@AllanDLyons@MonicaLennon7 Community cohesion? Why are you standing for Reform then when the language, beliefs, and actions of senior party members is so socially divisive?
in 18 months since being elected privately educated ex-city trader farage has declared above £1 million in payments from second jobs. this is on top of an almost 100,000 a year salary as an mp.
he is the elite he pretends to rage against. their agenda is one with his agenda.
Horden was once a thriving mining village. The colliery used to employ thousands of local people. Today there are rows and rows of abandoned houses. This is a community still struggling with the impact of deindustrialisation.
BREAKING 🇵🇸🇮🇹 Italy's 24-hour general strike for Palestine, called by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), has shut down schools, railways and retail stores across the country.
Citing an Italian who joined today’s strike in Italy:
‘We blocked Venice's port and so many others, free palestine 🇵🇸 not a nail will pass, not one container. We are doing it for you, we always think about you, you aren't forgotten’ 😭😭😭
You:
- Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week
- Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK
- Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime)
- Haven't stopped arms sales
- Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state
You have enabled a genocide.
Last week felt like it could be a turning point r.e media response to Gaza - plus the UK obviously felt pressure, ending trade negotiations with Israel.
This week Labour's trade envoy visits to sell the vision of UK as 'open for business'. And where is the coverage?
NHS surgeon Victoria Rose speaking from Gaza: "we're operating on 75% children.. these kids are tiny, underweight, malnourished.. they've got such significant life changing injuries.. lost limbs, disfiguring facial injuries, & the burns are catastrophic"
But Gary Lineker!
🚨 ALERT: What the new US Administration is doing is very clear and strategic: it is called psychological overwhelming. Hitting us every day with XXL doses of baffling rhetoric and erratic policies serves to "control the script", distracting and dishorienting us, normalising the absurd, all while disrupting global stability (and consolidating US control).
Israel shot and killed an 8-months-pregnant woman today in the Nour Shams refugee camp in the West Bank. Israeli soldiers stopped any medical assistance from reaching them, so both she and the baby inside her died.
Her name was Sundus Shalabi.
I looked into it, and despite what @PressSec says @elonmusk told her, the US has spent exactly $0 on condoms for Gaza, not $50 million https://t.co/xRTAd5zSjy
