Today, I asked the Deputy PM if she would support an independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in Israeli war crimes.
She refused to answer.
Just like Iraq, the government is doing everything it can to shield itself from scrutiny. Just like Iraq, it will not succeed in hiding the truth.

The sheep, out of hatred for the rabbits, voted for the wolf to preside over the farm. They all died. Even the chickens, who didn't vote.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Tory coalition of chaos with Nigel Farage 'would lead to NHS charging for ops'

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.
Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?
Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.
Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

One of the things you are taught at lawyer school is not to try and persuade your opponent: they are professionally unpersuadable.
There's a lesson there for Labour, which will learn the hard way that there's no version of Musk which wants what it does (or should), however accommodating we are.
