Now I've just found out that council car parks in Cornwall aren't free for Blue Badge holders. WTF Cornwall?

Do they not have autistic children in Cornwall?! This woman was working in a tourist location as well.

Son having a public meltdown on holiday in Cornwall. Husband was with him and I was a little way away with our youngest. Woman decides to come and get involved and started having a go at my husband! Didn't leave until I stepped in and told her son is autistic. This has never happened to us before...

๐Ÿšจ NEW: Less than one-third of the public think Keir Starmer is doing all he reasonably could & should to protect children from violence & starvation in Gaza, our new polling with @yougov.co.uk shows.

The UK Government cannot stand by whilst Gazaโ€™s population is starved & bombed in plain sight.

โ€œAirdrops are totally unnecessary, inefficient, costly, and risky,โ€ our Juliette Touma tells DW News. โ€œThereโ€™s a safer, faster, more dignified way: by road.โ€

During the ceasefire earlier this year, the UN โ€” including UNRWA โ€” brought in 500โ€“600 trucks a day. We must return to that.

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only โ€˜debateโ€™ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

RNLI crew makes no apologies for saving lives in English Channel It says it has saved the lives of 58 people crossing the Channel "in their most distressing times".

Standing back and watching people die is not a British Value.

Well done the RNLI.

Quote from Benjamin Netanyahu: "We strongly condemn President Macron's decision to recognise a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the 7 October massacre. A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel - not to live in peace beside it. Let's be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel."

Netanyahu names his enemy, and it's not Hamas

Mass starvation stalks Gaza as deaths from hunger rise Aid agencies warned for months that Israelโ€™s harsh limits on food aid would bring acute malnutrition and widespread suffering to Gazaโ€™s 2.1 million people.

โ€œTheir small bodies are shutting down โ€” they canโ€™t breathe, their immune systems are collapsing.โ€ Children are dying from starvation.

Nearly 1 in 3 people are going days without food. This is preventable. They need food, water, care โ€” urgently.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

โ€œJust outside Gaza, tons of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items & fuel sit untouched with humanitarian organisations blocked from accessing or delivering them," write 109 aid agencies today.

Israel is committing Palestinian genocide and it is monstrous.

While the lifelines in #Gaza are being cut, our ability to save lives slips further each day, as seen in recent attacks on our facilities.

@who.int will remain in Deir al Balah to deliver aid.

We call on Member States to help ensure a sustained, safe and regular flow of medical supplies into Gaza.

Carla Denyer, "Palestinian mothers are repeatedly watching their children starve to death, be maimed, killed and be buried alive"

"And that this is deliberate, part of Israel's strategy to physically and psychologically destroy women and continuity of the Palestinian people"

Exactly. How can anyone just sit back and watch children being bombed and starved to death and be OK with that?

This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide.

We are doing this and history will never forgive us.
