REVEALED: BAE Systems advised at least 13 British universities on how to repress pro-Palestine protests on campus. A new revelation by Liberty Investigates and Al Jazeera exposes the extent of the influence of BAE in the securitisation and disciplinary measures against students.

No surprise that Ed Miliband's new sanctions on Israel have resulted in zero arms export licences being revoked or suspended so far

US threats to Greenland were taken by some as evidence that US was withdrawing its leadership of NATO, indeed becoming a potential adversary of European NATO. But what if it is precisely through NATO that the US controls and is a threat to Europe? reuters.com/world/europe/tru…

Burnham should be actively opposing Trump’s illegal war on Iran, not taking the UK further into Middle East conflicts, which are bringing so much misery to so many. StW in the @M_Star_Online

Helping the US to bomb Iran. Now, helping Saudi Arabia to bomb Yemen. This is a terrible and shameful decision, which drags Britain further into conflict, deepens its complicity in Saudi war crimes, and proves that no lessons have been learned whatsoever.

This is a call for armed forces personnel to be placed above the law. No country claiming to be a democracy can allow this. SAS veterans who helped defeat the IRA deserve protections thetimes.com/comment/columni…

The scale of the arms industry’s contribution to climate change is often minimised, avoided or ignored. But preparations for war, and war itself, are killing the planet faster than practically any other single factor. @JohnWRees for @MiddleEastEye middleeasteye.net/opinion/ho…

Burnham may have committed to a 3% defence spending target by 2030 but the electorate has not given its consent to it. Labour's 2024 manifesto made no such commitment. @MccailColl @stwscotland writes for the @ScotNational thenational.scot/comment/265…

Some fantastic images from today's Stop Bombing Iran – Shut Down US Bases demonstration at RAF Fairford By allowing the US’s biggest bombers to launch from Fairford, Britain is participating in Trump’s brutal, illegal war of choice on Iran. We were there in numbers to tell Andy Burnham that this collusion has to stop. It is deeply dangerous for communities and has next to no support in this country

Why is @andyburnham getting Britain even deeper into this war? He's aiding the kind of strikes on civilians that were condemned only last week by the UN and putting us in the firing line. How about some diplomacy @Ed_Miliband? Source: ukraine.un.org/en/320672-sta…
Ukraine has used British-made drones for the first time in deep strikes inside Russia, targeting oil refineries near Moscow, Yaroslavl and Volgograd, as well as Belgorod. The reported use of British weapons marks a new phase in UK-Ukraine military cooperation and could prompt Russia to intensify hybrid attacks against Britain. Source: The Times
