@osintpeace @ZackPolanski The Green Party hasn't "blocked the construction of nuclear reactors". They have never had sufficient MPs to block nuclear power. The huge set-up and decommissioning costs of nuclear is what restricts nuclear plants.

@ZackPolanski Yeah energy bills will skyrocket because your party blocked the construction of nuclear reactors you absolute moron

Countless Iranians have died. UK bases being targeted. Energy bills will skyrocket. The British people are against the UK involvement in this war. A vote in Parliament is needed now and it's what Starmer promised when running for leader and pretending he was progressive.

@whufc79 @ZackPolanski It is widely recognised that over 100 schoolchildren were killed by a US tomahawk missile. Are you saying they were 'Islamic terrorists' rather than innocent civilians?

@ZackPolanski Only Islamic terrorists have been killed. IRGC killed innocent civilians.

@RpsAgainstTrump There's also a huge difference between being asked to help defend a NATO ally who has been attacked, vs being expected to fight an unnecessary and counterproductive war of aggression on behalf of Israel.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on Trump calling NATO “cowards”: “I don't think that they're cowards. I think they're people that weren't consulted on a major military operation, and I'd have the same reaction if I was the head of state.”

@shaunking The Reuters source you cite states "injured 32 people", as do other sources. You state the missile "killed dozens". Do you have evidence for that?

Now we know the deadliest missile to hit the country of Bahrain definitively came from the United States. It killed dozens of citizens in their sleep. The US is slaughtering people and making enemies all over the region.

@DefenceHQ This isn't a defence of the UK. It is a defence of Israel, a defence of US-aligned gulf dictatorships and attempted appeasement of an irrational Trump. It isn't supported by the UK population and this illegal Israel/US war is very damaging to the UK.

Update on UK operations in the Middle East, 20 March 2026.

@QeenKGino @BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson Shooting down a missile aimed at the UK would be defensive action. Allowing huge US bombers to attack Iran from UK bases is not defensive action.

Hang on Diego & our middle Eastern allies, John Mc Donald wants to vote on whether we protect you or not 😂 Iran has dragged us into this war by attacking us for defending British interests, defending our military bases & standing with our allies in the Gulf/middle East.. We were always going to be involved in defensive action & that is all we currently are involved in

"This is merging into aggressive action." Former Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell tells @bbcnickrobinson that there should be a parliamentary vote on military action in Iran.

@NeilHudsonexp @BBCr4today @KarlTurnerMP @bbcnickrobinson @johnmcdonnellMP We have allowed British bases to be used to bomb Iran. Do you expect Iran to just lie back and keep fingers crossed? We shouldn't be supporting Israeli/US wars.

@BBCr4today @KarlTurnerMP @bbcnickrobinson Ah. Iran tries to infiltrate our nuclear sub base and fires 2 IRBM against Diego Garcia and @johnmcdonnellMP thinks we should just lie back and keep our fingers crossed

Once they have been bought by billionaires or nation states, they are no longer 'your' politicians or 'your' media.

@bryanlieske @GlitchDotCraft @CCW4COs It is very unlikely that ISIS were funded by Iran. They actively fight each other. I see no reason to say "Kent claims". His deployments are widely accepted &, alongside his CIA/intelligence roles, seem to inform his concern that these wars are being fought on behalf of Israel.

Strange situation. Kent claims to have deployed to Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan 11 times, (all of which could be argued as to whether they had well-thought-out plans.) Lost his wife in 2019 to an ISIS suicide bomber (almost certainly funded by the Iranian terrorist regime.) Then in 2026, claims that the military operation to remove that terrorist regime (that killed his wife) is illegitimate?? Doesn't make much sense to me, personally.

We have now received contact from at least three service members in the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit

@DeborahMeaden If Trump and his Israel-first believers wish to fight Iran, they could be parachuted in. No UK, EU or other (incl US) service-personnel should be placed at risk for this illegal and counterproductive war.

I have so little trust in the man I could see him dragging others in and then pull out based on the fact they don’t need the oil and have done their bit….

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.

