The biggest modern con is politicians convincing people that their lives are harder because of immigrants.
Instead of the increasing number of billionaires & wealth concentration at the top. Politics too often about protecting the billionaires instead of normal people.

“Instead of cutting benefits for disabled people, wouldn’t the moral thing to do, the courageous thing to do, be to make a real tough choice and introduce a wealth tax on the very wealthiest people in our society?”

There is an alternative to a new round of Austerity - a tiny tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach - take more from the few not the many.

Tonight, a vigil outside HMP Eastwood Park marks Gaie Delap’s 78th birthday. A grandmother and climate campaigner, unfairly imprisoned for her activism. She should be celebrating at home, not imprisoned for standing up for a liveable planet.

Bella Donita holding an Israeli official to account in January on Sky News, it was her last ever appearance.

Like Sangita Myska she was cancelled.

RT the hell out of this, we can't let the few people who speak out in the Media be silenced, in silence.

Maybe, just maybe, the mainstream media can focus a little less on colleges for a moment. Maybe they can take their cameras to Gaza and show us the emaciated children who are dying of malnutrition due to Netanyahu’s policies. Maybe they can show us the suffering going on there.

I’m trawling through privatised NHS contracts. Just found one from June 2022 for Frank Hester’s Phoenix partnership- for Hull University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust.

If you think NHS orgs should drop these contracts with Frank Hester’s company, retweet this 🚨

@TomLondon6 I, like most reasonable other human beings, am horrified by the genocide in Gaza. What would the western powers be saying and doing if Gaza were Ukraine and Israel were Russia?

Hello! All manner of mis and disinformation is circulating about me right now. Really nasty.

If you oppose NHS privatisation, please could you retweet this and follow me? There are a lot of people spreading rumours in an attempt to stop us from connecting 🚨

Did you know the word ‘junior’ in Junior Doctor doesn’t mean young or unqualified

It’s simply the term for any doctor who is not yet a consultant or experienced GP

That includes this 40 year old who’s been a doctor for over 10 years

Please RT if you think everyone should know

BREAKING: PROFESSOR DAVID MILLER WINS LANDMARK DISCRIMINATION CASE AGAINST BRISTOL UNIVERSITY AFTER BEING FIRED FOR ANTISEMITISM

A verdict has been reached in the case of David Miller, finding him a victim of discrimination due to his stance against Zionism.

Following his dismissal from the University of Bristol in October 2021 over remarks linking the Zionist movement to the propagation of Islamophobia, Professor Miller pursued legal action, asserting that his beliefs were unlawfully targeted under the Equality Act 2010.

Today, the judiciary has affirmed that discrimination was indeed at play in his dismissal.

This pivotal case has set a precedent, affirming the protection of anti-Zionist convictions within the professional sphere.

Fantastic victory for Anti Zionists every where

Professor David Miller has won his discrimination and unfair dismissal claim against the University of Bristol, who had sacked him for his anti Zionist beliefs https://t.co/AW6wDp2cg3…

At this point in November 2020 – with a team of only ten people – we were just at the beginning of a marathon battle with the Government to get information about these pandemic contracts and how they were struck.

Brian Cox reads If I Must Die, by beloved Palestinian poet, teacher and martyr Refaat Alareer.

Refaat was killed on December 7th by an Israeli airstrike.

This was the last poem he published.
