      Ed Milliband is a patsy who gets wheeled out by the Zionists to wring his hands and make liberals feel that the Labour party hasn’t sold its soul to genocidal billionaires.

          Well some sides want genocides and some sides want no genocides. So they will call some genocides a compromise.

          Giving light to to horrific crimes against humanity and life that the RSF committed is good, but your take is shit.

          Also it isn’t like a similar thing isn’t going to happen in Yemen soon with the siege of taiz.

              Unlikely I expect the Taiz thing is just a Western media Blitz to give them an excuse to attack Ansarallah for Saudi Arabia.

                  They invest billions in the UK and hold huge leverage.

                    Over 1.4 million visitors from the UK visit the United Arab Emirates each year, and more than 130,000 British citizens live in the UAE. In 2024, the UAE was the UK’s largest trading partner in the region and its 19th largest trading partner globally.[4]

                    Both Britain and the Emirates have established relations in various areas, including law enforcement, defence, training, and military technology. This was reflected recently in the signing of an agreement to cooperate in the development of the Emirates’ nuclear energy plants in the future.

                    Following the Labour Party’s victory in the 2024 general election, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s first call was to his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, underlining the importance of the bilateral relationship. Shortly after being elected to government, Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a call with President Sheikh Mohamed.[41] In a post-election interview, the British ambassador said energy and growth were two particularly relevant areas in the UK’s relationship with the UAE.[42]

                            The UAE is a key ally. Just because you were unaware of that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

                      Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

                      Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

                      Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

                      If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

                      Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

                      Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
                      Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
