The UK government has been utterly dishonest about its part in this hideous war. It has allowed the US to use British airbases (and Prestwick airport!) for the transit of US warplanes to the Middle East. Whatever Keir Starmer is saying now the UK has been and continues to be a material accessory to the assault on Iran, with all the resulting death, mutilation, destruction and widening chaos.
He is lying.

"For anyone committed to social justice, the saga of the Kirkgate benches is an affront to community diversity and integration. It was a violent act of social cleansing, a silent declaration that some people’s comfort is more valuable than other people’s survival"

ALT TEXT: Maggie Chapman MSP stands in a crowd, most of who are wearing black hoodies. There is a light blue and yellow sunset sky behind them. Standing close to Maggie is a person in a black cardigan, black and white keffiyeh, keffiyeh-style mask and sunglasses, holding a sign which reads "Refugees Welcome" above their head. Maggie is wearing a bright green t-shirt, a black, white and green keffiyeh, and has cropped grey-brown hair, tanned white skin and thin framed glasses.
ALT TEXT: The person holding the sign in the previous image holds it in one hand with their other around Maggie Chapman's shoulder. Their face is mostly blocked by the sign. Maggie is smiling widely, looking into the camera.
