This is dangerous talk, he should be reprimanded for it.
The United Kingdom is releasing five Muslim terrorists accused of planning an attack on an American airbase.
They should just officially rename themselves the United Islamic Kingdom and get it over with.
What is clear is they are no longer a reliable ally of the United States.

If labour are genuinely serious about proportional representation they should force it through while they still hold a huge majority, not use it as a manifesto commitment at the next election

Avanti West Coast picked up tens of millions of pounds in subsidies every year while charging passengers the most expensive mile-per-mile fares in Europe. Public ownership is essential to end this egregious example of rip-off capitalism.

Liz Truss doesn't know the difference between the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. She knocked £425bn off the value of pension fund assets. She thinks Tony Blair set up the Bank of England. And major companies pay her £80,000 a speech for her insights on politics and economics.

"The activities.. we are undertaking in support of our friends in Saudi Arabia are purely defensive" The Saudis have been committing war crimes in Yemen for years, with British trained pilots in British built planes dropping British bombs. Thats what Pollard means by 'defensive'

The language of 'defensive' support is a smokescreen - the PM has committed the UK to this conflict Thousands have been killed by the Saudi-led coalition. Weddings hit, markets destroyed. International Humanitarian Law breached. The UK must not back the murderous Saudi regime.

When they say we can't afford the state pension or the NHS or any other unversal service, what they mean is they want to hoard even more wealth to add to their mountains of gold, and they're willing to let us die in the gutter rather than enjoy a retirement, to get it.

Margaret Thatcher did not 'regenerate the British economy'. She devastated the UK's industrial base, put three million people on the dole and plunged entire communities into the kind of poverty they still haven't recovered from four decades later.

What atrocities Israel commits it does them because major Western countries and the European Union allow them. Every crime against humanity, every war crime by Israel's occupation forces, every pogrom by illegal Israeli colonialists has their approval. Otherwise they would act to stop them.
