Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

The UK needs to stop sucking up to the USA and look for closer bonds with Europe. We need to stop using US tech and get onto the Digital Sovereignty train & we need to stop buying US weapons and planes! Truth, justice & American way...what a F*****g joke when they threaten a NATO member.

I love McQuarrie's art for Star Wars.
Officially licensed Star Wars print, published in 1993, with a description on the back that reads as follows: “An evil Darth Vader dominates this painting by Ralph McQuarrie, done before filming began on Star Wars.”
