Over and over again, Keir Starmer has given Trump what he wants, in order to avoid US tariffs.
Now Trump wants to annex Greenland – and he's putting tariffs on the UK for opposing it.
The UK can't keep giving in to tariff threats. It's time for Europe to come together to take Trump on.

🚨 Elbit Systems has lost the £2bn army training contract to Raytheon UK.
While we welcome the loss of the contract to a subsidiary of Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, we must oppose these investments into "preparations for war" all while welfare and public investments are being cut.

British-made weapons were used by the US to attack Venezuela on 3rd January.
Starmer, instead of condemning these violations of international law, cheered it on.
Shameful.

Hearing argument that proscription generates uncertainty of what is legal to say, for example, "Palestine Action are not terrorists".
The judge immediately responded saying that statement would be support for PA.
