This is not clear. The MoD says “classified agreements” apply in some areas “reflecting the sensitive nature of specific operational activities conducted at these facilities”.

The government confirms (again) that it has long known its occupation of the Chagos Islands is illegal, and that it seeks to end it to avoid a “legally binding ruling”.

US figures from 2025 state there are 11,524 US military personnel in Britain — with the third highest US air force number in the world outside the US.

BREAKING — The UK is joining in with the US/Israeli/French campaign against independent UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
In response to a question from arch Israel lobbyist Luke Akehurst, it says it wants her comments on Israel to be “urgently investigated”.
While the govt approves Trump’s use of UK bases to strike Iran, it is denying the public basic information about the US military/intel presence here.
Incredibly, it says “the overall US force composition across its UK footprint is a matter for the US”. ❗️

The government was asked in parliament yesterday what steps it’s taking to prevent Israel’s illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank.
Foreign minister Hamish Falconer says the UK has “raised” the issue with Israel but mentions no other steps.

Yvette Cooper repeated in parliament yesterday that Iran must “never” be able to acquire nuclear weapons.
Yet when the government is asked about Israel’s actual nuclear arms, it defends Israel by refusing to acknowledge them.

The UK says Iran must “never” acquire nuclear weapons.
But Britain helped Israel develop nuclear arms several decades ago and in effect supports its nuclear force now by supplying equipment for its submarines.

Due to drone attacks by Iran, UK media are now covering RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, from where the RAF conducted over 600 spy flights for Israel during its genocide.
Analysis last year by Prof Des Freedman found no MSM investigations into Akrotiri.

Starmer says his approval for the US to use British bases to bomb Iran is “permitted under international law” as “acting in the collective self-defence of regional allies”.
He condemns Iran’s retaliatory strikes but not the US/Israeli bombing of Iran.

Keir Starmer is giving the US permission to bomb Iran from Britain while retaining secrecy over the precise US military presence in the UK.
We believe these are the key US military/Intel sites in Britain, which include major air bases and smaller sites.
