Planet Holyrood 25/06/25 - Iran, Israel and Labour's rebellion over welfare cuts

Iranian officials have vowed to "decisively respond" after it accused Israel of violating the ceasefire between the nations. The country's Supreme National Security Council said its armed forces were ready. Donald Trump blasted both countries, claiming "they don't know what the f***k they are doing," in a furious rant to reporters live on air.

At home, Scottish Labour MPs have hit out at the "threats" being made to "strong arm" them into backing the UK Government's benefit cuts. More than a hundred have signed an amendment against the £5 billion welfare reforms. This would be enough to bring down the bill. Will Starmer press ahead regardless?
