UK PM Starmer to discuss Iran war impact with Bank of England

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host representatives from the Bank of England tomorrow at a meeting of the government’s emergency response committee focused on the impact of the war in Iran.

“Tomorrow I’m chairing a meeting of Cobra 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 says in a speech to trade union members.

“I have to level with you about Iran, because the truth is, the economic consequences could still be with us for some time,” he adds, citing fuel as one example of where prices have risen already.
