Where is the outrage now that mass graves have been found in Gaza?

Why don’t we know more about the bodies found with hands tied & clothing stripped?

Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this?

Where is the international condemnation?

The Prime Minister talks of a so-called 'sicknote culture', and is proposing major changes to disability benefits.

We won't allow disabled people to be demonised like this. That's why we're supporting Scope's petition.

Modern Football in a nutshell. Denied one of the greatest FA Cup moments of all time by virtual lines literally one centimetre apart. It's dead. Absolutely HATE it.

This was another alarming part of the speech this morning.

DWP has consistently refused to guarantee that claimants' benefits won't be cut off altogether if someone does not engage with the migration notice.

Bringing this date forward is extremely risky.

As the number of children forced into squalid housing rises, schools have found themselves on the frontline of a health housing crisis

I followed staff dealing with this. Some kids are coming in poorly due to mould, others are woken by rats in their sleep

Enfield Council has been sending local homeless families stuck in hotels to live in Hartlepool and Durham - essentially giving them an ultimatum to move hundreds of miles away or face sleeping rough.

We're glad to hear experts Resolution Foundation's event recognise the inadequacy of Local Housing Allowance, even after this month's increase, and the pressure this puts low-income households under.

LHA needs to cover rent, and renters need proper security in the

'Using' the private sector IS pouring money in without reform.

Why do people like Streeting think that when we privatise things a magic fairy makes them free?

As part of @endchildpoverty we're handing in a giant unhappy birthday card to @Dwpgovuk to mark 7 yrs of the two-child limit to benefits.

We're glad to see attention on this important issue. Asking people on the lowest incomes to pay huge amounts in Council Tax just causes debt, stress, and impossible choices.

Yesterday's benefits increases are an attempt to catch up with soaring prices, not real-terms growth, and as essential costs continue to rise, many will be unable to get by.

The UK Government must and make sure social security reflects true living costs.

Recall Parliament.

The British public must now know the legal advice the UK Govt has received about Israel’s violations of international law in Gaza.

That it’s not been brought before the House is unacceptable & calls into question David Cameron’s position as Foreign Secretary.
