Armed with a report on the state broadcaster’s pro-Israel coverage of Gaza, journalist Peter Oborne in a parliamentary meeting last week eviscerated the BBC over its shameful reporting.
The U.S. not only has zero interest in peace, it is engaging in morally abhorrent levels of dishonesty and deception, attacking under a false flag of truce.
Last week at the U.N. General Assembly, before Israel attacked Iran, the U.K. ambassador’s written explanation of her vote on a Gaza ceasefire suggested Starmer and Lammy are terrified.
The Labour government’s suspension of free trade talks with Israel is too little too late, writes John McEvoy. The U.K. prime minister and Foreign Minister Lammy should be in The Hague.
Challenging the numerous insidious aspects of current U.K. foreign policy amounts to nothing less than truly ending the British Empire, writes Mark Curtis.
The Starmer government provided aerial refueling for U.S. jets during airstrikes on Yemen last weekend that killed 53 people, including women and children, Iona Craig reports.
The flights have taken off from Britain’s controversial air base on Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri, and averaged around one a day since the beginning of December, Matt Kennard reports.
The two key reasons are the need for Whitehall to demonstrate British subservience and usefulness to the US, and the power of the Israel lobby, writes Declassified’s editor Mark Curtis.
