It has been a month since any aid entered Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel has announced its intention to seize large areas of Palestinian territory.

Our government's response? To continue to allow the supply of arms to Israel.

"Food supplies are running dangerously low in Gaza a month after Israel imposed a total blockade on the strip. All bakeries have been forced to shut down because of a shortage of flour & diesel. Bread is the main staple for the 2.3m Palestinians relying on aid to survive"

1.2bn is the price Murdoch is prepared to lose just to run the Sun. That's the value he places on its ability to influence British politics...

We need to reform media ownership laws to prevent billionaire foreigners from buying influence over the direction of our country.

The man who celebrates sacking thousands of people is crying because someone pointed out he can't run his company.

#WealthTax now. Tax the non-doms properly. No more concessions for them
Surprisingly free to read article points out Β£s based on only the very wealthiest + that this was a Tory policy first.
If Starmer the Harmer caves in, he may as well join Tice in Dubai.

Austerity is as close to political madness as any policy gets
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Austerity is as close to political madness as any policy gets

Austerity is as close to political madness as any policy gets. What it guarantees is that things that could be done are not done, and that is bound to lead to political failure.

Why is Westminster pushing for Israel trade deal even as Gaza burns? ISRAEL’S genocidal attacks on Gaza have resumed, breaking the ceasefire that provided some fragile respite for Palestinians ...

#UK #israel #gaza #palestine #starmer The UK Government continues to claim it is using all its diplomatic influence to restore a ceasefire, but it has ruled out suspending its trade agreement with Israel. Moves to restrict trade with Israel could have a genuine impact, if coordinated with others.

Pecksniff: Where has all the money gone? In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Britain is poverty-stricken.

Many in full employment rely on food banks. Our waterways are poisoned. We are the sixth largest economy in the world.

Where has all the money gone?

From the Guardian: β€œOne cabinet minister in the eye of the storm has complained privately that hospitality is par for the course in the private sector and that nobody can expect MPs to know who is paying for every pint of beer placed in front of them.”

UK ministers and officials treated to hospitality 3,500 times in five years, study finds Some of firms providing meals and tickets also among those to secure most meetings in key departments

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Some of the firms that provided the hospitality were also among those to secure the most meetings in key government departments, underlining the potential benefit to offering β€œfreebies”.

For potential benefit read corruption, kick back, greasy palms etc etc

Laurence Fox knew this was illegal when he did it, he said they wouldn't dare do anything.

He needs the maximum sentence, 6 months in prison.

#AngelaRayner
"Handouts" is appalling language.

These are social security payments everyone is entitled to should they be eligible

Her language feeds straight into #Reform 'underserving poor', gutter.

When she was in receipt of 'handouts' as a single mum, was she so self bloody righteous?

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

If you're a journalist in the US and you're not speaking out against the ongoing killing of Palestinian journalists, at record levels, by a US-funded foreign military, then you should hang your head in shame.

People on Universal Credit LCWRA are among the poorest and most vulnerable in the country.

Not everyone on LCWRA is on PIPβ€”or eligible. Yet proposed cuts could leave them thousands worse off each year.

This is unacceptable and discrimination.

See you in court @teamlabouruk.bsky.social.

With power comes the opportunity to be abusive, and that is the option Starmer has chosen The Guardian reports this morning that Starmer is determined to keep up his assault on people with disabilities in the UK. Like Wes Streeting, who yesterday declared himself to know better than doctor...

β€œAnyone saying Starmer has no choice but to cut #disabilitybenefits is lying.

Every minister who says that will be lying. There exist a multitude of better choices.

But with power comes the opportunity to be abusive, & that is the option Starmer has chosen.”

Really sick of seeing people complain about Palestinians On Here asking for help. You might be tired of seeing them, but I'm pretty sure they're tired of being genocided, so maybe be kind to them for a change?

No one is asking you to do anything you aren't able to do. Just boost some posts.
