REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. The Guardian 'Humanitarian city' would be concentration camp for Palestinians, says former Israeli PM Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has said Israel's plan for a β€˜humanitarian city’ in Rafah would create a β€œconcentration camp” if it goes ahead.

The already devastated Palestinian population cannot be subject to yet more unfathomable cruelty at the hands of Netanyahu.

Reeves says rules and red tape are β€˜boot on the neck’ of business At the Mansion House dinner she calls for regulators to allow more risk to clear the way for economic growth

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

Sad but not surprised to see the 3 Medway MPs voting for the flawed welfare reforms. Our 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against an unfair and cruel bill that again targets the vulnerable. Medway MPs will no doubt make statements justifying their decisions.

Wealth tax is an idea with huge public support. Brilliant to meet with @patrioticmillionaires.org to discuss how a wealth tax could raise billions to fund public services that benefit everyone!

The UK is hugely unequal; taxing wealth will make society fairer.

UK air pollution killing more than 500 people a week, doctors say Royal College of Physicians also says poor air quality costs country more than Β£500m a week

πŸ‘Important new report from @rcphysicians.bsky.social showing just how dangerous air pollution is to our health.

Over 500 people a week dying from dirty air is a public health crisis, and the Government MUST treat it as such. #CleanAirDay

We need council homes.

The vital question is how much of the governments spending will actually result in more council homes?

Saying big numbers is worse than meaningless if it's actually lining the pockets of property developers to build more empty unaffordable buildings.

Reeves touts 'Labour choices' but let's remind ourselves what those Labour choices are πŸ˜•:
Cut support for disabled people and keep hundreds of thousands of children in poverty while refusing to tax wealth fairly #SpendingReview

11.06.2025 11:45 β€” πŸ‘ 241    πŸ” 82    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 2

The Labour Government have made up their own fiscal rules.

Thy'll result in real terms cuts for our vital public services, more children in poverty & disabled people suffering.

All because they're protecting interests of powerful & wealthy.

All choices.

Almost no mention of social care in Reeves’ speechβ€”so disappointing. Fair pay for care workers and a boost to the NHS are welcome, but that alone will not repair the care sector. We need a fully funded social care system if we want to free up hospital beds and ensure dignity for all.Β #SpendingReview

Swifts are amazing. A single swift can fly 2 million miles in its lifetime with a top speed of nearly 70 mph 😳 Yet they’re under pressure as never before. Please do as @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social asks - lobby your MP to overturn this Govt’s obdurate refusal to mandate swift bricks in new homes πŸ‘‡

The Government says it will take 'concrete action' if Israel does not stop its latest attack on Gaza and end restrictions on aid.

The time for action is now. The UN has warned that 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours.

End arms sales. Impose sanctions. RecogniseΒ Palestine.

In March, I pressed Daniel Zeichner directly about how farmers who were midway through their SFI cancellation had been promised six weeks’ notice if the scheme were to close, and yet had the rug pulled from under them when the scheme was cancelled with zero warning. 1/3

Since the partial suspension of export licences in September 2024, the UK has exported over 8000 individual munitions, 150,000 bullets and 299 "tanks and other armored fighting vehicles" to Israel.

Continuing to arm a genocidal regime is indefensible.

The UK must end ALL arms sales to Israel.

The Green Party has always been clear, the Government must recognise the state of Palestine.

And now Labour are even being outflanked by the Tories on this issue.

In the face of clear genocide and ethnic cleansing by Israel, there is only one correct course of action.

The Government's disability benefit cuts will affect 700,000 families who are already in poverty as well as driving another 250,000 people below the poverty line.

Labour are CHOOSING to target nearly 1 million disabled people instead of taxing the super-rich fairly.
