Labour literally stand for nothing don't they? Just more Tories wearing a red tie instead of a blue one.

Caroline Lucas @carolinelucas.bsky.social · Jan 24

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

Hope all my friends and family in Ireland, Scotland and the North West have battened down the hatches and are keeping safe!

Well, I'm a bit rubbish and haven't been using this app at all.
About time that changed, though.

In May, we issued a demand for the incoming British government to uphold the judgements of the ICC and ICJ.

We reiterate our demand today.

The UK must enforce these warrants and unequivocally support all efforts towards justice.

Uphold the judgments of the ICC and the ICJ

The International Court of Justice is currently hearing South Africa’s genocide case against Israel and an international case on the legal status and consequences of the occupation. The ICC’s Chief Prosecutor is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The incoming UK government must commit to enforcing these warrants if issued and to upholding both courts’ judgments.

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Yoav Gallant and Benjamin Netanyahu and the Hamas leader Mohammed Deif.

Farage can't even represent the constituents of Clacton. Why does Mandelson think he'd represent Britain's interests in the US?

It is horrifying. I cannot think of anything more disgusting in the world than using nuclear weapons against a people.

CrémantCommunarde @cremantcommunarde.bsky.social · Nov 21

It is driving me mad, Fleur. Being called pro-Putin for opposing escalation is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever seen on social media (although being called pro-Hamas for being against the Gaza genocide is also pretty rich as well).

Really struggling with the sheer volume of people out there that seem to think escalating to nuclear war is some kind of joke.

I remember her from that mini-series of Cracker where she was abused by a religious minister played by the superb Jim Carter. Wasn't surprised to see her in Hollywood films shortly afterwards. She is outstanding.

The Prime Minister should make a statement, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia. Full statement below.
