For the many of us who lost loved ones, held Covid funerals in the worst of circumstances, #Partygate = more trauma.

Not funny, not defendable, intolerable.

Johnson is defended with tax money.

Please support those supporting us.

Once again Boris Johnson gets the chance to spin his lies about how he managed Covid-19.

It’s time for bereaved families to tell their side of the story.

Please donate if you can and RT to help give the bereaved a voice at the Covid Inquiry:

Over 180,000 deaths.

According to expert Professor Anthony Costello, director of the Institute for Global Health, that is how many lives could have been saved with a fully functioning Test, Trace, and Isolate system.

We fight for justice, for them.

Appearing as a witness at the @covidinquiryuk today, CBFFJ member Prof Naomi Fulop urged the Chair to call @patmcfaddenmp to give evidence in person about the progress the government has made responding to Module 1 Recommendations.

We hope the Inquiry will listen and act.

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK @CovidJusticeUK]

The government was clapping for NHS workers and then sending them out to do their jobs without basic PPE or testing.

This morning, @covidinquiryuk heard from Hazel Gray, who lost both her parents after they caught Covid from hard-working carers who were left unprotected.

@DMinghella The first drama I made with Michael Winterbottom was called Island of Strangers. It was a schools programme and the lesson was ... there's no such thing as strangers

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

We said for years there’s no point this version of Labour winning as nothing will change. And people paid a lot of money to talk about politics called that “puritan” saying the most important thing was getting the Tories out. Well here we are with Eunuch Powell as Prime Minister

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

The description of care workers as low skilled is hugely offensive. Not all skills can be taught. The ability to care for vulnerable people with compassion and in a way that protects their dignity is one that should be prized and rewarded to a much greater extent than it is.

My father was an immigrant.
He became an English teacher and then someone who trained students to become teachers.
He lived the whole of his life on this 'island'.
Was he part of an 'island of strangers'?

So upsetting to see Labour continue to divide 'working people' (worthy of help) from people who can't work (worthy of demonising). Not very progressive, Rachel. The Victorians would recognise the language here

Let's be clear on the facts. You *can* now be deported from some Western liberal democracies for taking a view--even a private view in a text message-- on which side of a conflict you are on. Not acting, not providing material support, not participating: for taking a view.

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House
"This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when a society criminalises protest."

🚨 BREAKING

Police have raided a Quaker meeting house and arrested six young people meeting to discuss concerns about the climate crisis and the Gaza genocide.

On 27 March, more than 20 officers - some carrying tasers - reportedly forced their way into Westminster Meeting House in central London.
According to Quakers in Britain, the officers “broke open the front door without warning or ringing the bell first, searching the whole building and arresting six women attending the meeting in a hired room”.
Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.”
“This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when society criminalises protest.”

"Most of the burden of the cuts will fall on those receiving Personal Independence Payment, which is a benefit that goes to people in work and out of work"

@jdportes demolishing the govts argument that their cuts to benefits are about getting people into work.

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

Spectre of MP's expenses gravy train rears its head as it did after #2011Riots

Juxtaposition of wealthy MP's on good salaries with generous expenses/perks who pour doubt + scorn on life experiences, struggles + health of the poor is noticed. We all see you.

#AusterityLabour

[Liberty @libertyhq]

UPDATE

The Court has granted Cambridge the proposed injunction

Students will be BANNED from protesting at three key university sites until the end of July

This sets a DANGEROUS PRECEDENT which will severely restrict protest rights on campus
