“It cannot be claimed that the UK is not at war, or is only at war in some limited sense Starmer has dreamed up. And certainly not at the same time as a government department is literally posting video evidence to the contrary. This patronising charade has gone on long enough”

“The U.K. is blocking U.S. use of two key bases for an attack on Iran, according to a report by The Times.
