UK spy flights

On 11 June 2026, the day that John Healey resigned as Defence Secretary, Declassified UK posted on X:

Defence Secretary Healey authorised hundreds of UK spy flights for Israeli intelligence during a genocide.
He was never seriously questioned on this let alone held to account, and now freely leaves office.
The real issue here is our governance: one national media won’t tell.[3]
