Starmer's Mandelson debacle is a convenient distraction from the facts that he knew RAF planes were gathering intelligence to help the IDF commit war crimes, that supporting the USA in attacks on Iran wasn't “defensive” and that UK-produced weapons are still being used by Israel to kill civilians?
A non-executive director of BAE Systems says what?
Apparently any US blockade will suffer the ire and wrath of the UK government as well..
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
I would like to announce that I now too am blockading the Strait of Hormuz.
This is really going to help the republican cause (the UK one, not the US one).
Nice idea, it could be part-funded by tariffs on goods imported from USA and Israel.

NEWS! Melania Trump expertly distracts media away from disastrous Iran war back to Jeffrey Epstein newsthump.com/2026/04/09/m...
Boy is she going to be cross with Egypt when she finds out about what they've been charging to navigate ships through Suez.
The government isn't able to quell the Israeli regime's bloodlust, so it attempts to justify it, accepts it and then ignores it.
If you don't stand against it you're complicit.
Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.
The US military has 22 sites in the UK.
Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.
This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.
The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.
‘This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.’
UK here - possibly a strongly worded letter suggesting FIFA's inaugural Peace Prize is returned.
So that's why he's not been seen in public since Friday - he's going to reappear soon and claim resurrection.
Still, it's a better way to celebrate Easter than symbolically murdering another Palestinian.
It didn't start with Trump, but it is peaking under him...
BREAKING: It is now antisemitic to ask Israel to pay for its own missile defence system instead of Americans with no healthcare paying for it
If there was a BAFTA for Party Political videos I'd nominate this...
You'll be astonished to learn that the self-described "Free Speech Union" recently took out a court injunction to prohibit publication of a list of its donors...
But @petergeoghegan.bsky.social reports it has gained "significant sums from a vehicle linked to... donors to Tufton Street think tanks"
Amazing how the media can tell you all about human rights abuses in Iran, but when the US is causing people on ventilators to die in Cuba, there is radio silence. Apparently, human rights only matter when we need an excuse to start a war.
They must like killing civilians as much as the Americans do. Surely, if they didn't like killing civilians they'd stop.
That argument that if the UK reduces NHS spending it can provide more for defence doesn't stand up either.
