy of allowing the US to use the air base for 'defensive strikes'.

In response, Iran has said that it considers RAF Fairford a 'legitimate target' after the US used the base for bombing raids.

James O'Brien says the decision to grant the US access to UK bases ‘doesn’t feel as right’ as it did back in March...
