BBC BREAKING NEWS

A naval skirmish occurred in the early hours of this morning in the English Channel, between the British Home Fleet and a small French task force. The British aircraft carrier Ardor and the destroyer Queen Anne were sunk, while the French lost most of their five-strong task force.

This marks a major escalation in tensions between the two countries. An emergency meeting in Parliament has been called: Prime Minister Atlee is expected to meet with Oswald Mosley. Meanwhile, the British Mediterranean fleet at Andalusia and Malta has been put on high alert. The Royal Airforce is ready to scramble at a moment’s notice.

In an official statement, Atlee has appealed to the Ottoman Empire and Danubia to respect their treaties, whilst respecting that the situation in Japan may prevent them from helping. Mosley also made an appeal, this one to Italy and Russia as “fellow Fascist states”.

Only time will tell what happens next.
