Allowing British bases to be used in an illegal war of aggression is a catastrophic and historic mistake.
Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law.
War is not a game. This shameful decision makes Britain complicit in the devastating consequences ahead - and jeopardises the safety of us all.
@evrisupportline How do you fail to deliver twice in a row like this? No one turned up either time. Does this mean it hadn’t even left your depot? Do you have drivers?
Private schools should be abolished. They're the biggest enabler of inequality we have. Put all the richest families kids together, with the best education and the best facilities so they can network from age 4. No wonder no one else stands a chance.
It has been more than a month since we pointed out that the government was contradicting itself over its denial of genocide in Gaza.
We have still not received a response.
We know why: the government wants to hide its complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.
This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.
These cuts are disgraceful - and will cost lives.

I am disgusted by the government’s relentless demonisation of disabled people.
All so they can protect the wealthiest from paying their fair share.
Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, let’s “crack down” on corporations and billionaires evading tax instead.
Any ceasefire deal would mean the daily spy flights UK has been sending over Gaza for Israel will end.
This one arrived back at UK base on Cyprus last night after 5 hours over Gaza.
ICC needs to demand all the footage - then prosecute the UK ministers who ordered the flights.
Billionaires should not own social media platforms.
Billionaires should not run our newspapers.
Billionaires should not control our politics.
A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.
Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.
The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.
Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?
PSC Statement: The UK government must act on the ICC's arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant and #StopArmingIsrael.

“Every member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), more than a hundred countries, are now legally obliged to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they set foot on their territory.”

If you want to know how Jimmy Savile got away with it, go look at Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart’s feeds. They’re attesting to the singular humanity and warmth of Justin Welby, who covered up the sexual abuse of over 130 children for over 40 years. Country’s learned nowt
I think @Keir_Starmer should be arrested for his support for the biggest terrorists in the Middle East.
He has consistently expressed support for Israel & America.
I don't feel safe at all with him as our PM.
Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
