France has agreed to accept the return of undocumented people arriving in the U.K. by small boats, in exchange for the U.K. agreeing to accept an equal number of legitimate asylum-seekers with British family connections. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/05/world/politics/uk-france-migrant-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #uk #france #migration #europe #keirstarmer #emmanuelmacron

La popolazione di #Gaza sta morendo di fame e la reazione dell'Europa è quella di riconoscere uno Stato palestinese.

Questo salverà gli abitanti di Gaza che muoiono di fame?
#Israele può tranquillamente ignorare tutte queste dichiarazioni grazie al sostegno degli Stati Uniti.

In Israele si parla di uno "tsunami" diplomatico, nella consapevolezza che non raggiungerà le coste israeliane, finché il riconoscimento non sarà accompagnato dall'imposizione di un prezzo per il genocidio. ⬇️3

A superare se stesso è stato il primo ministro britannico #KeirStarmer, uno dei primi a riconoscere la Palestina nell'attuale ondata, dopo la Francia.
Si è affrettato a definire la sua mossa come una punizione (condizionata), adempiendo così al suo dovere.

Se Israele si comporterà bene, ha promesso, il suo dito puntato verrà ritirato.
Che tipo di punizione è questa, signor Primo Ministro?
Se riconoscere la Palestina favorirà una soluzione, secondo lei, perché presentarla come una punizione?
E se si tratta di una misura punitiva, dove sta?

È quello che accade quando il timore di #DonaldTrump cala sull'Europa e la paralizza, quando è chiaro che chiunque imponga sanzioni a Israele ne pagherà le conseguenze.
Il mondo preferisce per ora un baccanale verbale. ⬇️4

The nuclear pact recently signed by French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Kier Starmer reflects how an emerging post-liberal Europe is taking the form of a defense community. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/23/world/britain-and-europe-are-changing-together/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #france #europe #eu #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #defense #emmanuelmacron #keirstarmer

France and the U.K. have agreed to coordinate their nuclear forces more closely in response to growing security concerns, signaling both deeper European defense cooperation and unease about the future U.S. role. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/16/world/france-uk-nuclear-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #emmanuelmacron #keirstarmer #uk #france #us #russia #defense #nuclearweapons #nato

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hope to win an agreement on tougher measures to control migration during the final day of a summit with French President Emmanuel Macron. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/10/world/uk-starmer-migration-macron/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #uk #keirstarmer #emmanuelmacron #france #immigration

The proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group starts tomorrow.

This is a dangerous escalation in the criminalisation of political dissent in the UK.

It’ll increase surveillance, particularly under the Prevent Duty, and censorship under the Online Safety Act.

I support #PalestineAction because I'm against #genocide and #WarCrimes such as starving, bombing and shooting a civilian population.

Unlike #YvetteCooper and #KeirStarmer and this #UKLabour government who are still sending weapons to the criminal Israeli regime.

None of that will change because they've made it illegal for me to say so tomorrow.

#UKLabour is anti democracy in UK and pro mass murder of #Palestinians in #Gaza, and pro #apartheid in #Israel.

Why?

By failing to consult his allies before bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, U.S. President Donald Trump has reduced NATO to a passive observer and signaled a dangerous diplomatic shift. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/29/world/natos-trump-dilemma/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #emmanuelmacron #keirstarmer #donaldtrump #us #nato #defense #iran #friedrichmerz #eu

Chinese spying and attempts by Beijing to undermine Britain's democracy and economy are on the rise, an "audit" commissioned by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer found. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/25/world/politics/uk-chinese-spying/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #davidlammy #uk #china #espionage #keirstarmer

Keir Starmer overtakes Farage's Reform in his vicious anti-immigrant stance.

I came to this country as a young man. I stayed. I called England my home. I have educated British professionals for three decades.

First Brexit. Now comes Labour --- Labour! --- and tells me that I am lucky to be tolerated as an unwelcome guest.

What a world we live in.
