You voted for a candidate who as VP enabled Israel's genocide in Gaza.

It is not in the UK's national interest to have American B1 bombers flying from RAF Fairford to bomb Iran with their payload of 24 cruise missiles per mission.

We should not have allowed US access to our bases. Most of my friends, family & neighbours believe that too.

Certainly not a mistake to not elect her. As VP she didn't even try to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The mistake was selecting her as Democrat presidential candidate.

Four B1 bombers are reported to have arrived at Fairford, each one with a payload of 24 cruise missiles. Defensive?

The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.

Four B1 bombers at RAF Fairfield each with a payload of 24 cruise missiles doesn't sound defensive to me.

Unfortunately he has signed us up for it by allowing the US to use our bases. Have you seen the US bombers arriving at Fairford? Have you heard both Trump & Hegserth boasting how the intensity of the bombing will increase as a result?

She may not have supported Israel to attack Iran, but Kamala & Biden are responsible for the genocide in Gaza & for the election of Trump.

There's not much difference between Tories & Reform anyway.

You may be correct on that, but she ruled herself out when as vice president she did not stop Israel's genocide in Gaza. Shame on Biden and Kamala.

Hopefully Axel Springer will turn it back into a reputable newspaper, regardless of its politics.

Reuters reports that US investigation indicates likely US involvement in attack on Iranian school in which nearly 200 died. That's Reuters & New York Times both saying the same. Along with BBC Verify too.

Trouble is we have become involved by allowing the US access to our bases.

Just to be clear the correct response is to tell Donald Trump to fuck off like Spain did.

Here's Zack Polanski's courteous but devastating response to Shabana Mahmood's attack on him.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

In her speech on immigration today Shabana Mahmood was determined to criticise Zack Polanski.In a calm,courteous,considered manner ZP has replied to her. His reply demonstrates the hypocrisy of our Home Secretary and indicateds why Labour lost the by-election & are languishing in the opinion polls.
