DNC attendees cover their ears as the names of dead Palestinian children are read as they leave the convention

Post Office pays £256.9m to law firms in relation to Horizon IT scandal. Despite sending innocent postmasters to prison, lawyers are quids in. Directors, lawyers, auditors, accountants, advisers all conspired. None charged/prosecuted. Will they ever be? theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Today's price cap announcement means a 10% increase in energy prices. It's not right that people are subjected to a rollercoaster of prices changing every three months when what they need is long term energy security.

You would think that as an MP or indeed the Leader of a council, you’d go out of your way to make sure your properties were in the best condition. Not Jas Athwal. But he’s part of Starmer’s project so unlikely to face any consequences bbc.com/news/articles/…

When Israel is carrying out a genocidal assault in Gaza, we shouldn't just ban a small fraction of arms licences to Israel. This ban still allows the UK to sell parts for F-35 fighter jets, known as "the most lethal" in the world. The government needs to ban ALL arms sales.

30 out of 350 arms licenses. Gives a whole new meaning to gesture politics. This will do nothing to stop Israel’s efforts to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and make Gaza and the West Bank inhabitable

Jas Athwal - a rogue landlord - still has the Labour whip, while those Labour MPs who voted to end the two-child benefit cap don’t.

Genuinely one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen

Another boat capsizing in the Channel with horrifying consequences. We will keep seeing lives lost until we create more safe routes for people to apply for asylum from abroad

Our response to today's publication of the Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 Report

Justice for Grenfell. 72 people lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. Victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect.

So was I, it was the first thing I noticed. Shameful.

Royal Mail could be allowed to end second class letters delivery on Saturdays. 1st class stamp now £1.35; 2nd class 85p. Privatised 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. 70%-125% price rise for worse service. Privatisation = higher prices, lower service. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Blair is speaking, as he increasingly does, irresponsibly & without understanding. Grenfell was not the result of 'mistakes', but fraud by manufacturers, complicity by testing bodies, dereliction of safety duty by architects & construction companies, and inaction by politicians.
