🚨If you haven't read this you should: If nothing changes, the world faces the prospect of almost 1/4 of Gaza’s population - close to 1/2 million human beings - dying within a year mostly from preventable health causes & the collapse of the medical system! https://t.co/YRQwrgiuIV

URGENT APPEAL FOR SUPPORT FOR MEDICAL EVACUATION FROM GAZA

Our friend Maram @maramabumandil (26 yo), after surviving 23 months of genocide, has been diagnosed with vaginal cancer, for which there is no treatment in Gaza.

Around 30-40 police with facial recognition equipment, sniffer dogs hanging about outside Seven Sisters Station.

Must’ve arrested all the real criminals (grannies with placards) so now just outright harassing Tottenham residents. Embarrassing and disgraceful.

[Carrie Coon @carriecoon]

Wow.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

A Home Office counter-terror scheme may have monitored children who survived the Grenfell Tower fire, it can be revealed.

A source with knowledge of the work told Declassified: "I believe there was some surveillance going on"👇

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Labour.

"In the West, Palestinians are immediately associated with terrorism, as Israel has seen to it that they are...There is nothing in Palestinian history, absolutely nothing at all to rival the record of Zionist terror against Arabs, other Jews, UN officials."

The Guardian has now confirmed that if an existing claimaint loses their PIP on reassessment, which happens regularly due to assessor error, they will then become a 'new claimant' and therefore subject to the 4-point rule.

So, no one is so-called protected. Kill the bill.

[Elara Shurety @elaraks]

Washing and bathing is the only PIP area with a 3 point descriptor. To underscore the cruelty of these cuts: even if changed to 3+ rule, those who cannot wash their hair/below the waist without help from someone else would STILL lose their PIP (unless they scored a 4 elsewhere).

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

The government wants to proscribe @Pal_action as part of a wider crackdown on those protesting for Palestine. This undermines all our civil liberties and democratic freedoms.

Not only is Britain complicit in genocide, it’s now trying to criminalize one of the only groups taking direct action against the weapons sellers fueling it. Palestine Action is being targeted for daring to confront these merchants of death. They must be defended.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Far as I can see, nowhere in this reporting does it mention that:

a.) Iran already had a deal, until Trump pulled out in 2018

b.) Iran were *re*negotiating the deal, until their negotiators and their families were murdered in Israel's "pre-emptive strike"

Abolish the BBC.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The Times hosts an article penned by a man wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The West, at its best.

[TLTM @TLTM32]

Lest not forget that in 2004, @Keir_Starmer defended a man who broke into an RAF base and tried to set fire to British aircraft. Starmer argued his actions were legal because they were to stop an 'illegal war.'

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

🚨BREAKING: We’re deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups.

This is the latest in a succession of measures taken by the UK government to clamp down on protest in the UK.

[Sean Biggerstaff @Seanchuckle]

A "Labour" government have just legalised corporate theft and thrown every arts sector worker in the country under the bus, just to look like cool guys to the tech giants. https://t.co/EWByEla8JP

Disability benefits are gutted while we expand the military budget, supposedly to address national security threats.

But this is how the British military is actually used: to support Israel's quest for nuclear hegemony in the Middle East and regime change in Iran.

This messaging is desperate. Good for Greta for not letting them have a picture of her accepting the food.

And I’m sure she’s in good spirits, her presence is the only thing preventing these nazi freaks from being able to kill the other people on board.
