Pretty poor from Ed Miliband.
At this key moment, our government should be pushing USA & holding them to account. Instead he sounds like he's saying like it or lump it.

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

If European countries fail to defend the ICC and the ICJ from the looming Trump administration attacks, then the United Nations could well be next.
The disintegration of the League of Nations was one of the symptoms of the collapse of global order, leading to World War II. The stakes are that high.

🔥 Why is the ICC ruling so important?
Because all members of the ICC are now obliged to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot on their soil.
Those countries include UK, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Canada, Australia, NZ… over 120 nations.
In “the West” it’s only the US which is the exception.
