I am honoured and touched

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

Israel’s 🇮🇱 army lifted and detained at least 15 people in the West Bank 🇵🇸 last night. Including children and former detainees who had been released.

Israel 🇮🇱 has now taken and detained 7,240 West Bank 🇵🇸 Palestinians in under 5 months.

It’s not defence.
It is oppression.

[Stella Assange @Stella_Assange]

Today our kids saw Julian in Belmarsh high security prison. We took this picture outside. On Tuesday the final US extradition hearing begins. We don’t know what happens next.

ASLEF statement re our sexual harassment special working group recommendations and women's survey results

Impossible not to be moved every time you see this.

Bournemouth beach as a canvas for grief.

The clothes placed in memory of the 12,000 children murdered in Gaza, stretch for 5 kilometres.

Biden, Sunak and Starmer are partners in this slaughter.

"Politically, it's strategically incompetent."

Barry Gardiner was Labour's Shadow energy and climate change secretary at the time of the last election.

He reacts to Sir Keir Starmer's decision to ditch its policy of spending £28bn a year on its Green Prosperity Plan.

Here's a gif of Rishi Sunak bursting into laughter when a lady asks him to fix the NHS

It would be a shame if people shared this 👀

UDPATE: UK is bombing Yemen tonight, not bothering to have P'ment approve it - and will recall MPs tomorrow to rubber-stamp it. The UK is not at war with Yemen but its government has gone rogue to protect Israel from the economic impact of the shipping interceptions...

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Sunak is boasting about separating families? Shameful

[Simon Calder @SimonCalder]

London St Pancras International is in chaos.
All Eurostar and Southeastern trains this morning cancelled due to flooding in the tunnel beneath the Thames.
Many Thameslink services cancelled due to staff shortage.
Trying to find out what I can and will report as soon as possible.

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

Merry Christmas lads. So sorry for all you have been through.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

This poor child is bombed in south Gaza. She thinks it’s a nightmare, not reality.

Southern Gaza was the ‘safe zone’ 50 days ago.

This is a genocide and our ‘leaders’ have allowed it to happen.

Shame on all.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

Another heart wrenching report from UNICEF. There are 1.8 million people in the South of Gaza who are now being bombarded relentlessly by Israel.

Not ten minutes last night without bombs being dropped.

It’s a genocide.

[Nicola James @NAJ562]

Joined several hundred thousand voices calling for peace & justice for Palestine in London today. Incredible camaraderie! 🇵🇸✊

Travelled up with Huw Spanner who organises the most inspiring speakers for @BathFoP, and meeting up with NHS hero, @drbobgill. His clarity on the NHS struggle is unparalleled. #SolidarityWithPalestine

It is indeed good news. But we must and will keep the pressure up.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

Breaking news - after threats of legal action the deadline to respond railway ticket office closure consultations has been extended until 1st September #SaveOurTicketOffices https://t.co/ERV5LdwBjf

[Dylan Ogline @DylanOgline]

Maybe they are sick? Maybe they have a parent dying? Maybe they lost their job? Maybe they are going through a really tough time.

The point is, it doesn't matter.

A child should not go hungry in the richest country the world has ever known.

[Dylan Ogline @DylanOgline]

It's not much to ask for.

I want solid healthcare, some nice roads and infrastructure, world class education, good social services, and a safety net for those less fortunate.

You know, all the stuff that we pay taxes for.

Not subsidies and tax breaks for the rich.

[Ordinary Left London @London4B]

@BellRibeiroAddy is one of the best MPs Labour has.

Serious questions need to be answered by Evans and Starmer on their problem with race.

@BeckettUnite If a cancer patient, for example, needs to make daily trips to hospital for treatment, they can claim the ULEZ charge back. From the hospital, which is already struggling for funds.
