In the UK things are better than ever Conservative donors call for May to stand down over 'bullying' by Johnson quote:Following an ill-fated conference speech and rumours of a backbench plot against the prime minister, two wealthy supporters said the party must act quickly and install another leader. Tory ministers privately agree Theresa May should go, says Grant Shapps quote:Some cabinet ministers privately agree Theresa May should step aside, a former Conservative party chairman has said, as pressure grows on the prime minister to call a leadership election.

Didn't Bush also genuinely plan for Iran as soon as he 'succeeded' in Iraq but his abject failure got him stuck at phase 1?

IIRC Truman had a great relationship with Mossadegh and invited him to speak to the UN several times in an attempt to rally public support for Iran. Once Eisenhower was in as president he initially wanted to maintain good relations with the Iranians as well but British coercion, the CIA and the Cold War pushed him to approve of Operation Ajax. It's a loving tragedy.
