Spain permanently withdraws ambassador as rift with Israel deepens Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a ​diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries β€Œover Spain's opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped.

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Awks for Tories & Reform who want to keep us hooked on fossil fuels: new @theCCCuk report shows transition to net zero will cost less than a single oil shock - Β£4bn a year - as well as delivering health & security benefits

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.

We’re growing in numbers and in strength every day! Join a positive, inclusive and progressive alliance and we can overcome the rise of hatred, division and intolerance which the regressive far right bring.

Remember: do not trust ANY government or political party that want to remove or change our human rights.

And that goes for #Labour & #Tories who want to make massive changes to them & #Reform who want to remove them completely.

I’m beyond angry, too. Both their right wing bias and obsession with the US-Israel war doesn’t reflect the nuanced opinions of the majority of people I speak with. It’s absolutely infuriating to be misrepresented in this way.

HRW accuses Israel of using white phosphorus over southern Lebanese town Human Rights Watch on Monday accused Israel of unlawfully using white phosphorus munitions over residential areas of the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor on March 3. The New York-based group said it verified and geolocated images showing airburst munitions over homes, with civil defence workers responding to fires in houses and a car.

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

Iran's Ceasefire conditions include all the things you might expect, but they also include the demand for the US to remove all its military bases from the Middle East.

Which would be great for everybody.
