Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Naqoura, South Lebanon right now.
Civilian homes.
No military target.
No justification.
Just pure terror and destruction.
This is a war crime in broad daylight.
And the world watches in silence.

Data is from Wikipedia cited as from being from 2022. There's a page for the Cons and Lib Dems but less evident how recent the data is, although in 2014, CFI stated that 80%(! ) of Conservative MPs were members.
Basically, Trump is saying other countries must help him open the Strait of Hormuz or he'll keep sabotaging their economies.

Anyone surprised by this story has been living in a fantasy world. Since Jan 2025, the Trump administration has been using lots of different tactics to force Ukraine to commit strategic suicide. This is just the latest.

Renewables and energy savings, with the right investment and political backing, *can* replace fossil fuels
This lowers pollution, cuts people's bills and ends Europe's dependency on imports from authoritarians who would extort the EU

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.
