Today's @M_Star_Online front page on Lib Dem proposals for a British nuclear deterrent independent from the US and the prospect of British involvement in the Strait of Hormuz.
Spoke to @PPUtoday and @CNDuk@SK_Bolt https://t.co/Ciybb8TsPh

On 28th February, the United States bombed Shajareh Tayyebeh school in southern Iran and killed at least 180 people - mostly children.
It is likely they used Tomahawk missiles to bomb 3 times.
Components of the missiles are made in Raytheon's factory in Glenrothes, Scotland.
We’re looking forward to the PPU conference & AGM on 16th May 2026 - full details to follow soon! If you’re not already a member, why not consider signing the Peace Pledge and joining us at https://t.co/q7zn9CYopj

We condemn the US-Israeli attack on #Iran. This is a war of aggression founded on lies, threatening to plunge the region into catastrophe
Every day the war continues, the prospects for peace grow more distant. Stop the bombing now!
