🔴KEMI BADENOCH: Housing Benefit

'Taxpayers foot the £2,700 a month rent on @KemiBadenoch's six-bedroom farmhouse in Essex.

Then she goes on telly and argues that taxpayers shouldn't subsidise other people's rent.'

Chilling words.

Senator Dick Durbin at the Jack Smith Hearing just now:

“There are moments I’ll never forget. Twenty-five years ago, 9/11 was one of those moments when we were asked to evacuate the Capitol for fear of what might happen if the terrorists attacked.

“But the day I’ll also remember as long as I live is January 6, 2021, when this cathedral of democracy was overrun by violent insurrectionists at the direction of the President of the United States.”

Trump continues to abuse his diplomatic immunity’s and make the rules as he goes along. He released all of the Jan. 6’ers and tried to pay them which he is still trying to do with our tax dollars. This sends a message to other criminals. Go ahead steal people's money you can always buy a pardon from a criminal president.

A young black man minding his business on his phone, sitting quietly on a public park bench is told to leave and accused of being a foreigner and a threat to White women & White children just for being Black.

This is Britain. Ryan Green and Scott Brodie should be prosecuted and locked up for a hate crime. They are ‘British Patriots’ part of the Blackpool Patriot platform.

It's not pensions you can't afford.
It's not immigrants.
It's not Disabled People.
Or University educations.
Or Healthcare.
Or Housing.

It's billionaires you can't afford, they are stealing all of this and much more.

Trump supporters believe that in California you can kill a newborn baby for up to four weeks after it’s born. They say it’s called post birth abortion. They’re out of their damn minds.

It’s important that we don’t end up with a new care system that funnels billions of taxpayer money into private companies… 🚨

Show this to anybody who still denies the genocide. 

These were all people's homes. Completely and totally destroyed.

These images should haunt those who enabled Israel's crimes against humanity - and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people.

Chris Bryant, "I have this warning for Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch. They say they'll bin the European Convention on Human Rights"

"They've clearly never read the Good Friday Agreement, or maybe they don't even care about it"

"I promise you this: we will not dump the ECHR, we will stand by it"

My view: The ECHR isn’t some bureaucratic inconvenience. Human-rights protections were deliberately placed at the heart of the Good Friday Agreement because equal rights, enforceable in law, helped build confidence between communities after decades of conflict.

And there’s a wider principle here.

If a government says the ECHR prevents it from doing something, perhaps the first question shouldn’t be: how do we get around human rights?

It should be: why does what we want to do fail to meet these basic standards of fairness, liberty and equal treatment.

And is it really something a democratic government should be doing at all?

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israeli forces interrupt Al Jazeera correspondent Givara Al-Budeiri’s live report in Beitunia, forcing her and her crew to stop covering a settler incursion.

The sound of a rifle being loaded is audible as the anchor, Mohamed Mezimez, reassures her on air.

The front page of @ScotNational tomorrow is what every UK newspaper front page should look like.

But, as throughout the entirety of the genocide, it stands alone with a moral backbone, not afraid to tell the truth about the horrors the rest of the press whitewash.

A 23yo Congolese cyclist Miguel Masaisai who set out to promote peace in Congo by cycling from his country to Morocco has died after a taxi he was travelling in to have his bike fixed was struck by a lorry. Absolutely tragic. Rest in peace Miguel Masaisai 🙏🏾🕊️
