On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants. Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.

My Substack: Immerwahr’s How to Hide an Empire: “The Pacific will be ours, and Atlantic is mainly ours,” crowed Walt Whitman. 2026 is 170th anniversary of Guano Islands Act. Not start of US imperialism, but geographic stepping up https://t.co/eapkMpxVma

Do Mark Carney, José Raúl Mulino (Panama), Jens-Frederik Nielsen (Greenland) have to look to their security? Seems so
This leaves me wondering how many other countries are on Trump's "to invade" list for 2026, and whether the UK government will oppose any of them.

Beyond Venezuela, there are big questions to ask about US backing global future of regional spheres of influence https://t.co/B1pdBa7hDD

How will the British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary respond to this?

Thinking of the brave people of Iran, particular the women. There were feminists and democrats who helped overthrow the Shah, and their commitment and principles live on. Best wishes to them https://t.co/w4WL6JMDNJ

Concerning: "Flotilla comprises 3 Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, 3 amphibious assault ships & 2,500 US Marines, P-8 maritime patrol aircraft & nuclear-powered attack submarine. 10 F-35s & Reaper drones in Puerto Rico" https://t.co/HMnnpHWAw6

The US task force of destroyers and submarines plus F-35 jets appear designed for a much larger task than taking out individual drug traffickers

Venezuela - a question I asked in the #HouseofLords last month. Hoping we will get a stronger, clearer reaction this time from the UK government about the US attack, which cannot conceivably be legal under international law https://t.co/PRWiSGj4ga
