โ€˜We deserve to know the truthโ€™: 11 questions about US bases in Britain From where they are exactly to the laws governing them, hereโ€™s what we need to know to hold the UK government accountable for Trump's use of British bases

Isnโ€™t it incredible that a foreign power can move nuclear weapons to Britain and the public not be told of this?

Itโ€™s believed the US moved nuclear arms to Lakenheath, Suffolk last summer. But UK government policy is โ€œneither to confirm nor denyโ€ this.

BREAKING: The US has confirmed those 168 school girls and staff were liberated by a Tomahawk missile and their rescuers were liberated by a 2nd Tomahawk in a "double-tap". That's two liberations for the price of one. If you don't support this, I can only assume you hate freedom.

I have an artist friend who feels they canโ€™t leave as itโ€™s an important outlet for their work. Such a shame potential customers accept being funnelled to such a limited market and so many accept being held captive.

War fuels debate in Cyprus over UK military bases โ€œBritish Bases Outโ€ is the slogan of Cypriot protesters after a drone strike targeted the RAF Akrotiri airbase.

There is absolutely no debate, the people of Cyprus want British bases gone. They were coerced into having them in the first place as a condition of independence.

When there are two sides all you have to do is choose the right side. And if the right side is being attacked, defend them. Had I mistakenly assumed that would be your approach also?

Weโ€™re not going to stand by while any man tries to make misogyny normalised in this country.

This really is a โ€˜look what you made me doโ€™ situation with the US and Israel making threats and throwing insults at any country that dares to challenge them. They have too much power. I hope NATO is making plans to deal collectively with them.

On International Womenโ€™s Day, we reflect on the importance of solidarity between women๐Ÿฉท

For over a decade, the conversation around trans rights has been used to divide women who would otherwise stand together. This weakens our ability to challenge the real sources of inequality, misogyny & violence
