“They say that Spain is alone. They said the same when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone. We are the first. Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.” (Sánchez, March 9)

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

#NSU #nsu_shss Thanks to Prof Rosemary Anne Byrne of @PSIASciencesPo for her excellent talk on 'From Labour Rights to Corporate Risks: Protecting Migrant Labour in the Gulf' as part of the NSU SHSS Distinguished Webinar Series.

Allowing British bases to be used in an illegal war of aggression is a catastrophic and historic mistake. Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law. War is not a game. This shameful decision makes Britain complicit in the devastating consequences ahead - and jeopardises the safety of us all.

I condemn the extremely dangerous military escalation in the Middle East. The UN Charter is clear: all Member States must settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. They must also refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations. Serious concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program, regional activities, and human rights violations must be addressed in accordance with the UN Charter and international law. I call on the United States, Israel, and Iran to de-escalate, to not drag neighboring countries into this conflict and to return to diplomacy and negotiations.

I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

The killing of dozens of girls at a primary school in Iran is not on the front page of a single British newspaper. A simple test - imagine the reaction if they were Israelis. aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/28…

I had the opportunity to speak to the House Foreign Aff Committee about the illegal US intervention in Venezuela. The UK must decide between "leading on international law" & "the special relationship", if the latter is a reflexive support for now legally unconstrained US policy.

Louisa and her team were Pulitzer finalists for their reporting on Gaza, including an early forensic investigation of the killing of Hind Rajab.

A handful of figures will be sacrificed - but only to protect a wider culture that believes rules don't apply to the ruling elite. Read my latest on the Epstein Files here: middleeasteye.net/opinion/crimin…
