Never before in the history of our country has a president started a war of this size without making any effort to convince Congress or the American people.

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?

“We’ve learnt the lessons of Iraq,” says Keir Starmer, as he backs another illegal US-led war in the Middle East.

If he really believes this is right, he should put it to a Commons vote tomorrow.

I've spoken to a lot of scientists & engineers who are confident that clean air in schools would improve kids' mental focus & reduce transmission of potentially deadly airborne infectious diseases. Will the Lib Dems join us in asking the Government to listen to & act on the science?
#CleanAir

Scientists talking

We cannot afford politicians who treat scientific consensus as a matter of opinion.

Keir Starmer redefining offensive as defensive. This is a slippery slope and risks letting Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East
Starmer must come to Parliament tomorrow, set out legal case in full and give MPs a vote
The UK must not be complicit in illegal military action

Nigel Farage: The same man who built his career demonising refugees is cheerleading an illegal war that would create millions more.

Just another lapdog for US imperialism.

I am deeply alarmed that British military bases will be used in Trump's bombing of Iran - these attacks violate international law.

The UK government should be focused on de-escalation, diplomacy and a ceasefire - that's the best way of keeping people safe, not following Trump.

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

This policy is bad for community cohesion.

You don’t build confident, contributing neighbours on rolling 30 month visas. The current 5‑year route is how people plan for the future and fully join our communities.

The Danish model won’t work here.

Pope Leo urges a halt to ‘spiral of violence’ across Iran and Middle East Pope Leo prayed that “diplomacy may regain its role and promote the good of the peoples who yearn for a peaceful coexistence founded on justice.”

“War is back in vogue, and a zeal for war is spreading….The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.”

It's time to take the next step to support Ukrainian children in the UK by introducing formal language qualifications, including bringing back the Ukrainian GCSE.

No more offering Ukrainian children a GCSE in Russian.

😱

Isn't it a tad reckless to assume this will all just blow over?

International Relations Is Not a Morality Play: What to Expect From the War With Iran The Trump administration has no plan and no path to a good outcome.

"The most relevant question is not “is this government bad?” or “do they deserve it?” The most relevant question is “will this use of military force make things better, enough to be worth the death and suffering it’ll impose?”
It’s hard to see how this will."

‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 100 children reportedly killed in school bombing The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

The willingness to pursue military action that leaves hundreds of children dead, underlines why the world increasingly views the actions of Israel and the US as such a threat to international peace and security.

Recently I visited ‘Wild Woods’ group in Walsham le Willows. Like many of the local primary school students, I even got to plant my own black poplar tree - and earned my tree certificate! The woodland is a fantastic example of community-led nature recovery and a wonderful space

HOPE IS HERE 200K GREEN PARTY MEMBERS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE169GQ

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Green Party has over 200,000 members.

More members, more councillors, more MPs.

The Green Party just keep growing.

Join us ⤵️

The problem is Labour keep repeating the vicious far-right narrative on immigration rather than offering moral leadership. And Labour keep repeating the baseless billionaire-owned media narrative that Reform will inevitability form the next Government.

The first tool of those who wish to destroy democracy is to attack its very principles.

Let’s be clear: Gorton & Denton was a free & fair election where the Green Party won.

A democrat congratulates their opponent & moves on.

Farage & Reform U.K. are the Orban’s & Trump’s of Britain.

Labour must cease taking progressive voters for granted, says Sadiq Khan London mayor criticises PM for calling Greens ‘extreme’ after Gorton and Denton loss, saying it is a ‘flawed strategy’

"Sadiq Khan challenged the prime minister’s branding of the Green party and its policies as “extreme”, saying many of its supporters shared Labour’s values but were disappointed in the government."

Hope Beats Hate: Green Party Defeats Reform and Labour in Huge Gorton and Denton By-Election Victory A concerted political and media campaign to scare voters about a “Green Menace” winning this by-election failed, reports Adam Bienkov

“In a battle between hope and hate, hope has won.”
Congratulations to new MP Hannah Spencer!

So happy. I was worried it might be close or that Reform might even win. I should have had more faith. Well done Hannah and I hope it's the last we see of Matt Badloss.

was considering doing this plot and luckily @colinmacpherson.bsky.social has already done it!

this is the main thing - the anti-Reform vote was so high that any split between labour and the Greens would have beaten Reform.

Hegseth directs review of US war colleges to ensure they are “once again bastions of strategic thought, wholly dedicated to the singular mission of developing the most lethal & effective leaders & war fighters the world has ever known”

He wants a military machine that won't question illegal orders

Product placement. Get your very own stupid war hat now at the White House Gift Shop.

"Major combat operations" is the new "special military operation". Absolutely no one believes this was a legitimate preemptive strike in the face of "imminent threats".

What does ‘overeducated’ mean and why should that be a threat? Could it be the ability to analyse and challenge the baked-in self-entitlement, prejudices and resentful horseshit of the right?

🤣🤣🤣

Here is the timeline on its own (easier to zoom in)

With the UK recently losing its measles elimination status, we need to look at all factors impacting vaccine take-up.

Serious conversations need to be had about how we respond to actors spreading misinformation that puts public health at risk.
