The great dividers want you to think the problems in society are caused by migrants and refugees.
They’re wrong.
The problems in society are caused by an unjust economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich.

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

Today, we rejoice in the sight of children celebrating in Gaza, but we mourn for the children whose laughter we will never hear.

Keir Starmer is a plastic patriot just like Nigel Farage
Reform and Labour can wrap themselves in as many union jacks as they want — this is what my country means to me, by Jeremy Corbyn
Real patriotism isn’t about bashing migrants or minorities. It’s about caring enough to ensure nobody is homeless, hungry or left behind.

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country.
They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends.
We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards.
This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous.
It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

People want lower rents. They want cheaper bills and publicly-owned services. They want an NHS that works.
Why can’t this government just do things that would actually improve people’s lives?
We can fix this country. We just need the political will.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.
It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Today, schoolchildren are taught about history’s worst crimes against humanity.
In the future, they will learn about those who enabled the genocide in Gaza.
They will also learn about the global movement for peace, and above all, the resilience of the Palestinian people.

The Prime Minister could not bring himself to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza during his one-hour conference speech.
We know why: if he did, he would be admitting his government's complicity in the greatest crime of our time.
End all military cooperation with Israel, now.

Two of my constituents have been detained by Israel, following the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
I have written to the Foreign Secretary to ask what steps the UK government is taking to secure their immediate and safe release.

We deplore racist attacks at home for the same reason we deplore genocide abroad: we believe in the equal value of human life.

Today, while Donald Trump dined at Windsor castle, thousands of us turned out to reject a politics of hatred, division and fear.
We had a message to him and our own government: stop appeasing the far-right, stop arming Israel, and start promoting peace and equality instead.

4.5 million children are living in poverty. Our climate is burning. Palestinians are being erased in a genocide.
Up and down the country, people are demanding real change.
None of us will ever give up in our common struggle for a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.

And nothing changes because the difference in potential can't / won't be measured.

We're old so we remember what it meant for people to just kinda 'come out' to a show. The cost and risk is too high for that equation to work out now. & so giant companies earn a couple more $s, balance their books & tighten their grip. Meanwhile potential social bonds are lost. Silos are hardened.

One major SOCIAL PROBLEM IN THE USA about concert ticket prices being so high, is that you rarely as an artist get to play to a room that doesn't already know you.
Some of the excitement of performing comes from encountering people who are just out for the night and don't know what to expect.

Israel bombed a hospital.
Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.
Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.
Read that again.
Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Today is a day of national and international shame.
This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving.
How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.
This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.
No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.
