For anyone who cares, this is a picture of Gaza now.

We are drowning in our tents💔

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Gaza is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied.

The British starved Ireland and then cited Irish poverty as evidence of Irish inferiority.

The Belgians extracted the Congo’s resources for a century and then cited Congolese underdevelopment as evidence that Africans needed to be governed.

The Americans sanctioned Cuba for 66 years and then cited Cuban economic difficulties as evidence that socialism doesn’t work.

The structure is the same.

It has always been the same.

You remove the conditions necessary for success.

You wait.

You point.

You conclude.

The only thing that changes across centuries and continents is who’s being pointed at.

"Yorkshire Water CEO Nicola Shaw to step down after four and a half years in charge."

In those 4 and a half years Nicola Shaw was paid over £3 million including £1.3 million which was paid via an offshore company.

Everybody say aww!

Britain's richest 50 families have more money the poorest 36,000,000.

No one should accept this.

Almost 90% of England's water companies are still acting illegally, still dumping huge amounts of sewage into our environment.

“People are sick of excuses,” screams Dame Angela Eagle. We've heard it all before and yet nothing, nothing changes.

One interesting note "The UK is one of only two countries in the world where the provision of water is fully privatised. The other is Chile, where water privatisation was imposed in the 1980s by a military dictatorship." Hmm? 🤔

£450m extra to Wales…. Brilliant! That is if it was for 1 year.

This is for THREE years. 3.

Put that into context. Leeds station is getting £303 MILLION for renovations.

One station. £303m

One nation. £450m.

Labour robbing Wales yet again, 🥀

The Zionist war criminals have stopped food aid trucks entering Gaza.
This is the result. Barbarism, state terrorism and deliberate starvation.
Everyone who enabled this will be pursued, including mainstream media and Western politicians.

Tonight's Newsnight focused on the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster:

Victoria Derbyshire, "How could anybody think it could be alright to have a quarter of a mile high slurry - that was notorious for sliding - above a school?"

Jeff Edwards, one of the three then 8 year old survivors, "The reason the tips were on there, it was the cheapest land"

My view:

On 21 October 1966, 144 people died in Aberfan, including 116 children.

The tribunal’s finding was unequivocal: blame rested with the National Coal Board. It said the disaster “could and should have been prevented.” Yet no one was prosecuted. Lord Robens, the NCB chairman, offered to resign, but the government refused to accept it. Officials criticised by the tribunal were moved to other work within the Board.

The NCB paid £500 for each child killed. The public had raised around £1.75 million to support the bereaved and the village, but the fund was then required to contribute £150,000 towards clearing the remaining tips above Aberfan. That money was not repaid until 1997.

So the families were left to live with an avoidable loss, a compensation payment many regarded as derisory, and a long fight for accountability.

The inquiry named the institution responsible. But no individual was prosecuted, and even money donated to help the community was used to pay for work that should never have been its burden.

Good to see we are all facing the cost of living crisis equally.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Britons with savings of £16,000 are disqualified or severely restricted from receiving Universal Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support.

No means-testing for the King. Royal family may be worth £21bn?

It has 21 officially categorized royal residences.
