    „Wes Streeting released WhatsApp messages with Peter Mandelson in a bid to downplay their relationship, writing to the then-ambassador and former friend of Jeffrey Epstein that Israel is behaving like a 'rogue state' and calling for stronger sanctions against it last summer.“

  4. Every hour Starmer refuses to condemn Trump’s Venezuela stunt, the UK looks smaller, weaker, and more irrelevant on the world stage. Stop pussy-footing. Speak up. #UKForeignPolicy #StarmerFail

  5. There is much to dislike about Xi Jinping's government, but Keir Starmer and his successors in Downing St must ensure that the UK avoids following the US into confrontation with China.

    Although the Democrats are much less crude and rash than Trump and the Republicans, they are no less committed to maintaining US global hegemony and keeping China down.

    This US policy serves neither the national interests of the UK nor those of progressive politics in general. Instead, the UK should draw closer to the EU to forge common policies for global prosperity, environmental regulation, and security. Relations with Xi Jinping's China won't be miraculously facilitated by the UK moving in this direction, but they will be markedly better than they would be were the UK to fall in behind the US.

    Starmer should have chosen a professional diplomat rather than a political appointee, but the real question is whether the UK will continue to insist that it does not have to choose between the US and Europe.

  8. To other #Brits who, like me, are categorised as so called 'white':

    If it weren't for Asia, Africa, the Carribbean, the Middle East and Central Asia, there would...be...no...BRITAIN!

    #BRITAIN was built on the expropriation from and on the backs of #peopleofcolour including the #Windbrush generation, Celts, Jews, and #workingclass whites.

    if anyone is #BRITISH, it's people of colour affected by #UKforeignpolicy and #BritishEmpire

  9. "We will not help Ukraine shoot down drones like in Israel due to the risk of escalation and a widespread war in Europe," said UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron on LBC radio. #Ukraine #UKForeignPolicy
