I dont know what your politics are. But incoherent rage tends to indicate something towards the right.

Why don’t you wipe the spit off your screen and chill out for once instead.

You suggested that people shouldn't go along with the crowd so why did you - your types have caused another five years of Tories

I've just turned on BBC news channel to a comedy program -  the lords debating parliamentary democracy.

In theory no but Cameron set a precedent where military action goes through Parliament.

Sunak could’ve recalled Parliament earlier if he wanted.

2nd day of that Israel v S Africa genocide court case in Hague today. This time Israel gets to defend itself. Not sure Israel saying they were responding to Hamas or targeting Hamas will wash and I reckon court will rule that military action should cease, or at least change radically. Israel can ignore it, but not sure US will so might have a big impact. Court won't rule whether can be classed as genocide won't be for years I don't think but when look at what Israeli government members have been saying along with IDF actions then could well rule against Israel too. Israel were never going to destroy Hamas, but what they have done is damage Hamas but at same time destroy the lives and infrastructure of Palestinians.

If you want peace vote Trump.

To the surprise of no one. Corbyn is supporting the Houthi terrorists in this action. Not surprised when they have the same common interests as Hamas.

In the end US warned Houthis that further attacks on ships going through Red Sea, so after Houthis carried on US had to do something. Not saying it's right, it's all bad. A ceasefire in Gaza would help.

Oh and for all those who are annoyed by Sunak's use of a private jet (and helicopter) to go places, well another similarity between the the two main party leaders appears. There is no excuse and they should simply not do it.

 

Sir Keir Starmer flew in a private jet paid for by Qatar to visit the country's leader last month, according to parliamentary records.

The Labour leader made a return trip to the kingdom whilst attending the COP28 climate conference held in Dubai.

His latest declaration of financial interests shows the trip for him and three staffers cost £25,508.

At least we didn't pay for it

Boost the arms trade

[steviewevie]

At this rate I think Reform will get a bigger vote than Greens.

Big difference between using a private jet for domestic travel and international travel. 
 

If we had the infrastructure in the country then Sunak could have easily got the train. Wouldn’t have been a problem using his government provided vehicle and driver either.

If you're annoyed with sunak flying I hope be stopped flying yourself.

Haha obsessed.

Must be so weird to have an old politically sidelined pacifist living rent free inside your massive empty head.
