WAR in Gaza, war in Yemen, war in Ukraine and sharply increased arms spending is the policy of the British state, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made clear in the Commons today.

The PM defended the bombing of Yemen by the Royal Navy last week as essential to preserving freedom of maritime navigation and accused the Houthis of “the biggest attack on the Royal Navy for decades.”

Straining credulity, Mr Sunak insisted that this latest Anglo-US aggression in the region had “nothing to do with what is going on in Israel and Gaza” and that it was a “malign narrative” to suggest otherwise.
