Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Looks like the radical left is dam serious! 🦫

This is a cross party statement in solidarity with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social after what happened this weekend.

Thanks to all the LGBT and Feminist organisations within all the respective parties for signing this, and it was amazing working with you all.

The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

Shabana Mahmood MP ~ @ShabanaMahmood X.com I have approved the Metropolitan Police's request to ban the Al Quds march. I am satisfied doing so is necessary to prevent serious public disorder, due to the scale of the protest and multiple counter-protests, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Should a stationary demonstration proceed, the police will be able to apply strict conditions. I expect to see the full force of the law applied to anyone spreading hatred and division instead of exercising their right to peaceful protest.

Gentlemen, you can’t protest against the war here! There’s a war going on!

For as long as Labour refuse to fix this absurd regressive situation and face down the tyranny of the anti-trans movement, they don't deserve any tactical votes

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.

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

The Home Secretary’s own MPs see through this. She is desperate and dangerous.

People are joining the alternative:

Gorton and Denton showed that people are desperate for a different kind of politics.

But Labour have doubled down: with smears, misrepresentation, and BNP-inspired migration policy.

How low will Labour go? 📉

Rachel Millward Green Party Co-Deputy Leader "Labour clearly have not learnt the lessons of Gorton and Denton. Voters showed Labour that they are not persuaded by their attempts to copy Reform's rhetoric or to blame migrants for the real challenges facing our country." Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

"Voters are looking for honesty, practical solutions and hope that things can get better."

As @rachelmillward.bsky.social explains, Labour have learnt nothing from Gorton and Denton

People want solutions - not scapegoats.

The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies.

And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe.
