Whilst insiders claim this supposed justification by Lammy of British strikes in Iran in defence of the U.K. IS NOT a pivot away from the UK current position it sounds very like preparing the ground for supporting Trump’s mad & illegal war on Iran…

Trump and Netanyahu are on course to create a humanitarian disaster without removing the murderous regime in Iran. Ordinary people, 90 percent of whom oppose the mullahs and revolutionary guards will pay the price
Why is Britain allowing US bombers to take off from bases on our soil to pursue an illegal war that hits almost everyone in Britain in the pocket? This isn't an alliance. It is exploitation, bullying and insults.

The skyline of Tehran has a small shaft of light to the west. But the rest is darkness, shrouded in black cloud from burning oil depots and refineries
Daybreak brings only more night in Tehran. A city blackened by burning oil.
Hospitals, schools, aid centres, freshwater desalination plants and now fuel storage depots.
These are all the sites you would target if your wish was to perpetuate a genocide.

Graphic saying: International Women’s Day Policies designed to deter migration often place migrant women at greater risk of poverty, exploitation, and abuse. 💼 Work restrictions Women on many visa types or with insecure status face limited access to work, increasing financial dependence and vulnerability. 🏠 “No Recourse to Public Funds” Many migrant women cannot access basic support like housing or benefits, even when escaping abuse. ⚖️ Barriers to safety Fear of immigration enforcement can prevent women from reporting domestic violence or seeking help. 👩👧 Impact on families Migrant mothers are more likely to face poverty and instability due to restrictions on work and support. On International Women’s Day, support and empower migrant women
Women are often disproportionately impacted by hostile immigration policies. They can leave them in poverty and at risk of abuse and violence.
This #Internationalwomensday show your support for migrant women by fighting for their rights.

The people in Hungary are showing that they have enough of Orban.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
In Manila, Keisha Mayuga met a mother on the bus commuting over two hours in traffic each way. Determined to act, she helped launch a bike-lending movement and pop-up lanes in the city.

Not a military base. Not a weapons depot. Not a missile launcher
The water supply
An elementary school. A boys’ school. A civilian airport. Oil depots.And now the
Arabs ( or anyone not Jewish )are LOCKED OUT of Tel Aviv shelters during missile alerts. News reporters are calling it racism.
Israel demanded a retraction. Repost this video.
"No, we are not alone, we are the first. We are the first"
"And I'll tell you more, I'll tell you more, we are already seeing it"
"We are seeing how many other governments are already taking a stand against this war."
"The ones who will end up alone are those who defend the indefensible"
Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez has a message for UK PM Keir Starmer,
"During these past few days, you will have heard people saying that Spain is alone"
"No, those were the same people who told us, when we recognised the State of Palestine, that we were alone, and then everyone else followed"
