Prof. Robert Pape:
"I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history".
BREAKING: UK to cut international finance on climate & nature
Seemingly under cover of the war on Iran, out comes some bad news
Reminder that govt were warned last year by UK’s spy chiefs that collapse of ecosystems could seriously impact national security

In an interview with BBC, Green Party leader Zack Polanski described the US and Israeli attack on Iran as “illegal and unprovoked” and warned that the UK government risks “dragging the country into another illegal war.”

British “soft power” RIP etc

Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are now at 430 ppm, the 'safe level' is 350 ppm
Even when emissions are eliminated, we still need to get atmospheric concentrations back down again
How? This is a nice explainer of six main approaches
I actually really love this one

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
We now face being dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East which has now pulled in multiple countries. People in this country do not want this and it must not be allowed to happen.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.
They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.
We do not have serious people running our country.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Are the US and Israeli strikes on Iran legal under international law?"
John Healey, "We weren't involved in the strikes"
Laura Kuenssberg, "Were they legal under international law?"
John Healey, "It's for the US to explain the legal basis they're operating under"
Zack Polanski, "John Healy won't condemn US/Israel attack on Iran"
"I'm worried that the UK will be pulled into another illegal war"
