Summary
N.B This episode contains content that some listeners may find distressing
As the shocking events in the Middle East continue, the rocket reflects on the impact of Israel’s declaration of War on Hamas, and how that can affect the UK and the rest of the world.
Liam draws shocking parallels to the Yom Kippur War and thinks there could be a danger of the conflict having a significant impact on oil prices, subsequently leading to the cost of living crisis dragging on for longer than expected.
Whilst Allison raises her concerns of the rising tensions at home between groups of supporters attending marches in solidarity.
Joining your co-pilots on the rocket this week is IDF soldier Ben, who gives his personal account of the harrowing chaos happening in Israel and how the group are furthering the support for civilians on the ground.
And Velma makes a return to the rocket with some interesting by-election facts..
