Devon NHS trusts are all signed up to use Palantir’s software - tell your trust and Wes Streeting to stop this

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

They chanted “IDF will f*** the Arabs. Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there”

But that you’ll tolerate.

[Martin Shaw @MartinShawEDA]

If this is what ordinary Israeli women sing in a workout, imagine the chants of drink-filled football ‘fans’ on the streets of Birmingham.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Israeli women working out and singing along to a genocidal song, "May Your Village Burn."

Till this day, most Western states have yet to ask the obvious question: How is everyone else supposed to live in peace next to a society exhibiting this level of genocidal malady?

[Martin Shaw @MartinShawEDA]

A serious mistake by Ed Davey. Clearly ignorant of the Israeli followers’ racist provocations in Amsterdam, he jumps on Starmer’s bandwagon. This has nothing to do with antisemitism. @RichardFoordLD

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

A serious mistake by WM Police. You don’t tackle antisemitism by banning its victims. This decision must be reversed.

[Martin Shaw @MartinShawEDA]

@steveracemp At £90 a time, you’re not going to get many vaccinated. Many think this policy is flawed. Look at the increase in work and school absences since the pandemic, widely put down to cumulative effects of Covid infections. Shortsighted.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Appears the Devon Reform UK councillors that overspent on election expenses have been granted relief with them claiming ‘mistakes’ in their finances.

The first point is - would you want such careless councillors managing your council budget?

The second is - the criminal investigation is still ongoing and this isn’t a conclusion:

Reform councillors cleared of election overspend

So today was supposed to be the English in-club surfing contest at Porthtowan in Cornwall except it isn't thanks once again to the greed, financial engineering and incompetence of the water industry.

Sewage dump, lifeguards order competitors out of the water. Lots of very angry people I hear.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

81 year old former magistrate, Deborah Hinton, arrested under the Terrorism Act in Cornwall.

She held a placard which said: "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."

@CrossCountryUK Is it any accident that on your grossly overcrowded service from Taunton to Manchester, the WiFi is so poor that I can’t even fill in the customer service questionnaire to complain, because it’s frozen? Given the outrageous prices, it’s an appalling service.

[Martin Shaw @MartinShawEDA]

Reform UK already implementing Trumpian censorship at local level

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Reform UK on Staffordshire Council have ordered library employees to remove any "controversial" materials and cancel "controversial" events.

We know where this is heading...

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Nigel Farage still insisting that he has "never ever, ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free".

Here's what he's said in the past behind closed doors

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

We need a housing system that puts people before profit.

Too many developers sit on land to maximise profits - delaying the homes communities need.

I've proposed powers for councils to block repeat offenders in the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.

Back builders, not blockers.

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

The reason your energy bills are so high?

We allow the price of gas to set the price of green energy… It’s time to break the link.

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

I asked @DHSCgovuk where the impact assessment for abolishing @NHSEngland was. Recommendation 286 of Francis inquiry said any future reorganisation should have an IA made public as part of announcement. DH accepted.

No impact assessment of the change has been done.

[Martin Shaw @MartinShawEDA]

In Parliament, the Green Party seem to be taking the lead on Gaza, alongside Independent and some Labour MPs - but where are the Liberal Democrats?

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

The Israeli govt’s decision to block food, fuel, and water from reaching Gaza is collective punishment—an undeniable war crime.

Alongside cross-party colleagues, I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to condemn these actions and commit to an arms embargo and sanctions.

[Double Down News @DoubleDownNews]

This is the Gaza documentary the BBC pulled after pressure from genocide defenders

[Martin Shaw @MartinShawEDA]

It could cost £50 million to reorganise Devon’s councils – or up to double that - money which would be better spent on cash-starved public services. https://t.co/U3ABHoLZgm

[Simon Oldridge @SiOldridge]

This is just jaw-dropping from the Chancellor.

Scientists & experts in risk agree that climate change will cause economic collapse.

We must act right now to avert that.

A wartime-style effort to decarbonise will create a huge boost to the economy.
