Seems to me that the Israelis and Iranians are quite sensibly scaling down each tit-for-tat retaliatory action. It won't be long before they're exchanging paper planes, or simply calling each other names.
A lot of commentators are making much of the fact the Iranians could overwhelm Iron Dome with low cost drones, retaining the more expensive and highly destructive stuff for once Iron Dome runs out of ammo, which is estimated to be after 5 days of constant attacks. However, it's not as simple as that - Israel still have the upper hand, as it could nuke Tehran on day 4.
In another story, not content with changing the definition of an unsafe country into a safe country, legal immigrants (aka refugees) into illegal immigrants, they're now redefining the meaning of long term sick to fit for work, with political commissars in the DWP making the decisions, who will be set targets of the number of people who they have to force into work, regardless of their actual condition, rather than people who actually know about illnesses. Not only that, but using the numbers they're bandying about, they're redefining economically inactive, which means a host of things (including early retirement), as long term sick. One wonders, given the Parliamentary Tory Party's sleaze problem, when they'll change the definition of fraud to entrepreneurialism.
You know there's a crime called wasting police time? I think there should be another for governments - wasting the public's time. This government is not Conservative - they're ghouls wearing the clothes of true Conservatives and have hi-jacked the Conservative Party.

I believe it's called Thatcherism.
