The hypocrisy is staggering. In just a few weeks, people across the UK will be wearing poppies, and saying ‘never again’ as they remember the horrors of past wars and genocides. But right now, as a genocide in Gaza is being live-streamed, most are sitting in silence, going about

I wasn’t selected to speak in the Urgent Question on Gaza today. What I was going to ask is: when will the government end its complicity in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people? When will it implement sanctions, withdraw diplomatic support and suspend ALL arms sales?

Worse than Iain Duncan Smith! 👉Liz Kendall wants job coaches to visit mental health patients when they are in hospital. 👉Wes Streeting wants to give overweight unemployed people an anti-obesity 'vaccine'.

If the US, UK & Germany halted arms sales to Israel today, the slaughter would come to a stop in a matter of days, as Israel would run out of the military matériel required to continue. Every death is as much the responsibility of these governments. At Shadow World Investigations we are

Ahead of the budget, the Independent Alliance is asking the Chancellor to: 1. Scrap the 2-child benefits cap 2. Reverse cuts to winter fuel 3. Tax wealth 4. Protect welfare 5. Invest in a greener future We have the means to end poverty. We just need the political will.

Abolishing the £2 bus fare cap is a political choice disproportionately hitting the poor. With rising costs & stagnant wages, it’s a step backwards - especially when more accessible transport is needed. The government must reverse this & introduce wealth taxes to fund services.

The ICJ ruling highlighted “plausible” risk of genocide in Gaza from Israel's actions. In the Commons today, the Foreign Secretary shamefully claimed using the term "genocide" to describe the deaths of over 100,000 Palestinians undermines its seriousness. History will remember.

Instead of expressing "concern" about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, isn't it time we stopped supplying Israel with the weapons that have caused the catastrophe in the first place?

‘I do know how important it is… ‘ so I’m raising the cost by 50%… I don’t drive. I catch the bus a lot. I see first hand who this policy will impact on. One word - SHAMEFUL

PIP fraud is at 0.2%. It’s slightly higher for Universal Credit but still v. low. Labour is posturing they’ll ‘flush out’ big gangs. What they’ll actually do is terrify claimants into not spending money on basic things—food, a coffee out—with deadly and demeaning consequences.

The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet. As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms
