Petition | Arms Embargo Against Israel International petition calling for an arms embargo against Israel. Now!

Today we join If Not Now, Voices against War and Refuser Solidarity Network to demand an immediate arms embargo on Israel. The UK government must stop arming Israel NOW: www.gaza.refuser.org?utm_source=x...

.@BBCNews ..'the fighting continues in Gaza' .. or more accurately 'the SLAUGHTER continues' - 'the murder of children continues', 'Israel's genocide on Palestinians continues...' NOTHING can justify what Israel is doing now. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine

Agree Richard.. UK is in a worse situation than Germany. In UK 2024 election 40% of the electorate could not,did not or WOULD NOT vote. Labour got barely 20% of vote. In Germany 83.5% turn out. Engagement & something to vote for & some form of PR is key.

Palestinian boy injured as Israel continues raids across West Bank A 13-year-old boy was injured by bullet shrapnel outside a school as Israeli forces raided Nablus.

Meanwhile the genocide continues as Israel refuses to let even tents into Gaza (while preparing to restart the bombing) and continues shooting youngsters in the West Bank www.aljazeera.com/program/news...

"West Bank" .NOT. Gaza

Petition: Ban wind farms on protected peat land in England In its recent consultation on new onshore wind planning regulations, the government asked if some habitats, such as those containing peat soils, need extra protection from renewable energy development...

So, please will you sign and share the Parliamentary Petition to ban windfarms on protected peatland in England? Anything else counters the UK government's commitment to COP 28 Joint Statement on Climate, Biodiversity and People petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

It's an excuse to carry on bombing. They are shelling central Gaza heavily as we speak. Netanyahu doesn't want a ceasefire - he and his fascist cronies want the war to continue and Palestininans obliterated. Stop arming them and arrest the criminals is the only way.

Private sector’s role in cutting NHS waiting lists in England to rise by 20% Critics decry Keir Starmer’s plan as ‘feeding the parasite’ rather than investing in the public health service

Starmer deepens NHS privatisation.

Can increase NHS capacity by buying private hospitals.

Plan won't generate new health staff. Private sector will poach NHS staff.

NHS to be a shell, doling out contracts to private sector. 30%-40% money will vanish in profits.

In a small Pennine market town, we carry on making a big noise for Palestine. "From Todmorden to Palestine, Occupation is a crime" #FreePalestine #StoparmingIsrael

All you say is correct ..there is so much more .. NHS privatisation, Refugees, Welfare, Gaza to name a few. It's shocking to those of us who had no illusions from the start. But do you imply there's hope for change? They may or may not win the next election. But something different is needed now.

Thoughts on the fall out from gov decision not to compensate #WASPI (3.8 Million) women-
A very high proportion of pensioners ALWAYS vote. A higher proportion of women than men (used to) vote LABOUR
In July Lab achieved one of the lowest votes ever. So where are their votes coming from next time?

IDS basically supporting Labour's DWP paper .. what more do you need to know about the principles (or lack thereof) of this government - principles which choose to attack the poorest & most vulnerable instead of the rich & powerful. Bullying pure & simple #wato

.It's cruel and unnecessary & shows exactly his priorities. No wonder Tory shadow minister Kevin Hollinrake saud this morning that he supported Labour's approach ..

Absolute b****cks - of course it's the business of the Home Secretary whether someone is arrested on UK soil and sent to the ICC at The Hague. #ArrestNetanyahu #GazaGenocide

An inheritance tax charge helps farming to reclaim farming for farmers and for the benefit of the people of this country. Labour is, for once, on their side and even doing the right thing.

Your post is actually far more sympathetic to farmers in general than your introductory blurb would imply!
