💷 Keir Starmer has said Labour will increase defence spending in government.

🤔 But they can't find the money for things like climate action, the NHS or lifting the two-child benefit cap.

💚 Only the Green Party would invest what is necessary to build a fairer, greener country

This is huge.

The Israeli commander to blame for the slaughter of seven foreign aid workers - which inevitably led to aid agencies suspending their work - signed an open letter demanding Gaza was starved of aid.

You don’t need to be a conspiracy theorist to work it out

None of us are going to get anything we want out of them in government.

the planet is on fire, our health service and welfare state have been sliced to ribbons, millions are in poverty, unable to afford to live and the one single solid budget commitment starmer’s labour seem to be willing to make is to purchase more bombs. deplorable.

Make no mistake: there is only one way to possibly save coral reefs. Only one. And it is to end fossil fuels. This is also the only way we can ultimately save ourselves.

This is terrifying.

Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story.

What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform.

Gaza is one of the great journalistic scandals of our time.

Israeli leaders made it clear from the start they were going to:

- Starve Gaza

- Erase Gaza from the map

- Give Israeli soldiers total impunity

This should have defined media coverage.

But it didn't.

Why?

After six months of genocidal mayhem, however belatedly, any voices demanding this ends is welcome.

But this Independent front page is an admission of racism.

They are admitting the obvious reality that Palestinian life is given no value.

That is grotesque.
