"The women who changed the system so I could be here"

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.
When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

Some British newspapers now seem more interested in pleasing American readers than reflecting British opinion.

35 years ago today, Pet Shop Boys released their hit medley of U2's “Where the streets have no name" and Frankie Valli's "I can’t take my eyes off you" as a double A-side single which also included the PSB song "How can you expect to be taken seriously?".

Keir Starmer knew about Peter Mandelson’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, yet still disgracefully handed him one of the most powerful jobs in politics and later gave him a gold-plated payoff.
If the Prime Minister had any decency, he would resign.
"There you have it, in black and white. The PM, Keir Starmer, warned in the clearest possible terms that Peter Mandelson maintained his relationship [with Epstein] after the conviction.. there is no escape from this"

SAY IT WITH US. DEFEND JURY TRIALS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties.
That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it.
The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay. It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of ‘blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.
🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.
Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.
Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Unconditionally support an illegal war, then act shocked when the consequences include higher energy prices.
Do they think the British public are fools?

The UK has followed the US into an illegal war against Iran.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

I was nine years old when a Labour government followed the US into an illegal war in Iraq, sold to the public on lies.
Twenty-three years later, we’re back on the streets opposing another Labour government and another illegal war - this time against Iran.
A city in the clouds 🌥
