END the war in the Gulf now, British political leaders told President Donald Trump, after voters overwhelmingly rejected the Republican Party in the US midterm elections.Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the results, which saw Democrats surge to control of both houses of Congress by significant margins, meant it was time to “de-escalate” Mr Trump’s war against Iran.He was speaking amid anxiety that the erratic US president might decide to lash out after his political setback, though it is clear that the war cost the Republicans millions of votes in the elections.
