We’re told there’s not enough money to support disabled people, build social housing or fund the NHS. But somehow there are billions for weapons and illegal wars.

The ruling class is under the delusion that Britain is still a world power and needs nuclear weapons and aircraft carriers. Newsflash: it isn't and it doesn't.

[Ayoub Khan MP @AyoubKhanMP]

London must not host a property fair selling land in illegal Israeli settlements. The “Great Israeli Real Estate” event promotes the sale of land in occupied Palestinian territory. It is normalising annexation, displacement and ethnic cleansing.

This Event Must be Cancelled!

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

UK defence secretary John Healey has resigned after criticising the prime minister for not committing to more spending on war and weapons.

The question now for Healey is why he didn’t resign over his involvement in the Gaza genocide: https://t.co/EWSQRwOTRK

Not enough backlash.

"Don't vote in anger. Vote in hope."

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

Healey wanted to increase defence spending by £28bn/year from
£61bn to approx £89bn. That's an increase of 40%!

It was an ABSURD ask - UK would be the fourth largest military spender in the world after US, China and Russia.

Vast amounts of that would be siphoned off by rapacious, price-gouging contractors in the most corrupt industry in the world. And none of it would help - in fact, it would mostly worsen - the biggest threat to global security, which is climate change.

The right wing press will try and present Healey's ask as eminently reasonable, but it was a ludicrous cash grab at the same time that were cutting overseas aid, climate change mitigation and welfare spending.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

We do not need to spend more money on bombs and bullets.

We need to spend more on housing, schools and our NHS instead.

A roof over your head. Enough food to feed your children. A public health service you can rely on in your time of need.

That is what real security means.

War monger John Healey resigns as UK Defence Secretary because he doesn’t think the billions of tax payer money spent on foreign wars is enough

[The Lady J of Tay @brawday]

BBC slammed by Ross Greer live on air over framing of racist disorder in Belfast “Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.”
Greer added: “The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.

The Green's Makerfield candidate Sarah Wakefield on BBC News at Ten,

"We just don't have the levels of youth provision that we had 20 years ago"

"We need to invest far more in youth clubs, in youth workers, in sports facilities, in creative outlets"

"So our young people have things to do, places to go, safe places where they can enjoy and become the best people that they can be"

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

Whatever crap it is that you’re selling, I aint’t buying.

My white skin is an accident of birth. My worldview is the product of life experience and learning.

The man who saved my life, after crashing a car in Northern Mexico and breaking my neck in 1992, was Hispanic.

The neurosurgeon who put me back together again in hospital in San Diego was Jewish.

A black guy once backed me up in a brawl in a nightclub in Edinburgh and prevented me from being stabbed.

I have learned more about the human condition from the words of Malcolm X than I ever have from those of Shakespeare.

You can take your racism and fucking ram it.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The reason you can dismiss people like this as unserious propagandists is that actual genocide scholars, including Israeli historians of the Holocaust, say it’s a genocide. You can disagree with them but to call it an ‘antisemitic blood libel’ just makes you a pro-Israel fanatic.

🚨 BREAKING: MP Claire Hanna shuts down anti-immigration narrative, Sky News. She confirms Belfast riots are purely a racism problem, with lifelong residents targeted for their skin color.

She exposes how this suffocating, hateful politics is actually forcing people to emigrate!

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Mehdi Hasan exposes the massive media coverup on Sky News. He confirms the press is deliberately using fake "both sides" journalism to hide the Gaza genocide.

He reveals the media is intentionally softening the disastrous, unprovoked war in Iran!
