Trump's illegal war on Iran played a huge role in his resounding defeat in the US midterms. This war has led to thousands of civilian deaths, and seen Trump threaten to 'wipe out' a civilisation. The UK government must now end its support for this war. See CND's full statement.

So get on and make some decisions !
Spend less time posting daft video clips and giving media interviews.
We'll need to spend money on Neets to get benefits down, Andy Burnham tells Times Radio’s political editor Anna Mikhailova.

Burham: "The world has an opportunity to end this war"
Britain has been used as a staging post to conduct this disastrous war of aggression.
If the PM wants to end it, he must close British territory, our airports and UK bases to the US Airforce now.

Strong pro-Israel bias among BBC bosses.
BBC executives met nine times with pro-Israel Jewish groups and just once with pro-Palestinians in first 14 months of genocide👇

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.
