A letter from opposition party leaders says 'time is running out' and Yemen 'stands on the brink of catastrophe'.

This included 10,852 of the 17,640 UN documented civilian casualties in Yemen.

They accused the UK of being unwilling to accept any correlation between the UK's arms trade and support for the Saudi government, a key ally in the region.

What the BREXIT process has proved is that a simple yes or no vote on such a massive issue is not enough! Both YES and NO groups can be split into different exit approaches! So voting needs to be more complex for a more complex society, than when parliament was created!

Mmm. 'sky' news

No chance of that it's all about the money. Hypocrites

Yeah, that'll do it, send Saudi Arabia to Putin and Xi.

So what have the five parties got in place of those who will lose there jobs and the country lose those Specialized jobs? Oh and the surrounding areas of supply? Easy to ask when you can make money but what about the loss of it what takes it’s place🤷🏻‍♂️

What? And lose all that lovely revenue? There’s business & there’s Yemen.... which one is going to win?

Who is urging Iran to suspend arms sales to Yemen ?

So these advocates prefer the Houthi to win, a paramilitary group of Iran’s IRGC? Why do we never hear about them, when they were the ones who started this war, are alien to Yemen, and continue to be the other combatant in this conflict?

Saudi regime has decimated Yemen and has committed war crimes. Still selling them weapons is being complicit. It’s a disgrace.
