"Fund the armed forces, or there’ll be trouble."
That's what the defence and armed forces ministers were telling the Labour government with their shock resignations on Thursday.
Between 2010 and 2012, the Ministry of Defence wasted £13bn of taxpayers' money, writes @AyoCaesar. But as ordinary Brits struggle to pay their bills amid welfare cuts, the UK's warmongers are demanding even more public money.

It was a pleasure to welcome the @womblesofficial to Parliament to celebrate World Environment Day!
Thank you to everyone who came along to support the event.
@SangitaMyska@pedroban5@ZackPolanski I hate to contradict a journalist of your standing but there is no accusation sitting before ICJ, instead there have been 2 rulings 1 that the occupation of West Bank and Gaza was illegal and 2 that Isreal was committing genocide
@PaulKohlerSW19 so the Lib Dem’s are now a sabre rattling war mongering party. So glad I ditched this pathetic bunch of unprincipled scoundrels who have demonstrated you are like all the others. Principle abandoned once in power
This would be simply unforgiveable.
With an aggressive Kremlin and an unstable White House, Starmer must show leadership.
We are calling for the use of defence bonds to raise £20bn to end this stagnation.
@EdwardJDavey Oh you pathetic war monger. Listen to yourself. Assume your pension is in defence companies. If I ever needed a reason to justify leaving the Lib Dem you have just handed it to me
@Keir_Starmer They failed just like you. They won premiership by cheating again just like you. Why don’t you just disappear into the political obscurity you so richly deserve
A customs union with the EU is critical to growing the economy.
My party’s amendment to the King's Speech called on the Government to begin negotiating one as a matter of urgency to slash red tape for businesses, cut import costs & help bring down the prices of everyday goods.
@YvetteCooperMP They won’t like that. The hundreds of thousands of bribes paid to Labour by Tel Avi was supposed to make sure you were silent. No mention of genocide I see so I guess the bribes are working
@EdwardJDavey Why did you abandon Rejoin then? Were you a pandering to the knuckle draggers to get votes? I vowed I would never vote for a party that wasn’t unequivocally Rejoin so you forced me to vote Green, who I have now joined as the only party with a conscience
There is no more damning indictment of Andy Burnham than his constant refrain he wants to save Labour; rather than the country he aims to lead. https://t.co/rdqFETMVod
@PaulKohlerSW19 But you don’t honour the men women and children slaughtered in the Gaza genocide. £2000 buys a lot of complicity. Hope you can sleep at night
I wonder @PaulKohlerSW19 whether you agree that the petition that got 114k signatures to debate the Isreal should be ignored. I guess the answer is yes as you benefited too
Declassified UK just exposed the pro-Israel lobby's grip on the UK Labour Party. Pro-Israel lobby donated to 13 of 25 members of Keir Starmer's cabinet.
Trevor Chinn, a key figure, said: 'I've spent my entire life working for Israel.' Chinn donated to Starmer, David Lammy, Lisa Nandy, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, and Wes Streeting.
Just wondering @PaulKohlerSW19 whether the whole Lib Dem image is crumbling. Complicit in PO scandal as we knew and silence on genocide influenced by Isreal
Lobby
Ed Davey: Greens are extreme populists & LibDems represent British values like decency
Like being PO minister & ignoring Alan Bates & then pocketing a huge amount of £ working for a law firm defending the PO against attempts by sub-postmasters to get justice? Decency like that?
@PaulKohlerSW19 another question. What is your position on Palantir’s contract with the NHS givens its links to human rights violations? Do you believe this is a suitable company to be running the NHS database?
