So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Starvation as a Method of Warfare: Using the deprivation of water to "starve" or coerce a population is a war crime under Article 54 of Additional Protocol I.

They only lose this protection if they are being used to make an effective contribution to military action (e.g., supplying a military base exclusively).

The Principle of Distinction: Parties must distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects. Desalination plants are civilian objects.

Under International Humanitarian Law (IHL), specifically the Geneva Conventions, the following rules apply:

Super that #f1 is back. Merc and ferrari looking good. Yet to decide whether I like the new rules or not. Lots of strategy in energy deployment - so easier overtakes, but harder to make stick.

Coffee is amazing. so many variations in the crop, preparation, roasting, and then making the drink! Big spectrum of different flavours! (I love it!)

this is europe right now. Again re-enforcing how stupid brexit was and how our interests have to primarily be about being alongside Europe first and foremost

:-(

:-( hope you feel better soon

that would be a dangerous move for the labour party in terms of support

I don’t agree with all of their policies and some other things and nor do they have the difficulties of being in power, but a) he/greens are doing great at communication b) they are pushing the idea of ‘hope’ and positivity c) they are building a much bigger community of supporters

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Big money has bought British politics

75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men

This is beyond disgusting

As the price of natural gas spikes across Europe for the fourth time in the last five years remember those extremely clever people in Reform and the Conservatives who want to abandon renewable energy and rely even more on gas 🤡 🤡

On Iran, Tim Stanley of the Telegraph admits he's 'far happier that Keir Starmer was Prime Minister, than Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage, who are gagging for America to just invade anywhere in the world, so they can jump on the bus & join in.'

The Right are increasingly all over the place.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Of course an ISP can see most sites visited anyway (unless using vpn) since even with https in most cases the SNI is in plain text (ie address of website being visited). But it’s more effort to collect..

This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

It does feel as if they are increasingly irrelevant (were they ever? No…)

That would be useful. There are some good things about x…. (Not many)

It’s scary. I can’t see how any decent person could

In recent years I’ve had conservative, libdem, Labour MPs. To be honest all were decent, moderate, towards centre . I corresponded or met all. Decent, hardworking and listened. So yeah the main policies differed but it was less extreme times

Losing couldn’t happen to a better person. In truth avoiding the nasty party is a good result.

Reform UK's Matt Goodwin Advised the Wealthiest 1% While Claiming to Stand Against ‘The Elite' Goodwin's definition of “the elite” includes university professors and civil servants while seemingly excluding the investment bankers, asset managers and global real estate executives who pay him

Just remember - reform and friends are just after benefits for themselves and ‘people like them‘.

From the same camp that brought you the wonderful wins of brexit (aka slower economic growth, harder trade, less opportunities)

Similar any Chinese that have settled here may stick with ilr to avoid losing Chinese nationality.

This is racist and destructive

Partially the uk government will continue not to cooperate until there’s a clear threat as this action would surely be illegal(not that trump cares)

Ha ha
