Ed Davey, "Did Trump break international law by attacking Venezuela"
Keir Starmer waffles like Boris Johnson used to waffle, a pair of cowards #PMQs
Ed Davey, "The Prime Minister just looks ridiculous when he won't tell the truth that Trump has broken international law"
Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨
Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.
“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”
That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.
This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.
What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.
For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.
More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.
The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country. Venezuela has become a repressive dictatorship & urgently needs a democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.
Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.
Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.
BREAKING: Zelenskyy rebukes Trump’s statement that “Russia wants success for Ukraine” in the most direct way possible. Zelenskyy says that he doesn’t trust Putin and that Russia doesn’t want Ukraine to succeed. This is obvious to everyone but Trump.
#PopeLeo: "If all of us, at every level, would stop accusing others and instead acknowledge our own faults, asking God for forgiveness, and if we would truly enter into the suffering of others and stand in solidarity with the weak and the oppressed, then the world would change."
🚨If you win the Olympics by cheating, no one asks how much did it help.
You cheated.
You’re disqualified.
Brexit was won through Cheating.
& only a small group benefited.
Alongside Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and other partners, the UK condemns the approval of 19 new settlements in Palestine by the Israeli Security Cabinet and calls for this decision to be reversed.
International law must be respected in pursuit of a lasting peace. 👇
GB News has been found guilty of breaking Ofcom rules for the 6th time.
It is only 2 years old, has broken the rules 6 times, doesn't pay tax, is owned by someone living in Dubai.
And is currently begging for £30m to pay its bills.
RT if it is time to revoke their license.
Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
