I remember visiting a school at Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza. The children were excitable, artistic and full of hope.
That school has now been completely destroyed.
How many more children must die before our government calls for a ceasefire?

Glad to hear the government is finally getting round to sorting out the UK's leasehold mess. When you buy a property you should own the property. Lets hope it delivers.
Piers Morgan rejects Imarn Ayton's theory that the killing of Tyre Nichols by five black police officers was motivated by racism.
"So black people are anti-black?" he asks. "It's complete nonsense."
The ideology does not hold when it meets reality. Sturgeon laughs weirdly and shows exasperation not because of the questions but because she knows she cannot answer them. This is what it looks like to see lies fall apart in real time.
All the major parties have failed to rid England and Wales of leasehold. But @michaelgove is correct. In the 1990s, Labour promised compulsory commonhold on new-build flats and to delete marriage value. But when they got into power, they caved. Read here: https://t.co/9LYSp3WFua
#50sWomen#FullRestitution#StolenPension I'm giving up work to care for my husband. I'll claim every penny I can. We've paid for 50 years. No pension for me for 2 more years. So here goes. No guilt whatsoever. There's no social care. So it has to be me. Anyone want my NHS job?
Unadulterated political nonsense. I am a registered nurse and no colleagues of mine, who are numerous,have ever used a food bank in their lives. We all have/had 6 weeks paid leave + BH & very generous pensions taken early at 60.
Only 4.2% of all nurses went on strike in Dec.

I’m a registered nurse. Nurses pay is well above the average wage, 6 weeks paid holiday a year and a very generous pension paid early. Never used a food bank in my life and neither have the multitude of nurses I know.

“I feel ashamed that I bought into the narrative about Jeremy Corbyn. I should have been a lot more careful and scrupulous about some of my journalism. Others could make the same assessment"
@OborneTweets on the Labour Files:
For Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, the champion of antisemites, even foul Chris Williamson is a cause, to be be defended with "Labour Against the Witchhunt".
She's still a Labour party member and is now pursuing an NEC seat, with backing from 9 CLPs so far. And Corbyn, of course. 1/7
I’m delighted to have been reselected as the candidate for Enfield Southgate.
