Whoever thought it would be a good idea to use the old Blairite/Alistair Campbell strategy of Milburn floating the idea of cuts in benefits in advance of the statement ? I will wait until we see the actual report and statement before commenting but to be absolutely clear I expect the government to uphold its commitment to no crude cuts. Preventing young people’s access to sickness and disability benefits will be interpreted by many as crude cuts.

I spoke to @mrjamesob on @LBC yesterday about Sohan's and my three year investigation into an Israel-linked racist campaign attacking the US and Europe with anti-migrant and anti-Muslim ads.

For the UK, MPs need to raise in the parliament.

Labour will work with Reform.
Labour will work with the Tories.

But not the Greens, even when local people want it.

Standing up for Palestinians is a red line. Working with Reform isn't.

Want a party that won't pick on disabled people & taxes the rich?

Can't wait for @SheffieldGreens to take on Labour at the ballot box in May.

Let voters decide if they want a party that cares more about their city than supporting Israel's genocide.

Want to help us win?

Ministers have until the end of this year to give notice and get Palantir out of our NHS. Miss it, and we’re locked in for years.

We’re handing £330m of public money to a US spytech firm for software NHS staff don’t even want to use. Any benefits of the system have been shown to be largely unsubstantiated.

We know that there are ready-made, alternatives that could step in and do a better job – keeping our health data under systems owned and controlled by the NHS.

Does this new climate "leadership" look like rolling back on electric vehicles, cutting warmer homes and extracting new oil and gas?

No, thanks.

Labour have collapsed Sheffield Council, for this.

[Janine di Giovanni @janinedigi]

Just returned from West Bank. It is the worse Israeli violence against Palestinians that I’ve seen in 31 years. Settlers acting with vicious impunity while the @IDF stands by or protects the settlers. This level of violence, total erasures of Palestinian communities can’t go on

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Don’t anyone tell me that Israel represents all Jews. It sure as hell in no way represents me. It violates the basic values of our history & has become the antithesis of what that history has taught us: Never Again for all humanity

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

This is a degree of psychosis that I’m not sure any other country has reached, certainly not apartheid South Africa.
In a sane, caring world Israel would be the ultimate pariah nation, forced to behave like human beings or forced out of existence

[Felicity Campbell @feli_campbell]

I have absolutely no idea why my timeline is completely ignoring the suspension of Labour MP Perran Moon today. He was just caught trying to dissolve his private company without paying back a £50,000 taxpayer-funded Covid loan. Right as this government prepares to hammer ordinary families with tax hikes in the Budget.

Here is what they desperately hope stays quiet!🧵

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

The word is GENOCIDE - if those committing & justifying GENOCIDE don't like the word - I have other words they will equally not like.

Zionism IS racism & Zionism is a choice.
Those slaughtered in its name are victims of racism.

“The past three years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza is appalling. It’s an injustice for people to being denied their freedom, their safety and their dignity. No human being should be treated as though their life matters less,” Hamilton said

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Labour HQ in London have decided Sheffield council must collapse because of insufficient fealty to Israel.

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

Labour was once the workers party. It’s now the political wing of Palantir.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

“Under international law, hospitals are afforded protected status but have been repeatedly attacked by Israel… the World Health Organisation has documented 1048 attacks on healthcare facilities…”

The BBC now including this context reveals it was consciously omitting it before.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Labour MPs are right to be concerned.

More tinkering and hiring
right wing US consultants won’t solve the disastrous cost of living crisis for households and businesses.

Andy Burnham said he'd end neoliberalism but there seems to be no plan or resolve to do it.

Oh, fancy that, having paid for an ex-police chief, here come some contracts.
