What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world.

Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop.

EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner.

But of course, Europe needs to do more.

Here are measures for a way forward ↓

Maybe Gary is far more informed than many on here give him credit for.

@devisridhar Not 'becoming' - 'become'. I've just read an excellent book on early 1930s Germany and as I read it I thought the parallels with the zenophobic, populist, truth-bending, nationalistic characteristics of the current UK govt. were deeply unsettling.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@GaryLineker What you said about this govt.'s immigration policy was 100% correct. Never back down on this one. Not that you will.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@bbcquestiontime Yes. The EU's greatest product is not simply trade, but peace and the positive, productive relationships that underpin it.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@RishiSunak @COP27P So is that why you weren't going to go?

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@carolinenokes Your interview on @Channel4News tonight was the most sane, humane and constructive comment on immigration I've heard from a Conservative politician for a very long time. Well spoken.

[Green New Deal Rising @GNDRising]

Last night we disrupted @pritipatel because her #Rwandaplan is cruel, morally bankrupt & it will cost lives.

We demand the Government drops this widely condemned policy & provides support for people seeking safety.

No matter where we come from, we all deserve dignity & respect

@HeleneBismarck I could not agree more but it would be a remarkably gracious act of reacceptance given 🇬🇧's history of juvenile delinquency. I hope it happens though.

@annettedittert Shortly after the Iron Curtain fell I asked a friend in Romania what he saw as their greatest need. He said, 'Leaders who care about people.' That us now true of the UK.

@mattfrei Reminding Ukrainian politicians of the liklihood of defeat at the hands of overwhelming Russian force doesn't do much for anyone, does it?

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@nicktolhurst @RussInCheshire It's an entirely plausible scenario.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@annettedittert Nighthood.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@jmkorhonen Excellent thread.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@SHeartAwakening "The UK govt. is an English nationalist populist Johnsonian cult." (Chris Patten, ex-Chairman of the Conservative Party.) English nationalism is rooted in hatred of the foreigner and the 'other'. There is no kindness in it. Morally bankrupt.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Interesting @bbc5live just cancelled an interview with me at 7.30 because their lawyers couldn’t vet what I was going to say beforehand. I guess some oligarchs’ lawyers are cracking down on free speech. Sad that broadcasters are playing their game.

[Derek Morrison @DerekMorrison19]

@EdwardGLuce And they can do it all without Londongrad's reluctance and obfuscation.
