Brake responds to Lords' International Relations Committee report on the Middle East

Today, the Lords Select Committee on International Relations has published a report on UK policy in the Middle East which argues that UK should distance itself from Trump; recognise Palestine as a state and support the Iran Nuclear deal.

Responding Shadow Foreign Secretary, Tom Brake MP said:

"The Conservatives have shown a willingness to pander to Donald Trump, turn their backs on international commitments and give little thought to international security. 

"This report is damning of the Tory government's record, but also makes clear recommendations that PM Theresa May must now heed. 

"The British people deserve a government that stands up for what is right, while seeking to create a more stable and united international community. Only the Liberal Democrats are fighting for a UK which is open, tolerant and united."

John Hemming said: "I agree entirely with my colleague on this. It is interesting that a Lords Select Committee which has members from all parties has concluded as it has."

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
