We agree with Daisy Cooper MP: in the face of increasing global threats, we must focus on building ties with the reliable allies on our doorstep, Europe. Rejoining key European security programmes would ensure that the UK is once again involved in shaping Europe's security agenda.

Tell the AI giants to stand together against killer robots The US Secretary of War is on a rampage. He’s trying to bully the world’s top AI companies to rip out their safety guardrails and "tailor" their models for Trump’s military. He wants to turn AI into a

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

You could pretty much say that about all his political stances. He’s basically playing moral and ethical Twister. With Trump. I’ll let that image sink in.

The Iranians have outmanoeuvred Trump. He expected retaliation, not punitive strikes on other states aligned with the West. It’s the Samson defence: bring the whole temple down.

This is why a child should never be in the White House.

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.
