UK arms licensing system ‘indefensible’ as British-linked weapons used in Sudan
The UK kept approving arms sales to the UAE, even when the risks were staring it in the face. This raises serious questions about the UK’s potential complicity in mass atrocities

Today the House of Lords votes on a government amendment that would let ministers overrule local planning decisions. Labour are backing it. Greens are voting against it. Because local democracy matters.

#LocalDemocracy #PowerToCommunities
Graphic showing the message: “Real hope. Real change. Greens trust local democracy. Labour want to overrule it.” The background shows the Houses of Parliament partly covered by leafy green trees, symbolising the contrast between centralised government control and grassroots local decision-making. The Green Party logo appears at the bottom.
