I’m an ex Labour member, cancelled my membership 2 days after Starmer was elected leader. This is my 4th try with BlueSky. Really. The old Twitter was gone so I left that months ago. I’m a Christian Democratic Socialist. **NO DMs PLEASE!!!*

The biggest terrorist in the world did this.
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
I am deeply alarmed that British military bases will be used in Trump's bombing of Iran - these attacks violate international law.
The UK government should be focused on de-escalation, diplomacy and a ceasefire - that's the best way of keeping people safe, not following Trump.
In 2003, we warned against the catastrophic consequences of US-led regime change in Iraq.
We were ignored — and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.
Political leaders should learn the lessons of history, and stand up for international law, sovereignty and peace.
Authoritarians wage wars to deflect public attention from their own scandals. Donald Trump is no different.
🧵Spotted at an Italian Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A family of three--Mum, Dad and Small Human (3?)--are cosied up on a picnic blanket around a bowl of buttery sage gnocchi.
Each holding a fork and tucking in.
Buttery cheeky smiles.
Live opera drifting towards them on a warm breeze. (1)
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Time & time again Starmer defends Netanyahu's criminality. Now he is directly involving the UK in a war who's legality is highly questionable led by Netanyahu.
Has the criminal underworld taken over the UK Govt?
Labour should call a vote of no confidence in the PM or face annihilation in May.
Don't forget, this whole Iran thing is to distract from the Epstein list AND his plans to cancel the midterms.
Politically, economically, and socially, things are falling apart. Every day feels like waking up midway through a minefield. You crawl forward, hoping a pocket knife can detect the buried ordnance before it explodes beneath you. jmsmith.substack.com/p/gotterdamm...
BREAKING: The people who turned Gaza to rubble, bombed a girls' school in southern Iran, and keep assassinating other countries' leaders, are complaining that Iran is violating the Geneva Conventions 👀
Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.
My newsletter tomorrow will explain how Donald Trump is plotting to use his attacks on Iran and Venezuela to justify an unconstitutional power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.
He started a war without getting congressional approval WITH A MAJORITY. Side stepping your own party means there’s no more separation of powers. It’s just all Trump.
In Trump's statement on Iran attack...
"The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war."
All because of Netanyahu.
And to cancel the midterm elections... with this fkn congress, I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
I'm ASHAMED that our UK GOVERNMENT has NOT CONDEMNED the ILLEGAL WAR started by NETANYAHU and TRUMP against IRAN.
This ILLEGAL WAR will destabilise the whole region, puts millions of innocent lives at risk and all because TRUMP needs to deflect attention from the EPSTEIN FILES.
So, Labour involves us in America’s aggression and simultaneously plans to make refugee status temporary.
Does politics really have to be this dangerous and cruel? They take such unforgivable risks with people’s lives.

Reminder that none of things that Trump and his goons want Americans to be afraid of are responsible for bombing Iran. TRUMP DID THAT.
Americans rise up against your government.
Says everything about mainstream media in the West.

Sorry for anyone affected by the violence in the Middle East and that sympathy extends to Isabel Oakeshott and her family.
Perhaps this experience will help her reflect on the fear and suffering of millions of people who suffer far far worse and are obliged to flee famine and war.
