“Twenty years on, I came back to campaigning for sufferers of ME only to find that almost nothing had changed.”
MSP Helen McDade speaking about #MECFS in the NHS debate in Scottish Parliament.
Horrifying.
Israel bombed a residential building in Toul, South Lebanon.
Paramedics rushed inside to save civilians trapped under the rubble.
Israel waited for them to enter.
Then dropped another bomb on them.
Israel is hunting down and assassinating medical rescuers.
This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years.
Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all.
People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.
We, the Lebanese and Palestinian, are the only people in history watching our genocide live, and we could get arrested or suspended for saying stop kill us, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.
Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.
Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.
The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.
Israel bombs Lebanon on Mondays and Thursdays.
Israel bombs Syria on Wednesdays.
Israel bombs Palestine the rest of the week.
Only Israel can bomb 3 countries and still be perceived as the victim.
Another day, another unspeakable act of cruelty.
There will be no consequences. Instead, our government will keep providing military and economic support, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes.
What utter inhumanity. We will not rest until Palestine is free.
Woman arrested live on air by Donald Trump's thugs just because she says she doesn't want her tax dollars used to commit war crimes in Venezuela.
This is far worse repression than they have in Venezuela.
US 🇺🇸 troops entered a foreign country
Murdered people
Kidnapped the head of state & wife
Trump then tells the world he will ‘run’ Venezuela 🇻🇪 & is taking the oil
And Starmer 🇬🇧 & his merry gang of mindless minnows can’t say it’s illegal
Adam Boulton nails it:
“Pathetic”
Invading another sovereign nation and abducting its president is a violation of international law.
What is preventing Keir Starmer from admitting something so glaringly obvious to us all?
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.
The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.
I asked the Foreign Secretary whether it would be legal if a foreign power accused the British Prime Minister of breaking its domestic laws, bombed the UK, killed dozens of British citizens and abducted the PM and his wife in the middle of the night.
She refused to answer.
Laura Kuenssberg, "What is clear though is that America has carried our strikes on Venezuela and captured their leader. Some politicians in this country have already condemned that, do you?"
Keir Starmer, "I want to establish the facts first"
What a pathetic Prime Minister you keep turning out to be @Keir_Starmer - from stellar leadership in opposition to coward in Downing street
If you’re an expert on health but you’re baffled, puzzled or confused by the rising illness and disability over the past 5 years, then you’re not an expert on health. You’re an expert in denial.

@BBC Can you please stop spamming me with daily emails. I having been unsubscribing every day for the last couple of weeks and you confirm my request. But you are still sending me this unwanted spam!
