I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Deeply unsatisfactory response talking ONLY about Financial Interference. Of course that matters, but the UK govt needs to look much wider & frankly needs to stop prevaricating & start looking at ALL aspects of interference. It is dereliction otherwise. Tories avoided it, Starmer must not.

In the same way the invasion of Ukraine motivated Finland & Sweden to immediately request full membership of NATO, both for their safety & as statement, Starmer should consider making an emergency request for the UK to rejoin the EU. The post WW2 peace is over. We live in a time of sharks & food.

An enormous dereliction of duty by Starmer's government. Covid is a continuing problem that is becoming an economic nightmare. Catch Covid three times and you have almost a 40% likelihood of being left chronically ill. Long Covid is why the disabled benefit system is becoming unaffordable.
