The UK government is among those complicit in war crimes by continuing to arm Israel. The fact that it continues to refuse to come to a judgment on allegations that Israel has used “disproportionate force”, after tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths, simply beggars belief

Starmer's decision to 'close the loophole' re Palestinian family from Gaza is morally repellent, cowardly and inexcusable. With politicians like this, this country doesn't stand a chance of getting out of the gutter the Tories and Farage dragged it into.
