“I do not see why Parliament was not read in to the situation… so they could exercise that oversight and scrutiny”
Mike Martin MP says the Afghan data leak + superinjunction expose a wider MoD culture of cover-up. Without democratic scrutiny, accountability suffers. Afghanistan is a case in point.

Reparations May Be Within Reach in a Ukraine-Russia Deal
Historical precedent and financial leverage indicate a negotiated route to delivering reparations for civilian harm in Ukraine is possible.
As the U.S. administration pushes for a third round of Ukraine-Russia peace talks, Michael Raff and @mglattimer.bsky.social argue that historical precedent and financial leverage offer hope that reparations for conflict-related harm may be attainable in a future deal.

1/2 What does today's #StrategicDefenceReview mean for civilians? Increased military capability can bring increased risks. It’s vital that #CivilianRights, protection and accountability are at the heart of defence policy, ensuring that the UK upholds its responsibilities under international law.
