Out now, my latest email newsletter. Yes Iran, and the long US history of bloody meddling, colonial Congo, women in British politics, and clownfish epigenetics. Varied!

Keir Starmer is giving the US permission to bomb Iran from Britain while retaining secrecy over the precise US military presence in the UK.

We believe these are the key US military/Intel sites in Britain, which include major air bases and smaller sites.

From Ambition to Delivery: How the Next Scottish Government Can Transform Health Scotland can modernise its NHS with a national patient app and faster rollout of proven technology, shifting care toward a preventative model.

In case anyone was wondering what the Tony Blair Institute is up to, they’ve just published a paper advising Scotland what to do about the health service 🚨🚨🚨
(Many of Starmer’s ideas for the NHS are EXTREMELY similar to ideas published by Blair’s org…)

Starmer says his approval for the US to use British bases to bomb Iran is β€œpermitted under international law” as β€œacting in the collective self-defence of regional allies”.

He condemns Iran’s retaliatory strikes but not the US/Israeli bombing of Iran.

"To get people to feel hope, to really understand in their hearts why politics is important, you need to speak in their own language – figuratively and literally.

The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.

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.

I have always suspected there are now many, many times more young people accessing gender-affirming healthcare than before Streeting’s puberty-blocker ban.

I recently mentioned this to a feminist lawyer abroad who told me this is exactly what happens when governments ban abortion…

Labour is trying to create a permanent underclass who can be treated like dirt and live in permanent bureaucratic limbo.

As Tony Benn said. The way they treat people like this is the way they would treat all of us if they could get away with it.

There is much to welcome in the Govt Schools White Paper, especially on supporting young people earlier.

I asked the SoS for Education to recognise that more needs to be done to improve inclusion schools & increase alternative provision for the young people who need it.

Fair pay and introduction of a national care service are votal to transform social care, says UNISON.

πŸ“’ Millions rely on social care, but the system is in crisis. Staff need fair pay and proper funding now.

It’s time for a national care service that puts people before profit.

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.

It took months of national and international debate, diplomacy, parliamentary scrutiny and public protest before Blair managed to involve the UK in an illegal war.

Starmer has done it within a single news cycle.

That's just how supine he is to Trump.

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?

Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.

The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

Photo of a timber shed that’s falling apart. The shed is to the side of a dry stone wall covered in bright green moss. That wall stretches from the foreground into the distance.  For the wall’s entire length, there is a leafy footpath on its left.  There are leafless trees in the background.
