The horrific, targeted, repeated attack that killed 7 WCK aid workers follow nearly 200 Palestinian humanitarians killed by Israel’s military campaign.
Now - FINALLY - Western govts providing arms to the killing say “enough”. 

To regain some credibility, they should demand:
1/2

Israel's planned ground offensive in #Rafah would be catastrophic. Today I wrote to the Foreign Secretary and asked how the UK Government can possibly justify arms transfers to Israel. UK must stand with global partners in calling for an immediate #CeasefireNOW

‘If you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed,’ said the EU’s top diplomat

Our report on the overnight Israeli raid in #Rafah that rescued two hostages but killed 67 Gazans. ‘If you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed,’ said the EU’s @JosepBorrellF

CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!

If you’ve never seen a UK visa rejection letter -the cruelty, the contempt, the humiliation-here’s the one denying entrance to my mum BECAUSE I’d said in my invitation letter that I was pregnant & needed help.

I’m a privileged academic. Imagine what it’s like for other Albanians

Jeremy Hunt is saying we cannot max out the national credit card this morning. This is total nonsense. There is no national credit card. Instead it’s the job of government to make the money we use. And since it can always make that money it can never max out on credit.

Feels like the 'black hole' in UK public finances is a metaphor to justify public spending cuts. Helpful explanation of the framing from @BenChu_

If politicians don’t lead…

This film has it all: it’s a thrilling, moving retelling of a famous court case which aimed to bring Argentina’s military dictatorship to justice. Oh, and did I mention Ricardo Darín’s in it?! 🇦🇷 My review for @soundscolours https://t.co/1qKP2T1xhH @AxelKuschevatzk

I am so fed up with Tory MPs claiming that people seeking asylum in this country are doing so illegally. Everyone has a legal right to seek asylum in the UK.

I don't want to sound alarmist, but there is a serious attempt at a coup happening in the open right now in Brazil. The Federal Traffic Police along with state police and elements of the army are trying to suppress the vote across the country. I will continue to post updates
