Shameful that a U.K. base and the U.K. government are assisting Israel in genocide in Gaza.
Just hours before Keir Starmer arrived at Britain's base on Cyprus this morning, a UK spy plane returned from a 6-hour mission over Gaza where it was collecting intelligence for Israel. Starmer told UK soldiers at RAF Akrotiri: "We can't tell the world what you are doing here."

Shameful that this U.K. base has been used to assist Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza.
Perhaps Sky News may care to ask why British troops have had such a 'busy, busy year'? Have they been serving our interests or mainly those of Netanyahu & Gallant, who now have international arrest warrants issued for them for alleged war crimes? @SkyNews.

Mark Thomas, the long acclaimed comic, sometimes journalist and investigative reporter, returns to the stage in wake of the British general election and he’s got a lot to talk about.

The only long term solution is the withdrawal of Israel from all the Occupied Territories and recognition of the State of Palestine in accordance with UN resolutions and international law.
The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanese Hizbollah offers hope. My statement:
