The two Israelis killed today were killed when their bulldozer hit an unexploded bomb, which had been dropped by Israel.

The only side that killed, 44 people today, was Israel.

Please RT to get the message out, over all of the lies.

Screenshot of government press release, reading: 

Clean energy jobs boom to bring thousands of new jobs

Clean energy will bring 400,000 extra jobs by 2030, with high demand for roles including plumbers, electricians and welders

Glad to see govt finally grasping the opportunity presented by the move to clean energy - some good measures here

But we need public investment in supply chain industries to create these jobs

And what about a guarantee for workers currently at risk of being pushed out of work?

Israel murdered 44 people in Gaza today because one of Israel's bulldozers hit unexploded ordinance and blew up.

So they blamed Hamas and used it as an excuse to go on a killing spree.

Now they say they will go back to the Ceasefire.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...

'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.

And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.

Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

The new leader of @greenparty.org.uk is putting almost every other party leader in the UK to shame, and a lot more politicians besides.

When did you hear anything like this from any other party leader?

Making the KΓΌhnen salute, with thumb, index and middle finger extended to form a β€œW”—as five protestors accompanying the Reform councillors are doing in the photoβ€”is a criminal offence in Germany. The salute was popularised by the German Neo-Nazi Michael KΓΌhnen.
