Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

There are few things more important than challenging the narrative that international law is irrelevant. If power is all that matters then what is our justification for condemning Putin's attack on Ukraine.

NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases.

Leader Ed Davey says:

“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”

Another miscalculation. It isn't necessary to support a bad war illegally launched by a deluded President who has less of a plan that the US had when it went into Libya or Iraq.

Graphic branded “Bradford District Green Party” showing five smiling Green Party members standing arm-in-arm on a stage with a green backdrop. Overlaid is a Metro newspaper-style headline reading: “The Greens’ Gorton and Denton by-election win was about inclusion — not sectarianism.” The article is labelled “Opinion” by Mothin Ali, published February 27, 2026. At the bottom, a green banner reads “join.greenparty.org.uk” alongside the Bradford District logo and imprint text.

"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.

"Most political parties don’t get that, but the Greens do."

Green Deputy Leader @mothinali.bsky.social writes in the Metro.

Farage shipped in a millionaire from a billionaire funded TV propaganda channel. @greenparty.org.uk fielded a local plumber helped by hundreds of unpaid volunteers. That is why the Greens won. Sore losers!!!!

‘Cash cow’ Send schools backed by firms linked to Bono and Sheikh Mansour Analysis shows private equity funds, including offshore entities, are making millions while councils struggle to meet Send demand

Private equity companies linked to Manchester City owner, and Bono making millions in profit through taxpayer-funded special needs schools.

20%+ profit margins. Children are cash cows.

Councils pay up to £350,000 a year to support pupils.

Money ends up in offshore tax havens.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: Iran's defiant leader's grip on power ends Iranian state TV confirms the supreme leader has been killed on the first day of massive US and Israeli air strikes on the country.

Khamenei ran a nasty regime that needed changing. But regime change is what the Russian's tried in Ukraine. No nation can decide to murder the leaders of another without UN backing. It ended badly in Libya and Iraq. This President got elected promising no more bad wars.

China's policies to advance vehicle remanufacturing Targeted subsidies, industrial zones and funding are propelling the vehicle remanufacturing sector

China adopted the circular economy
as a national priority since 2009 recognising it can generate growth decoupled from resource use. This case study covers growth in the vehicle remanufacturing sector. www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-exa...

It is no longer possible to rely on the US under Trump. It is like trying to rely on Hitler in 1936. He is a serious enemy not any kind of friendly ally.

The intelligence the US use comes from North Yorkshire between Skipton and Harrogate on Menwith Hill which is covered in spy satelites

It is painful and difficult for the UK to split with its long time ally of the US but it is necessary to face the reality. What the US under Trump stands for is completely unacceptable from an ally and normal for an enemy. We have to behave accordingly and end the alliance immediately.

The US isn't the backbone of NATO. It is an enemy of every decent value the members of NATO claim to stand for.

By-election candidate won seat because of her strong local connections MOST people would agree that we need our MPs and councillors to be firmly rooted in the communities they represent instead of shipped in…

The Greens selected a local plumber and fielded a team of willing volunteers. Reform parachuted in a wealthy TV presenter from a bought and paid for propaganda channel. Starmer blocked Burnham. No wonder @greenparty.org.uk won by 4,000 votes.

Brilliant comment in @yorkshirepost.co.uk making it clear that liberation delivered from outside Iran will always involve the best interests of the invaders not the best interests of the Iranian people. Unfortunately behind a paywall.

And don't forget folks that the British government will have authorised the use of intelligence gathering, flight routes and military bases located on British territory. Starmer is complicit in this dangerous illegal adventure.
