  1. Palestinian people have a right in international law to defend themselves against #Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank & Gaza.

    But scumbag #EdMiliband wants #Hamas to disarm, and leave #Gaza defenceless against the Israeli #genocide.

    The rest of the statement is pointless waffle. No sanctions, no end to intelligence sharing, no opposition to Israel's war in Iran and Lebanon. 😡

    New UK #ForeignSecretary same as old Foreign Sec. 🤮

  3. In the #IrishTimes, Mark Paul opines that Andy #Burnham will have to offer a big job to Wes #Streeting. archive.is/wDwWU

    Probably true. Who wants Streeting outside the tent, pissing in?

    Paul suggests Chancellor or #ForeignSecretary.

    Streeting's love of private equity would make him a scary Chancellor.

    But Foreign Sec could be interesting. The v talented young Palestinian Leanne Mohamad is ready to take Wes's #IlfordNorth seat, so Wes would have to be very tough on Israel.

  5. Oh gawd. #TheIndependent website is predicting that #AndyBurnham will give #DavidMiliband a peerage and appoint him as UK #ForeignSecretary. trib.al/a89tuU0 🤮🤮🤮

    I don't regard the Indo as reliable. It's now just a shadow of the newspaper which preceded it. Heavily #Blairite and crudely europhile.

    But this is another indicator of how much #Burnham is associated with the disgraced tribe of #Blairites

  7. Dame #MargaretHodge, Baroness Lodge of Barking, is the UK Prime Minister’s "Anti-Corruption Champion". See archive.is/UtIw4

    But on Tuesday's BBC #Newsnight , Hodge DEFENDED #Starmer's staff who tried to make pal-of-paedo #MatthewDoyle an ambassador.

    Hodge claims this is routine job-hunting help. But Doyle could be ambassador only as a political appointee. He'd have been only the 6th political ambassador since 1979. And the #ForeignSecretary was not told. Blatant #corruption.

  9. As #ForeignSecretary, #DavidLamny was a dissembling supporter of Israel while it conducted a #genocide.

    Now he is #LordChancellor & Secretary of State for Injustice. He is gutting the right to #jurytrial, claiming implausibly that it will speed justice. In reality, it's an attempt to eliminate #JuryNullification in trials of #protesters like the #Filton24 and the #Colston4.

    This leaves a great mystery.

    Lammy's politics are horrendous. Why is #Lammy not more hated?

  11. #SimonHarris's statement didn't go as far as I wanted. He didn't label Israel's actions as piracy, and he didn't even mention that the abducted include a member of the Oireachtas: Senator Chris Andrews.

    But it's all a big contrast to the silence of #YvetteCopper, the UK's #ForeignSecretary. Cooper has not made any statement in her own name, even in writing.

  13. The #UK's #Starmer demoted the ridiculous #DavidLammy from #ForeignSecretary to #JusticeSecretary. So Lammy lost use of #Chevening, the Foreign Secretary’s country residence in Kent.

    But he still gets to live in the Foreign Secretary's London house, 'cos his successor #YvetteCooper doesn't want to live there. The Brits formally call it a "grace-and-favour home", but #SnoutsInTrough is more descriptive.

  15. In the last five years, the UK has had 6 Foreign Secretaries and 8 Home Secretaries.

    The instability of the post-2019 #ConservativeParty has been mimicked by the #Starmer's #LabourParty, with his #HomeSecretary and #ForeignSecretary reshuffled after only 14 months.

    Home Secs: Sajid Javid, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Grant Shapps, Suella Braverman, James Cleverly, Yvette Cooper, Shabana Mahmood

    Foreign Secs: Dominic Raab, Liz Truss, James Cleverly, David Cameron, David Lammy, Yvette Cooper

  17. @ChrisMayLA6 #RachelReeves is by far the least intellectually able #Chancellor ever.

    #DavidLammy was the second-least intellectually able #ForeignSecretary ever (#LizTruss was worse).

    And #YvetteCooper as #HomeSecretary was at best middleweight.

    Collectively, they were the least talented trio ever to hold the UK's three Great Offices of State. Yet the #MSM parroted the #Starmtroopers' absurd boast that this was "the adults back in charge".

     “That the #BritishIndianOceanTerritory #SupremeCourt has been prevented from sitting in its own territory on Crown land is an extraordinary affront to the #RuleOfLaw and we trust that the #ForeignSecretary will now do everything in his power to ensure that the hearing goes ahead as soon as possible.” theguardian.com/world/article/ #USHubris

  21. Sickened by the needless loss of life and strategic advantage in #Syria from #DavidCameron ‘s insistence on a Commons vote before taking military action. It’s precisely the opposite to what the now #ForeignSecretary then #PM & the rest of the shameless #tories are arguing today. They must really think we’re too thick to notice the hypocrisy & paradox, but it’s all we can see.

  25. CW: UK Politics - David 'The Dead Pig Loving' Cameron.

    David Cameron, the buffoon who bodged Brexit, back in the UK cabinet as Foreign Secretary by way of being made a Lord, is everything that is wrong with the UK political system.
    - Cameron wants to be in Government, he should be a serving MP
    -The house of Lords should all be 100% elected

  26. Not only has the modern Conservative Party exhausted all of its "talent" for cabinet positions resorting to dredging up the has-beens, Sunak has decided it's sensible to make Foreign Secretary the very person who instigated Britain's downfall and shunning of its neighbours.
