Govt says strikes in Yemen were to "send a message" - yet message we intend to send isn't necessarily the one that's received and many in region see it as an intervention in war in support of Israel
PM claims action was "limited, not escalatory", but that doesn't make it so

It takes courage to start a dialogue but without it Israel &amp; Gaza are condemned to endless war
To get there, there must be a ceasefire &amp; accountability on both sides
The UK Govt is promoting neither, abdicating its responsibility

Seems like Sunak is dodging scrutiny by failing to appoint new chair of Climate Change Committee - handy to avoid being challenged on his economically &amp; environmentally illiterate strategy of rolling back measures for cheaper electricity &amp; warmer homes

Cameron is on another planet if he really thinks the air strikes on Houthis sites won’t escalate the crisis. Absolutely no sense of any plan behind the action. Where does it end? “Sending a message” isn’t a strategy

Houthi attacks in Red Sea are clearly deeply destabilising but UK involvement in retaliatory action is very concerning. What’s the strategy? If it escalates further how far is Govt willing to go? And why the UK &amp; US alone? This should be fully debated &amp; voted on in parliament

Govt wins final Commons vote on the Anti-Boycott Bill which will erode local democracy, restrict freedom of expression &amp; undermine campaigns for social &amp; climate justice. Over to the unelected Lords yet again - ironically doing a far better job of championing democracy than MPs…

What's terrifying about this isn't only that 2023 was the warmest year ever, it's how close we're coming to 1.5C - the limit signed up to in the Paris Agreement
Yet still Govt want to expand drilling for fossil fuels. How many more warnings do they need?
