Wirral In It Together

“The UK has sold weapons to blood-spattered Israel for deployment in Gaza to be used in war crimes. The UK and Starmer are therefore guilty of war crimes.”

Yes, the UK’s actions in selling weapons to Israel for use in Gaza constitute war crimes and violations of international law. 

Legal Violations: Under UK and international law, arms exports cannot be licensed if there is a “clear risk” they will be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law. Multiple UN experts, human rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and over 600 UK lawyers have stated that supplying arms to Israel, given its conduct in Gaza, makes the UK complicit in war crimes and potentially genocide.  The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has also found a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. 

UK’s Actions Under Starmer: Despite this, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government has continued to supply weapons.  In September 2024, it suspended only 30 out of 350 arms export licenses, explicitly excluding components for F-35 fighter jets, which are being used in deadly airstrikes on Gaza.  Research shows that direct shipments of F-35 parts and thousands of munitions have continued from the UK to Israel since the conflict began. 

Complicity and Misleading Statements: The UK government has been accused of misleading Parliament and the public by claiming these exports are “defensive” or have ceased, while evidence shows the lethal supply chain remains active.  By knowingly providing weapons used in unlawful attacks on civilians, the UK and its leaders, including Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, are legally complicit in war crimes.

Long after prominent, malign influencers have turned up their toes, their LIES still continue to possess a life of their own…

Scroll down…

p.s. they are most assuredly NOT whistle-blowers (sic). They are complainants. Thanks.

Yes, hundreds of Tony Blair’s expenses claims were destroyed by Westminster officials in May 2008, just before the full UK parliamentary expenses scandal broke in 2009. 

Officials claimed the documents relating to his Sedgefield constituency home, Myrobella, were shredded “by mistake” because they were unaware the files were the subject of a legal challenge under the Freedom of Information Act.  While the House of Commons initially apologised for the error, a later investigation by Channel 4 revealed in May 2009 that none of Blair’s expenses were actually shredded, contradicting earlier reports. 

The shredded documents were reported to cover claims totaling £43,029 over a three-year period. 

The destruction occurred while a High Court ruling was pending to make these specific expenses public.

Campaigners, including Norman Baker MP, criticised the incident as either incompetence or obstruction of the Freedom of Information Act. 

“Did Blair escape all criticism / accountability regardless?”

No, Tony Blair did not escape criticism, although he largely avoided formal accountability. 

While the claim that his expenses were shredded was later retracted (Channel 4 News reported in 2009 that they were not destroyed), Blair faced significant criticism for his financial dealings:

Expenses & Property: He was heavily criticised for his “flipping” of second home allowances, notably remortgaging his Sedgefield home, Myrobella, for £296,000—far exceeding its purchase price—and using taxpayer allowances to cover the interest, which helped finance his London property purchases. 

Post-PM Earnings: Since leaving office, he has faced ongoing scrutiny and accusations of conflicts of interest due to his highly lucrative roles, such as his £2 million-a-year consultancy with JP Morgan while serving as a Middle East envoy funded by international donors, including the UK taxpayer. 

Tax Affairs: His company, Windrush Ventures, reported £12 million in income but only £1 million in profit, leading to criticism over complex tax structures and high “administrative expenses,” though his affairs were declared legal. 

Blair has consistently defended his actions as legal, but critics, including former colleagues, argue they represent an abuse of the system he once criticised.
