@Channel4News @vsmacdonald @facts4life_org @Keir_Starmer @SimonforStroud @wesstreeting - great but there are three things you shd be aiming for: nhs, social care and prevention. You missed prevention Sir Keir. See Facts4Life for ground breaking work with young children - https://t.co/BdQBWnwNFs

@BBCWorldatOne notwithstanding just how vile and aggressive Sevastian Gorka’s behaviour was, perhaps you could have stated more clearly by way of rebuttal the multiple trusted sources saying genocide is being committed in Gaza

@Dr_psychiatry @TomSwarbrick1 Hi Alastair. Very interesting interview. I have been ploughing this furrow (or one nearby, opposite direction?) with @Facts4Life for the last 12 years teaching primary sch kids that illness is part of a wider sense of normal. We've seen massive rise in self-Dx MH probs

@Facts4Life @Jess_Deighton Hi Jess. We’ve been doing this in Gloucestershire and beyond for 12 y now with good results showing we’re changing children’s attitudes towards illness https://t.co/U6Lcryv9d6

And making an impact - https://t.co/xagJOsliYx

@markaustintv - missed my good friend Tom Potokar's interview you did yesterday in Beirut. I can't see the vid. Can you link or DM me with it? Thanks, Hugh

@GWRHelp Hi I’m travelling 5.10.24, tomorrow, on flexi return to London Paddington from Swindon leaving Swindon approx 10. There’s an alert in an email from you guys about possible delays. Can you give me some more detail please.

[Hugh van't Hoff @doctorclogs]

@alextomo @krishgm - am wondering why insights such as these aren’t skilfully woven into your narrative? To establish historical perspective relevant to now…..

@CMcKinnellMP @BBCWomansHour @BBCNuala @carolynatkins14 @kelliedbright @wesstreeting @SimonforStroud @Facts4Life @ChildrenNE The changes you’re making should include helping children understand more about their health from an early age (EYFS). We are starting a pilot in Newcastle soon.

@bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk Look no further than Facts4Life - proven over 12years @SimonforStroud @Facts4Life

[Hugh van't Hoff @doctorclogs]

@drphilhammond @UKLabour @wesstreeting @SimonforStroud @Facts4Life - and of course education #healthliteracy to give children agency over their health - changing the locus of control.

@siobhankennedy4 - hi Siobhan, is it not relevant that Mitch McDonnell and Joe Biden are two of the three highest paid beneficiaries of AIPAC money?

[Hugh van't Hoff @doctorclogs]

@Jonathan_K_Cook Aren’t the armed settlers [sic - if ever that was needed it’s now] in the West Bank and reservists also effectively hiding in plain sight? Not mentioned much in comparison with Hamas in Gaza. Also the place is so small that any resistance movement has to mingle with civilians.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

For months, many hundreds of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of London each week to demand that the UK stop its complicity in what the World Court ruled recently is plausibly a genocide being committed by Israel.

Britain is supplying Israel with arms, giving it diplomatic cover at the United Nations, and has effectively joined Israel in its aid blockade. The UK has frozen funds to the UN’s main aid agency, UNRWA, a last lifeline to the enclave.

But those demanding that international law be upheld – and castigating the political class for failing to do the same – are now finding themselves demonised as potential terrorists.

Already, the talk on both sides of the Commons – and in the media – is of the need for new police powers, curbs on the right of the public to protest, and further security measures to keep politicians shielded from the people they are supposed to represent.

This week, a committee of MPs used pressures placed on the police to manage regular mass marches in London against the slaughter in Gaza as grounds for introducing tighter limits on the right to protest.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak took up the refrain, calling for greater police powers against what he described as "mob rule" that was supposedly "replacing democratic rule".

Separately, he insinuated that this so-called "mob" – those troubled by the killing of at least 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza over the past five months – may not "belong here", in Britain. Notably, he made these remarks during an address to the Community Security Trust, which was at the forefront of promoting the smearing of Corbyn and his supporters as antisemites.

But the fearmongering is far from restricted to the ruling Tories.

Labour’s shadow international development secretary, Lisa Nandy, publicly complained last weekend about members of the public shouting "genocide" at her, linking it to the greater security measures she has been taking.

Opposition to Israel’s behaviour is a majority view among the public, but neither major party is prepared to listen or respond. Both are wilfully deaf to public concern that Britain needs to stop actively enabling one of the greatest crimes in living memory.

As Labour MP Diane Abbott, a Corbyn ally and long-time target of death threats, noted, Britain is taking "the first step towards a police state".

Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza is tearing the mask off Westminster. By the day, Britain is looking more overtly like an oligarchy.

@Jonathan_K_Cook @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK @GrahamScambler - where are you on this? The problem for western politicians (inc Israel of course, effectively one of the ‘team)’ now is that we can see them in plain site, lying. Surgeon said most dead were shot - those alive in chest; dead, head

[Hugh van't Hoff @doctorclogs]

@ChrisMcGreal @guardian @GuardianBooks @GrahamScambler - looks like an interesting counterpoint to mainstream historiography yet strangely not available at Guardian Books. https://t.co/2AkekFguQ1

[Hugh van't Hoff @doctorclogs]

⁦@guardian⁩ ⁦@guardiantech⁩ ⁦@OwenJones84⁩⁦@mrjamesob⁩ - personalisation offered in app…turns out Gaza, Israel, Middle East, Palestine not on offer. Bizarre and restricted choices.

@dafy_moto L'année dernière, j'ai eu deux crevaisons sur le pneu arrière (BMW R80ST) en une journée en France. Le premier a été facilement réparé mais le second a endommagé le pneu et j'avais besoin d'un pneu neuf. Dafy Moto Brive était le seul garage à pouvoir nous aider. Merci

@GaryLineker @RestIsFootball Please can you and other pundits explain tactics to people who don’t understand tactics. At present all discussions are amongst those who know the lingo and the tactics. It’d make post match discussions more accessible to people who want to understand the game you play.

[Hugh van't Hoff @doctorclogs]

@mrjamesob - interesting insight

Ex-ambassador Craig Murray:

'Yesterday I attended a session called by Palestine at the United Nations in Geneva. Over 120 states attended. While the formal session consisted of statements of national position with few surprises, I was able to discuss with a large number of delegates in the corridors why the Genocide Convention has not been activated, triggering a reference to the International Court of Justice.

'The answer is now clear to me. It is not that people are worried that a claim of genocide will not be successful at the International Court of Justice. It is that everybody is quite sure it will succeed. There is no respectable argument that this is not a genocide...

'The problem is that once the ICJ has determined that this is a genocide, it follows that not only are Netanyahu and hundreds of senior Israeli officials and military personally liable, but it is absolutely plain that “Genocide Joe” Biden, Sunak and members of their administrations are also criminally liable for complicity, having provided military support for the genocide.

'The International Criminal Court cannot ignore a judgment of genocide from the International Court of Justice and will have no choice but to issue arrest warrants.'
