Ed Miliband’s pledge to cut energy bills was doomed from start Experts believe the government cannot meet its pledge to cut bills by £300 and prices are rising. But it’s not all bad — investment now should pay off in future

Miliband’s £300 off your energy bills by 2030 pledge became an aspiration to cut them by up to £300 bit.ly/3Kc6JqY but now even that looks doomed as a cut of as little as £1 looks ambitious

Govt minister Alison McGovern says yes, she's worried about super rich individuals donating huge amounts of money to politicians.

If only you were in a position to do something about it, eh? #GMB

Whatever the US does in Venezuela is simply "a matter for the US", says foreign minister Baroness Chapman.

@adilray.bsky.social asks Alison McGovern if we should apply the same rules and sanctions against Israel that we do with Russia

McGovern dodges the question about sanctions on Israel & instead says the govt is straining every sinew to make them effective against Russia.

Shame as the Sentence: Unleashing the Public on Offenders Aitchison and Meckled-García discuss the ethical implications of naming and shaming as a form of punishment.

Shame as the sentence
Is “naming and shaming” ever a punishment that fits the crime? The UK government has proposed a section of its new Sentencing Bill, Clause 35, that re-introduces public shaming.

The UK Ministry of Defence is training Israeli military personnel in Britain at no cost to itself.

So who is paying for it?

Israel's attack on Iran is based on a pack of lies.

New post: www.owenjones.news/p/israels-cr...

The main protagonist in the Middle East is Netanyahu's Zionist govt (bombing everyone within reach).

One pathway to peace wd be to remove Netanyahu & his govt from office.

Thousands of innocent lives wd be saved, at least.

Lisa Nandy: "We have to give people more choice at the end of their lives"

More choice? Hospices mostly rely on charity & the fact your pushing assisted dying without a publicly funded & fully resourced hospice system within the NHS is a disgrace.

"Health officials in Gaza say Israeli forces have killed at least 34 people in two incidents [today]"

'We disagree on this point'

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy tells #BBCBreakfast only a 'handful' of Labour MPs have spoken to her about government plans to cut disability benefits, after Labour MP Vicky Foxcroft resigned as a whip over the issue

Well done to Adil Ray for pointing out the hypocrisy of the govt. When in opposition they called on the govt to publish the legal advice it had received on Israels action, but now they are in govt they refuse to publish it #GMB

Nandy, who refused to say again & again whether Israel breached intl law when it cut off power & water to Gaza, says this is a govt that is committed to acting in accordance with intl law

The same govt that refused to confirm it would uphold an arrest warrant from the ICC

👏👏👏

Israel again included in UN blacklist for grave violations against children Violence against children in conflicts hit ‘unprecedented levels’ in 2024, with most abuses committed in Gaza, UN says.

We’re told these welfare cuts are the start of “reform”.

But what kind of reform starts by taking billions from those already struggling?

If this is the plan - to balance the books by shredding an already ragged safety net - I won’t back it.

Real reform uplifts. It doesn’t punch-down.
