Many profound moments already and that disgusting R4 Today programme 'interview' was rightfully called out.

Zack and Owen

πŸš„ Brexit means Britain’s left off the map and cut off.

The EU is launching a Europe-wide high-speed rail network: 49,400 km linking every capital and major city at 250–350 km/h.

It’s the future of green travel and connection.

And we’re not on it πŸ™ to #brexit.

One-third of UK children grow up in poverty, higher risk of dying young.

In some areas 62% of children live in poverty.

Children’s education, health, future employment prospects destroyed.

Caused by govts - austerity, low wages, spending cuts, fiscal rules.

Poverty is a political choice.

Stop conflating the Jewish people with Israel's genocide.

Those who present opposition to Israeli war crimes as attacks on the Jewish people aren't just deeply cynical - they are dangerously irresponsible.
