Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
Mir Houssein Mousavi led Iran’s Green Movt in 2009. He ran for pres & received immense support from the Iranian ppl. Millions voted 4 him in an election w/high turn out. But the vote was stolen by the govt, leading 2mass protests. Mousavi & others were put under house arrest /n x.com/tparsi/statu...

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
