It can sometimes seem like stating the obvious that the Trump regime does things that are evil, but this is evil. There's not another word for it. It is so corrosive and degrading that it will permanently disfigure the society which permits it. It is sheer barbarism.

Some more background from me on UK support for the Saudis in Yemen, in an article for @zeteo.uk written last week. Non trivial risk here that Burnham gets sucked into a quagmire, and that Yemen becomes to him something not unlike what Gaza was to Starmer. zeteo.uk/p/britains-r...

Britain’s Role in Yemen’s Brutal War Must End – And Reparations Should Follow
The war in Yemen is escalating again. The UK must end its military support of Saudi Arabia – or it could do to Andy Burnham’s premiership what complicity in the Gaza genocide did to Keir Starmer’s.
