"In the two Yemen incidents - which hit a port and a detention centre - the U.S. report accepted that the strikes killed 80 and 68 civilians respectively. This would place them among the largest civilian harm tolls ever accepted by the U.S. government."

Much of the media & military establishment are advocating that Britain spend more on the military, some saying welfare should be cut and Britain is "defenceless". But did you know: no less than 18% of the military budget in 2024/5 was spent on nuclear arms? #DCUKparliament
So glad that Luqman Saeed - an academic at Ulster University - has written this piece about the Belfast riots. I hope I could write this clearly and perceptively were I under similar pressure right now. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...
Daniel Trilling@trillingual.bsky.social · 3mo agoFrom a friend in Belfast.
The Labour government is not content to have sold a record £20bn in arms around the world last year. It wants to flog more arms to more countries, and it thinks "defence is an engine for growth." And this is all seen as entirely normal by UK national media.
