For anyone who is still wondering why I'm frustrated at the UK Government on drug consumption rooms - this was a year ago at PMQs. It's in their power to change the legal framework.
This was over a year ago, when I presented a 10 minute rule bill, in an attempt to answer the issue of legal framework. To date, no @ukhomeoffice Minister has agreed to meet with me to discuss it.

This is from back in October 2016, when @GCHSCP approved plans for drug consumption rooms - which the UK Government have consistently refused to grant.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
And this is the 'Taking Away the Chaos' report establishing the need for medically supervised drug consumption rooms.

It's very comprehensive and worth a read.

UK flagged oil/chemical tanker STENA IMPERO doing something interesting at the moment. It's port is the opposite way of where it's heading, and it's heading directly for the #Iran|ian island of Qeshm.. 🤔
The track of this ship is incredibly concerning, if it continues on it's track towards Iran, which it's only 9.5 nautical miles from..
Here's an image by Relic in Crustacean Nation - this track is the rather concerning part.

Theresa May's legacy will be one of Constant & Unmitigated Lies, War Crimes & Treason:-

Skripal Poisoning Update - The Alleged Russian Poisoners and the UK Government's Lies.
The UK gov's official narrative is IMPOSSIBLE to be true

#PMQs
Theresa May's legacy will be War Crimes, Mass Murder & Genocide in #Yemen for arms company profits.

Over 8 million people are at risk of dying from starvation and cholera due to the US & UK backed Saudi illegal Invasion & War of Aggression.

#PMQs
Theresa May's legacy will be the deliberate encouragement & recruitment of al-Qaeda & ISIS supporting extremists for domestic terrorist attacks in the UK and Europe.

Corbyn doesn’t mention Brexit in #PMQs. Understandable with compromise talks lined up for this afternoon. Focuses on Universal Credit, poverty instead. PM bracing herself from some furious Qs from the benches behind her, I suspect.
Not long ago the PM would say a Brexit deal must deliver her red lines of independent law-making, trade. Not anymore. In response to Owen Smith’s #PMQs question, she says she wants to end free movement. That’s about it. Clearly prepared to soften her position.
The PM’s new Brexit buzz phrases: “Orderly,” “as soon as possible,” and “without having to fight European elections.” How far we have come since independent trade policy, no ECJ, and no payments to the EU #PMQs.

Ahead of of #PMQs, here's what is actually happening with #Brexit at the moment (thread):
Theresa May's government has become the first in history to be held in "contempt of parliament" after refusing to release the full legal advice offered on the Brexit divorce deal po.st/WgEww8
MPs have won the right to have a "meaningful vote" on Brexit plans if the PM's withdrawal agreement is defeated in parliament next week po.st/zc58Dr

UK’s @AmbassadorAllen:

#Novichok is not a weapon that can be manufactured by non-state actors… #Russia has provided no credible explanation… Therefore, we have no alternative but to conclude that the #Russian state was responsible [for a chemical weapons attack on my country].
This was an attack on #UK soil… #Russia is failing to comply with the conditions of the Chemical Weapons Convention…

Let us turn to the part of the CWC that #Russia is not talking about - Russia did not declare #Novichok & is therefore in serious breach of the CWC.
This was a reckless act… #Russia officials have repeatedly threatened those they consider traitors, before & after March 4 attack.

Russia has a history of political assassinations, interfering in other countries & a total disregard for civilian life.
