@moonrakin @Channel4News We'd all be killed by IDF bombers, drones and snipers... what's your point?

[Artists for Palestine UK @Art4PalestineUK]

On May 13 in the High Court, @GLAN_LAW & @alhaq_org will expose the UK govt's complicity in the genocide by building F-35 fighter jets that are bombing Gaza right now.

@ObsNewReview I will miss you so much - but am unsubscribing in solidarity and for my own sanity! ♥️✊🏽♥️✊🏽♥️

@neilpeel66 @PSCupdates PSC supporters are clear that 7th Oct attacks were war crimes, like the grotesque multitude of IDF crimes before & since 💔 Interesting to compare the state of hostages on both sides - Palestinians return emaciated & traumatised, Israelis returning from Gaza are in a good state!

@RiddlerRaves @Pal_action @shut_system Following the suffragettes’ strategy for getting the message across 💔 When there’s an 8-month strategy of cultural & physical devastation, massacre and starvation going on, some relatively light property damage is put into perspective…

[Rachel Stubley @RachelStubley]

For pity’s sake YES! 💔🇵🇸🕊️

@DeafCustomer @naomicfisher Not awkward at all - very on point! Some schools appear to be training children to accept as normal learning & working conditions that deny their creativity, intelligence and essential humanity…

@PetrocTrelawny @wnbooks 💜🎶 Hurrah! 🙏🏼 Thank you so much and I will investigate further 🎶💜xxx

Crystal clear analysis from @DrAmirKhanGP of NHS problems and what’s needed - interesting that @edballs (the ‘politician’ in the conversation) offered the only useless contribution…

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Must watch interview with @DrAmirKhanGP on NHS waiting lists and what we need to do to #SaveOurNHS

Amir Khan, "We think the NHS is going to be there in our time of need and sadly that isn't the case for so many people now"

Kate Garraway, "1 in 5 people are putting themselves into debt to pay for medical treatments"

Amir Khan, "Either they pay for it or they spend weeks or months in agony waiting for an operation"

Kate Garraway, "If you have a heart attack, stroke, the NHS is still, but when you come one step away from that, that's there the NHS is failing"

Lindy Kirk, "I was planning to retire.. I was signed off sick because I couldn't function in the classroom.. I couldn't even put my own socks and shoes on.. I was just waiting.. If I couldn't afford to pay for it I'd still be waiting"

Amir Khan, "Short-term we need to invest in NHS staff #PayRestoration Long-term we need to fill the 100,000 vacancies in the NHS.. Look at community services"

"We have to be honest about austerity. Years of austerity have led to a sicker population. We need to tackle health inequalities.. Investment in social care.. better public health messaging.. Tackling obesity"

"We need to invest in staff, buildings, infrastructure and technology investment"

Ed Balls, "Are we moving into a phase where the NHS can't deliver?"

Amir Khan, "We have to be honest about taxation. We will have to increase tax on the wealthy to pay for the NHS and get it back to what it was"

"Pre pandemic we have over 4.5 million people on the NHS waiting lists and it was going up"

"People might argue the NHS is a money pit, but if you look at the reality of adjusting how much money is being invested in the NHS in terms of population, inflation, that money is less than what it was before"

Lindy Kirk, "I've been a higher rate tax payer for 20 odd years, I have paid my dues, I've worked since I was 23, I've worked hard for children in this country. But I've had to make the choice of paying for my surgery because the NHS is not there for me"

Kate Garraway, "Department of Health says: we are making progress in reducing the NHS waiting list.. They quote the pressures of industrial action.. And that they're delivering record investment"

Amir Khan, "I see it at ground level and I haven't seen the wait time come down, that isn't the reality that I'm facing with my patients"

@BladeoftheS I only recently realised how brilliantly forensic and articulate a journalist Victoria Derbyshire is - yes please - BBC political editor now!!

[Rachel Stubley @RachelStubley]

@Teacake4000 @angelma6644 @Pal_action I think historians would agree that the boycott & disinvestment movement contributed to the fall of apartheid South Africa – not just oranges but banking, cultural and sporting events… I’m in my 60s and was around ✊🏽♥️✊🏽

[Rachel Stubley @RachelStubley]

@Teacake4000 @angelma6644 @Pal_action Er…yes! Boycotts/pickets can work as they interfere with profits (eg from selling weapons). It takes time but eventually becomes too expensive/irritating for companies to ignore! Do a bit of googling about how boycotts helped S. Africa get rid of apartheid 👍🏼 #Ceasefire_In_Gaza_

[Rachel Stubley @RachelStubley]

@Teacake4000 @angelma6644 @Pal_action Elbit provides weapons for the Israeli army massacres in Gaza - this action is about putting pressure on the parent company, wherever in the world the factory is….

[Rachel Stubley @RachelStubley]

@IsraelObserver @wawog_now This is not support for Hamas (as I’m sure you know) but for the tens of thousands of civilians & children being killed in Gaza. This is not the time to remain silent in the face of vicious Netanyahu policies… I applaud those protesting US support & funding 🕊️👍🏼🙏🏼

[Rachel Stubley @RachelStubley]

@ballsauceguy @wawog_now Why do people always try to suggest that protesters are workshy? I don’t understand why this is the 1st question from critics? The few times I’ve been on protests during the week, protesters have either taken time off work, or been retired, or students…
