The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”

The JP Morgan report has been in the public domain since 2019 and clearly evidences Mandelson's relationship with Epstein. Why wasn't this picked up?

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

I urge everyone to watch this report by Channel 4 News about Israel’s killing of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil.

“Under international humanitarian law, journalists are afforded the same protection as civilians… If that journalist has a particular sympathy with a particular cause, that doesn’t mean that protection is removed…

… the IDF said the incident is under review. Don’t hold your breath…”

Providing the necessary context and not taking Israel’s claims at face value.

This is how every journalist should be reporting.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Israel’s murder of journalists continues. The details of what happened to Amal Khalil are horrific. The Red Cross tried to rescue her but were themselves fired on.

How is Israel allowed such total impunity? Why is the international press not in uproar?

There’s a term for when one group is systematically treated differently under the law because of race or ethnicity: Apartheid

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

FFS, who writes this stuff for the Times? How dishonest are they? It’s an illegal invasion and occupation of Lebanon, not an expansion of ‘territory it controls.’ Can you imagine the NYT talking about Russia and Ukraine like this?

The phrase “look like Gaza” is used as a threat. Think about that.

Genocide has been normalized as intimidation.

[Adam Ramsay @AdamRamsay]

This is an extraordinary lie from @LabourParty - straight up disinformation on the eve of an election.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is a massive scandal.

Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them.

How can this even be legal?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

OMG - just unbelievable - it really shouldn’t be a difficult question. What on earth has happened to the Labour Party, to international law and frankly to any kind of moral compass? Such craven cowardice is deeply dangerous

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

World attention is no longer on Gaza, so Israel is pulverising it. The fictional "ceasefire" is well and truly trashed.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

This is still happening by the way, the media just refuses to cover it.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

We’ve reached the point of Israel’s genocide where Doctors Without Borders can report a 29-DAY-OLD Palestinian baby freezing to death and it’s not even news.

[Sam Marsh @Sam_Marsh101]

How have @SheffieldUni management contrived to turn an easily resolvable dispute into something approaching MAB-like levels of crisis? From a pre-strike offer that could have been patched up into something that worked, to threatening a lockout from 5 January. I despair.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Summary Executions in occupied West Bank:

Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces executed two young men after detaining them near #Jenin refugee camp following a military raid in the northern West Bank.
This is a war crime and part of a pattern across the occupied territory. International statements of condemnation are not enough—criminals must be held accountable.

Shoddy stuff from @SheffieldUni management in the dispute over compulsory redundancies, threatening to walk away from all negotiations if members don't sign away their right to strike until November next year. @Abtisam_Mohamed @_OliviaBlake #StandUpToBullies #DignityAtWork

Great investigative reporting from The Tribune. Andrew Milne has been purchasing freeholds for a song and then aggressively bullying leaseholders to pay exorbitant sums to buy them off him.

If you're a constituent who has been affected drop me an email and also reach out to the Citizens Advice Bureau for free, independent guidance.
