Very good. Such disgrace from the @gmcuk and full solidarity with @GhassanAbuSitt1

The world economy's dangerous dependence on oil has been starkly revealed during the US and Israel's war on Iran

There's still time to ask your MP to sign @HackneyAbbott EDM the Iran conflict, the US naval blockade and price inflation https://t.co/EhpgrOov01

Polling against increased arms spending rockets when it’s made clear it will be at the expense of welfare, NHS spending etc…

[Des Freedman @lazebnic]

Pleas for an increase in defence spending will be at the heart of tomorrow’s #NATO summit and loyal lieutenants in the UK media will be cheering this on. Meanwhile the 30% opposed to this are totally written out of the headlines 1/

The media/military complex not happy that Starmer has only promised £15 billion extra to the beleaguered military and their friends in the arms trade.

Also, shockingly he still hasn’t made clear which social programmes are going to be cut to fund the last £5 billion.

This was today.

Thanks to @LabourOutlook for some great coverage of the international conference ✊

[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

Security, defence and the implausible threat from Russia, constantly talked up by ministers, generals and arms companies, are now the main ways the state has of justifying attacks on social programmes, welfare and working class living standards in general in favour of still more weapons of war

[Jonathon Shafi @Jonathon_Shafi]

Couldn’t agree more with Kevin on this. Austerity to fund arms spending and a war drive is being presented as a fait accompli. It is far from it - and opponents should be represented in the media and politics. Anti-war opinion is strong and equipped with a proven track record.

If only the people who actually care about education and the university could actually run it…

[Chris Nineham @ChrisNineham]

This is really shocking. @LloydsBank needs to reinstate the Canary and explain what on earth has been going on…

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

BREAKING: Canary debanked by Lloyds

Lloyds have debanked the Canary with no warning or explanation, putting the outlet in severe financial crisis

"We're here for peace, we're here to stop wars"

"All these wonderful people, it gives me hope"

We asked our deputy president @jeremycorbyn, along with delegates, what the international conference against war meant to them.

[Chris Nineham @ChrisNineham]

Good to see the Guardian registering anti-war sentiment for once.

[Feyzi Ismail @phaisie]

'Very scarily, climate change and wars are both hotting up – and the opposition to destruction of the planet and its populations has to be a collective working-class one. There has to be a fundamental change to the system...'

Some thoughts on the ‘transition’ to a new pm.

[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

Never mind the cost-of-living crisis or the collapsing services he leaves behind, Starmer wants to be remembered as the man who ramped up spending on weapons

@ChrisNineham writes ahead of the release of the Defence Investment Plan

[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

Last weekend we hosted 3k people in the iconic Central Hall to demand an end to militarism and war

The conference was an amazing show of solidarity and defiance. But it was also expensive!

Help us cover the costs. Pls donate 🔽

What I don’t understand is; how can these people be SO wrong, SO often, over a period (in her case) of Half a Century and no one ever takes them aside and tells them? Instead, they just keep paying her vast sums to carry on being wrong.

It’s insane!

Happy to have contributed this on the links between the English Revolution & the American Revolution of 1776 to Jacobin’s 250th American Revolution issue. There’s more than this 1k word piece, so a longer version, inc. American Levellers, is coming soon. https://t.co/g6BSxYEtlJ