@jrhartley151515 @Ed_Miliband @UKLabour a) Only emissions per capita are relevant, as otherwise the data partially just reflects population size b) arguably data needs to take into account where consumption occurs. If we order stuff from China, those emissions and related shipping are arguably our responsibility.

@jrhartley151515 @Ed_Miliband @UKLabour Your income (and mine) is tiny relative to GDP. That doesn't make our income irrelevant or negligible. Our per person emissions are far higher than India and higher than China if accounting for consumption.

This government’s number one priority is to tackle the cost of living.

@Ed_Miliband The cost of living would likely be lower if Israel and USA were not starting illegal and counterproductive wars. The British public do not support Israeli or US attacks or appeasement of Trump's delusions.

@ProjectLincoln The USA would be well advised to instead parachute in Trump and his fellow Israel- first believers.

5,000 Marines are going to the desert to fight a war, Trump's going to Palm Beach to fight the greens.

@InvisibleArmy77 @Jonathan_K_Cook I imagine the apparent pro-Israel bias of BBC executives is more directly related to the corruption of Conservative and Labour governments by Israel.

@Jonathan_K_Cook Wow. The BBC execs must have been to Epstein island and there must be many many horrible tapes!!!!

One might have imagined that the BBC was quietly pressuring its online Middle East editor Raffi Berg to withdraw his libel case against journalist Owen Jones from the outset. Why? Because it is drawing even more attention both to the scandalous failings by the BBC to properly cover Israeli war crimes in Gaza and give voice to the experiences of Palestinians facing genocide, and to the corporation’s refusal to listen to large-scale unrest among staff at those failings. Berg may be fighting the court case but it is really the BBC in the dock – for employing someone like Berg as their online Middle East editor when the BBC claims that not only does it strive to be objective, but it strives to be seen to be objective. The Middle East is probably the most sensitive region the BBC covers. And yet, as Jones and BBC staff make clear in the article, Berg – at a personal and ideological level – has done little to hide his own sympathies. He has utterly failed to present himself as objective. The furore Berg has provoked among staff, and the reputational damage Jones’ article has caused the BBC, should have ensured that, at a minimum, the online editor was moved to another position. More properly, an internal inquiry should have been set up to investigate staff complaints. But in fact, quite the opposite has happened. BBC executives have not only rallied to Berg’s side, suggesting that critics are being antisemitic. They also appear to be fine with him further airing the corporation’s dirty linen in a very public trial. Extraordinarily, the BBC appears to have been so hands-off regarding Berg’s libel case that he felt emboldened to hire a contentious firm like Patron Law, prominently led by a strong advocate for Israel, to act as his legal representative. All of which is making Jones’ case for him. Berg appears to have been protected from any repercussions at the BBC because his publicly partisan views on Israel and Palestine were exactly what BBC executives were looking for. We can speculate why. In their 2009 book More Bad News From Israel, academics Greg Philo and Mike Berry report a senior BBC news editor telling them: “We wait in fear for the phone call from the Israelis.” A 2012 article in the London Evening Standard described BBC executives – the people who appointed Berg to the post of online Middle East editor a few months later – as in a state of permanent terror about potential complaints from Israel. A BBC insider told the paper: “To describe them as like headless chickens running all over the place would be to convey an impression of too much order and cohesion. They are cowering in corners. The fear is palpable.” Most likely Berg was hired for the job because BBC executives were confident that his own take on events in the Middle East would largely keep “the Israelis” happy. The extent to which, in the process, he would infuriate journalists around him was considered of much less significance. This is an extract from my latest article BBC editor's libel case against Owen Jones falls at the first hurdle. Here's why. Find a link to the rest in the reply post ⬇️

According to the Financial Times, the US-Israeli forces have bombed over 20,000 non-military buildings in Iran.

17,353 were people's homes.

This is clear complicity in an illegal war. International law is clear and the UK is under a strict obligation to prevent these illegal attacks not aid and abet!

Over the years I’ve been in many towns and cities when they were being bombed — in a few cases (Baghdad, Belgrade etc) by my own country. No matter what the justification, most of the victims have been entirely innocent. I’ve come to loathe the very thought of aerial bombardment.

@EdwardJDavey I don't know about badgers, but your post is reminding me of a certain type of womble.

Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡
