All those responsible for the crime of aggression, including Putin, should face justice. But the proposal in the EP's motion on a tribunal for the crime of aggression yesterday would not achieve that. It would make peace harder to achieve.

Last week Ireland lost a true revolutionary, and one of her best poets, @KevinHIpoet1967. His last poem was called "I Always Thought I'd Live." He will always live in his words.

To any democrat, the proposal to use *sanctions* to combat 'disinformation' - a blatantly politicised concept in EU foreign policy - must be regarded as an end run around due process and fundamental rights protections and a threat to the rule of law.

There're some 48,000 lobbyists seeking to influence EU institutions. 12,000 registered orgs with combined annual lobby budget of €1.8 billion. EU defence policy was written by lobbyists. Interference is interference. Corruption is corruption. About time we tackled all of it.

There is a sustained campaign to undermine the right of member states, enshrined in the Treaties, to veto Council decisions. On foreign & defence issues we should never - ever - give those who dream of an imperial Europe what they want & abolish the veto. We are not the US of E.

In modern war the only winner is global capital. Ordinary people always lose. Remember that next time there's talk about peace being "treason."

It isn't a year since #EU🇪🇺 governments stopped doing #COVID lockdowns & repressing protests with riot police, tear gas & water cannon. It shows how unhinged EU #sinophobia is now that MEPs spent an hour ranting about how #China🇨🇳 (now opening up) is still doing the same thing.

We must recognise our media - strangled by money, more interested in access to power than holding it to account - is anything but free, a water carrier for political and corporate power, dedicated to enforcing the demands of global capital. Those like #Assange are the exception.

Visited Algirdas Paleckis in Kaunas prison today..like Assange a journalist, imprisoned for espionage on the testimony of a convicted paedophile & secret evidence even the judges could not see..so much for #EU rule of law!! He is strong, has much support & will prevail. Respect

This year #TRAN MEPs demanded action on social conditions for air crew dealing with bogus self-employment, pay-to-fly, undeclared work, and so on. What did we get? Nothing. The #Commission must get its act together, or like with rail, #aviation workers will have to take action.

Despite #EU support for the two-state solution, #Israeli #settlement and #apartheid have continued. Two states is less viable with every year. What have we done? EU-Israel cooperation has deepened! This is a process of #annexation, not #peace. Listen to the people of #Palestine🇵🇸

Last week I returned to #Lesvos for Amir & Akif's appeal, and after nearly three gruelling years they were at last set free. I am glad at their release. But it is an outrage that migrants continue to be criminalised and tortured in #Greece. Are these our #EuropeanValues???

There is no military option to end the fighting in Eastern #DRC #Congo🇨🇩. A comprehensive political strategy is needed that includes demobilisation, local reconciliation and a focus on land and employment for young people. There will be no justice without peace.

#Interpol #RedNotices 🟥 shouldn't be political, but they are. They are abused by many states to chase political dissidents and journalists. The lack of transparency about their use has been a subject of concern for some time.

The Ukrainian state is reeling, unable to finance services its people desperately need. But billions in EU financial assistance are not free; they're loans, which #Ukraine will default on. Meanwhile there is little oversight or assurance the funds are going where they should.
