“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

Not been on here for the last 5 months or so. Checking back in though now because I think Bluesky provides a space for open and safe discussion of events and ideas that I have been missing.

Pitching to publishers now: LEECHER, a series of novels about a gigantic leech that slithers into various small American towns, attaches itself to the necks of various bad guys & criminals & sucks their blood until they die, before slitering off. I'd write these under the pseudonym "Leech Ild".

Dr Ellie Chowns MP @elliechowns.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader. He supported it then, and he should support it now.

Dear Prime Minister,
In recent days we have seen a deeply concerning escalation in conflict in the Middle East
following a series of illegal and dangerously irresponsible airstrikes on Iran by the United States
and Israel.
You have now confirmed that UK bases will be used by the US for their operations in the area.
This is a significant concession to President Donald Trump and one which risks drawing the UK
into a dangerous conflict.
During your campaign to be elected leader of the Labour Party, you spoke compellingly about
learning the lessons of the Iraq war. In particular, you set out legislation you would pass as
Prime Minister, ensuring that military action is only taken if:
• The lawful case for it is made
• There is a viable objective
• Consent is given by the House of Commons.
We agree that such legislation is needed to prevent the UK from being dragged into destructive,
illegal and dangerous wars abroad, and so we have today tabled the Armed Conflict
(Requirements) Bill.
The Bill requires that
1. Before armed forces may be deployed for armed conflict, a Minister of the Crown must
publish a statement setting out the reasons for the deployment, an assessment of its
compliance with international law, the objective of the deployment and an assessment
of the viability of that objective, and
2. Any such deployment must be approved in advance by a resolution of the House of
Commons

I invite your support to pass this bill.
In an increasingly unstable world, it is more important than ever that decisions about the UK’s
involvement in military action abroad are taken carefully, soberly, and with the best interests of
the British people at heart. We believe this piece of legislation would ensure that.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Ellie Chowns MP

Oh. My. Goodness. British politics just cracked wide open. The cosy Tory-Labour duopoly that has lasted for over a century is now over. Yes, it's "just one poll". But the first stone trickling down a hillside can still presage an avalanche. Ignore at your peril.

The problem with HMG’s position is that saying “we’re only involved in defensive operations” requires all of us to conclude that Trump and Netanyahu are trustworthy partners.
