So tedious. Again: the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement and security parts of EU-UK trade deal are predicated on ECHR membership, as Sunak well knows. This is just playground talk.

I knew that anything I wrote about Gaza would be wholly inadequate. So I've held back. But that's not the answer, is it? So, to Gaza, with love. It's what I have 🥀

Netanyahu is a madman, truly

Attacking Iran's consulate in Damascus, and now threatening to shutdown Al Jazeera. Guess he doesn't want the world to see Israelis mass protests against him & his Govt.

Is he trying to start a war, to distract them?

Last week I asked the government whether or not the Foreign Secretary had received legal advice saying that there is a clear risk that items licensed by the UK might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

Feb 2020: £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP

Squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich, contracts 4 cronies.
No new industries.
Public services destroyed.

Just to be clear - tactical voting is NOT the same as saying 'dont vote Labour'.

Tactical voting is about getting the Tory out no matter what, whether that means voting Labour, LD, Green or Independent, or SNP or Plaid Cymru.

It's about who can win in your constituency.

Canda will suspend future arms sales to Israel - when will the UK do the same? Not right to be selling weapons to a state committing war crimes and possible genocide theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

MAJOR BREAKING:

The United Steelworkers union has endorsed President Biden and has released a powerful video showing their support with workers calling Joe Biden the most pro-union President they have ever seen.

Trump ain't gonna win. That's the beautiful reality which is slowly emerging from its crysalis and stretching its wings in the spring sunshine.

Trump will lose.

The Tories have destroyed this country. I genuinely have no idea where we go from here.
