Re: The Donald Trump thread
The Greens and Lib Dems turning the heat up on Starmer, and challenging the hypocrisy of the UK government stance:Originally posted by jon1959 View Post
Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, is also calling for the government to urgently withdraw the military support it is giving the US.
In a message on social media Polanski, like Ed Davey (see 2.22pm), also indicated that he had read President Trump’s latest Truth Social message with horror. Polanski said the UK must stop American planes bombing Iran from British bases entirely.
The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.
The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they’re standing up to him.
Words aren’t enough - it’s time for action.
Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, has urged Keir Starmer to stop letting the US use British military bases for some of its Iran war operations to stop the UK being “an accomplice to war crimes”.
In a post on social media, Davey said that Donald Trump’s latest “shocking” threat to Iran made cancelling American use of British bases even more urgent.
And Davey also said that, if the UK does continue to allow the US to dispatch bombers from British soil for “defensive operations” (see 1.07pm), it should published details of the conditions that apply, monitor every flight that leaves and report to parliament on where those planes actually went.
Currently the government is giving almost no details about what exactly American planes flying to Iran from UK bases have been doing.
Davey said:
President Trump’s explicit threats to target civilian infrastructure in Iran signal a clear intent to breach international law. This places the UK government in a perilous position; by continuing to grant the US access to our airbases, the prime minister risks making the United Kingdom an accomplice to war crimes.
In an open letter to the PM, jointly written with Calum Miller, the Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesperson, and signed by Lib Dem MPs, Davey says:
Liberal Democrats supported your decisions not to allow UK bases to be used by the US in the initial attacks and to limit UK involvement to that required to defend our citizens, interests and allies in the face of illegal actions against them by Iran.
We have consistently pressed you and your ministers to clarify the limited grounds on which you subsequently authorised the US to launch attacks from UK bases. We have been told by the foreign secretary that it is consistent with long-established agreements and by you that the purpose will only be “defensive”. Despite repeated requests, this has not been clarified and your ministers have refused to confirm if the outcomes of US attacks launched from UK bases are being monitored, or to state whether they are sharing any monitoring data with the intelligence and security committee.
On Easter Sunday (5 April), President Trump issued a post on Truth Social that stated: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the ****in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
This followed statements by President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth on 1 April that they would bomb Iran “back to the Stone Age” and a declaration on 26 March by Hegseth that US forces should use “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy”.
I am sure you recognise that these remarks incite breaches of international law …
We therefore call on you, with urgency, to withdraw the access granted to US planes to use UK bases and to make a statement on how we will continue to work with our other allies to ensure protection for our citizens, interests and allies. If you will not do this, we call on you immediately to publish the conditions you have attached to this access to ensure it is only “defensive” and to commit to monitoring the outcomes of all sorties and to report these to parliament’s intelligence and security committee.
Unless you take these actions, you will place the UK and your government at grave risk of complicity with illegal actions by the US.

Re: The Donald Trump thread
Meanwhile, Farage has clarified that he would allow the US to use UK bases to commit war crimes (destroy civilian infrastructure - and presumably kill many more civilians) if Trump could explain the 'end game'!
War crimes are OK if there is an exit strategy?Comment
