What should happen is for the UK Government to declare the Israel Government a terrorist organisation and ban all support for it. The data in favour is overwhelming.

On today’s march, police arrested a blind man in a wheelchair and a 90 year old woman, for protesting against a genocide.

This is exactly what Netanyahu has wanted all along - and he’s been allowed to do it all!

What an absolute disgrace.

The weakness of leaders around the world - who’ve enabled this - will be remembered for generations #auspol

For the record, I am not a Jeremy Corbyn fan. Mainly because of his opposition to Scottish independence - a red line for me - but also because I didn't think he was a particularly good leader; didn't know how to play the game and came across as slightly miffed most of the time when pressed

Fertility rates below two seem sensible to me. Too many humans on the planet already.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social Hi Cerys, really getting into pinch harmonics at the moment. Perhaps a feature on your Monday night show could highlight this. Thinking of the sadly missed Rory Gallacher Messin with the kid and zz top La Grange. There must be countless other examples!

George Bernard Shaw wrote an article this week in 1914 urging both sides to shoot their officers and go home.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

We now live in a world where the POTUS can casually tell reporters that he employed underage girls and they were trafficked from his hotel - and nothing happens.

Palestine Action have won their bid for a full legal challenge against the British government's decision to ban it as a terrorist group

The High Court ruled that an internal Home Office process was "not suitable", partly because "many people now subject to criminal proceedings" linked to the ban

Labour is attempting a "fake EU 'reset' to mask US-style deregulation" using Statutory Instruments to bypass Parliament and lower food standards so the UK can be a dumping ground for the US πŸ‘‡

Keir Starmer's unwillingness to criticise Israel for murdering Palestinian civilians seeking food is a stain on Starmer and the Labour party

Sanctions on Russia for murdering Ukrainians, no sanctions on Israel for the continued murder of starving Palestinians

What a disgrace

Suspending MPs because they stood up for their principles is a sign of weakness from Starmer and McSweeney, not strength

In 1997 47 Labour MPs voted against Tony Blair's plans to abolish single-parent benefits, with a further 100 abstaining.

Not a single one of them had the whip removed

Another petty counterproductive move from Starmer. Punishing MPs who stood against a widely unpopular policy won’t endear him to the public or improve discipline in the party. It just makes him look like he hasn’t learnt a thing - morally or practically - from the disability cuts. Because he hasn’t.

The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison.

The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

A large majority across Europe would support an independent Scotland joining the EU - more than would support the UK rejoining. Only the rest of the UK is against.

Denmark is keener than we are!
