The Truth About Trump's Big Iran War U-Turn | News Round-Up

from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker

In this news round-up of the week for Friday May 8th, 2026. It turns out that President Donald Trump's about-turn on Project Freedom had even less to do with his fake stories than we knew. Trump's replacement tariffs for the ones that were judged to be illegal have turned out to also be illegal. The UK prime minister Keir Starmer is fighting for his political survival after the UK local elections were exactly what the polls had said they would be - in other words, terrible for Labour. And President Putin is to preside over a much scaled down Victory day parade in Moscow as he is apparently terrified that new Ukrainian drones will gatecrash the party.
