The fact that I spotted just 1 other person engaged and listening to this very important speech is absolutely disgusting. These people are supposed to be representing their constituencies, it would be crazy to suggest there is no poverty in their own constituency.
Today in Parliament, during the final King’s Speech debate, I made it clear: the Right to Food is not charity it is a fundamental human right.
In one of the richest countries on earth, no child should go hungry while billionaires grow richer. No pensioner should be forced to skip meals. No family should have to choose between heating and eating.
Food poverty is not inevitable. It is the direct result of political choices, austerity and an economic system that puts profit before people.
That must change.
Our Right to Food Commission report will provide the government with a ready made solution a roadmap to end food insecurity and guarantee dignity for all by investing in our children and the future economy.

First time I’m actually seeing a reporter press these clowns to justify how their disapproval of hate toward one group of people is somehow not contradicting their ignorance of hate toward other communities. To clarify, anti-semitism is abhorrent, as is Islamaphobia, Homophobia..
‘On the basis of that logic, would you ban Tommy Robinson’s rally?’
@Lewis_Goodall pushes the Tories’ Helen Whately for ‘consistency’ as the party calls for a ban on pro-Palestine ‘hate marches’.
Seeing scousers belittle other scousers or anyone at the match over trying to stop the rise of ticket price's with shouts like shouldn't go if ye can't afford is fuckin baffling. Proper Tory shouts. 🤢
Today we showed up.
I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the many thousands who marched saying no to hate and division.
For our neighbours.
For our friends.
For our families.
Solidarity is our strength and when we come together, we win.
This is just the beginning.

I truly despise "people" like this.
One of the richest people in the world, part of a transnational elite who don't pay their fair share of tax, and has the cheek to complain about asylum seekers and immigrants fleeing poverty and persecution.
Absolutely vile man. 🖕
Streeting is trying to distance himself from his best friend Mandelson.
So if you've got any respect at all for Wes Streeting, don't retweet this photo. 😁
“This is extreme, this is inhumane, and it is a government of cowards.”
Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, responds to the government's changes to Britain's asylum system.

This is the biggest reason for the drop in entertainment from F1 now vs 2000's and 2010's. Yes the overall improvement in Engineering should be something to be seen, but, a spectator sport should always want to promote spectacle events. Imagine drive to survive was around in 2012
When we say Zionists, we mean Zionists. Ten times as many Christians are Zionists as Jews.
When we say Israelis, we mean Israelis. 20% of Israelis are not Jews.
When we say IDF soldiers, we mean IDF soldiers. Druze and some Israeli Arabs serve in the IDF.
When we say Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, we mean football hooligans and racist thugs.
This is all good and well, @wesstreeting. But I want to be clear on my position as an NHS consultant:
1️⃣Recognising Israel as an apartheid state, in line with major Israeli organisations, is not antisemitic.
2️⃣Recognising Israel as committing genocide, in line with Israeli scholars, Israeli rights groups and the UN, is not antisemitic.
3️⃣Recognising Israel as an illegal, biligerent, occupying power, in line with the International Court of Justice, is not antisemitic.
4️⃣Recognising Israel is engaging in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, in line with international human rights groups, is not antisemitic.
5️⃣Recognising Israel is run by convicted terrorists, self proclaimed fascists and a man wanted by the International Criminal Court, is not antisemitic.
6️⃣Recognising Zionism as an ethnosupremacist, European born, settler colonial project, designed to displace and replace indigenous and native Palestinians, is not antisemitic.
I will keep speaking out, publicly, about these things, in line with my values of human dignity, human rights, the rule of law and in line with my freedom of speech and freedom of opinion.
