Sign the petition: Stop all UK support for the Israeli military in Gaza
I've signed a petition calling for Keir Starmer to end all UK military support in Israel.
Israel plans to take over Gaza City. Starmer says their plan is wrong & they must rethink it, but the UK is still supporting Israel with arms sales, training, RAF surveillance flights & more. Sign the petition: tell Keir he MUST end this support: 38d.gs/hwpb?utm_cam...

Something stinks about Thames Water's sewage plant upgrade costs. How can it be 15x more expensive than building a new one in other countries?

MPโs second jobs are institutionalised bribery. They should be banned.
'Preventing MPs from selling their souls to the highest bidder is a necessary step in democratising parliament.'
Remember when former UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng & Health Secretary Matt Hancock demanded ยฃ10,000 a day to further the interests of a South Korean company?
This is still possible. Too many MPs chase money rather than serving the people.
Must ban second jobs.

7% fewer GPs with 20% less funding (ยฃ/patient) to provide care
