I just signed the petition calling on Chancellor @RachelReevesMP not to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance for MILLIONS of struggling pensioners - just as energy bills are about to go up again! Will you add your name too? https://t.co/l5Rvqu8nuq
Let this sink in - 168 journalists have been killed by the Israelis in Gaza since October 7th. Barely a peep from Western media or politicians. Perhaps they are the wrong kind of journalists...
Israel claiming the Resistance "hide" among civilians is meaningless.
It is a war crime to fire at someone who you're not sure is a combatant. And a war crime to cause disproportionate harm to civilians.
Until proven otherwise they are civilians under intl law.
Guerilla fighters need only carry their weapons openly— not necessarily wear uniforms— and they do.
It the government wants growth it should be taxing wealth https://t.co/7uLrGlJ2p9 Rachel Reeves says she wants growth. If so, she should tax wealth because the wealthy save much of what they earn, meaning that they don’t spend it, and so reduce growth. If that same income was redistributed to those on low incomes who would spend it, then growth would follow. It really is almost that easy to increase growth.
Douglas Murray isn’t deranged- he lays bare the thinking the ruling class with all its arrogance it’s contempt for anyone “other”. Most hide their thinking very well with their manners but this is just another Boris Johnson, arrogant entitled and racist to the core.
What a blisteringly sharp analysis from @DavidOlusoga, who calls out the riots for exactly what they were - violent racism, fomented by populism.
Please read his superb piece 🔥

Our media is complicit.

Provides framework for rescuing banks.
Cost to be borne by customers & public purse. No exec pay clawback.

Cubbing season has begun again. Cubbing is where hunts train their hounds to chase and kill using inexperienced young fox cubs as practice, giving the dogs a taste for blood.
Hunt saboteurs and monitors are already on the ground, trying to stop the horrific act.
