UKExit ("Brexit") on 31st January 2020 was an Internationally Wrongful Act. International Law requires the UK and the EU to restore the UK's membership of EU.

@DRTomlinsonEP @Iamgoingtosleep @WHO The @WHO failures are easy to summarise ...

The @WHO has never examined properly how to stop a New Disease Risk due to a Novel Respiratory Virus becoming a pandemic.

The International Health Regulations 2005 lack any sensible strategy to prevent international spread.

"495,000 Gazans (almost 25% of the population) still face 'catastrophic' levels of hunger. More than half of Gazans have sold their clothes to buy food; one in five go entire days and nights without eating." https://t.co/RkO2RZyqXL

Under Netanyahu and Smotrich, a new Settlements Administration has the authority to expropriate Palestinian land, approve housing construction in settlements, condemn Palestinian construction as illegal, and retroactively authorize illegal outposts. https://t.co/1vdSbgGZXG

In case you missed it ...
Here's Nigel Farage lying to the whole country by convincing people that Britain, like Norway, would remain in the Single Market after Brexit.

Corbyn explains how, when Labour leader, his own officials demanded that he pledge unequivocally to back any military action Israel undertook against the Palestinians.

Understand now why Starmer is so ready to support genocide in Gaza?

The UN children's agency Unicef has told the BBC a convoy carrying aid was denied entry to northern Gaza, despite having all the necessary documents, adding that this is a common occurrence.

UNICEF's James Elder says Gaza a 'horror show' for children. He also said that while waiting at a checkpoint he witnessed the fatal shooting of two Gazan fishermen.

Of the 274 Palestinians killed in Israel's hostage rescue operation, 64 were children and 57 women. That's 44%. Many of the men killed were in the adjacent market and also likely civilians. That is a horrible (disproportionate) civilian toll. https://t.co/g4h5Sbsnic

How can a massacre that kills 200 and leaves 600 wounded possibly be called 'a surgical strike' @thetimes ? Or does the Murdoch group not regard the Palestinians as human beings?

European Parliament elections today, and I can't vote. My European Union citizenship was torn from my hands, even though a clear majority of Scots voted Remain. I am still angry. I am also more of a loyal European than ever. Scotland will be back. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

Carefully written @nytimes report into Israel Guantanamo

Since Israel invaded Gaza, the Sde Teiman military base has filled with blindfolded, handcuffed detainees, held without charge or legal representation.

"Eight former detainees, all of whom the military has confirmed were held at the site and who spoke on the record, variously said they had been punched, kicked and beaten with batons, rifle butts and a hand-held metal detector while in custody. One said his ribs were broken after he was kneed in the chest and a second detainee said his ribs broke after he was kicked and beaten with a rifle, an assault that a third detainee said he had witnessed. Seven said they had been forced to wear only a diaper while being interrogated. Three said they had received electric shocks during their interrogations."

"Of the 4,000 detainees housed at Sde Teiman since October, 35 have died either at the site or after being brought to nearby hospitals"

Every time the government rolls out a panicked “tough on crime” gimmick, @RishiSunak should be asked why he has defunded criminal justice to the extent that rape complainants have to wait 5 years for a trial.

Amount of Israeli bombs dropped on Gaza surpasses that of World War II: Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip since last October, exceeding World War II bombings in Dresden, Hamburg, London combined, according to rights monitor https://t.co/ON85fypfNE

No wonder Israeli officials condemned the UN General Assembly's recognition of Palestine as a "non-member observer state" as “diplomatic terrorism.” It let Palestine join the International Criminal Court. It was the beginning of the end of their impunity. https://t.co/DJNCQUrKZl
