NEW: Buried in the new defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.

As in: citing "wartime" needs, the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting weapons to Israel.
Now, citing those very restrictions, the US may send Israel *even more.*

People fleeing war and persecution aren’t asking for much - just to be treated with dignity and given the chance to rebuild their shattered lives.

Everyone has the right to be safe and to feel like they belong.

If the ones currently in power could keep us in concentration camps, control what we see, what we eat, and what we do, they would do it in an instant. Make no mistake that this is their objective, and that things are quickly moving in that direction

It has been common knowledge for years, including flagged by a Home Office report 15 years ago, hostile policies lead to more people forced into irregular routes, more harm, more deaths. By going further on anti-asylum Labour is actively putting lives at risk. 80/

Clacton deserves an answer to this - while Farage continues to avoid responsibility for his early life racist comments - he can't avoid this one. A near 50% overspend to win his first seat - at the umpteenth time of trying, looks like he bought it.
