BLISSED OUT🦢🦢 9/16 !!!!

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

D’Angelo was more than a voice. He was a feeling.

The kind that could silence a room or move a crowd with one note. His music carried the soul of gospel, the grit of hip-hop, and the smoothness of pure R&B, creating a sound that changed everything. From ‘Brown Sugar’ to ‘Voodoo,’ he gave us music that felt human and divine all at once. His art gave soul a new language and reminded us that it’s not just a genre, it’s a truth.

After a private battle with pancreatic cancer, D’Angelo has transitioned at the age of 51. Today, we say goodbye, and thank you for your voice, your vision, and your soul. Rest easy, king. 🖤

[Mel Smith @iamMelsmith]

And like so many of his fathers, D’Angelo produced himself. Wrote everything. Played a lot of the instruments. Sung everything. We don’t lift that fact up as much as we do for Prince or Sly or Marvin but D got his hands dirty to create all of those masterpieces.

[wauce @wauceonline]

D’angelo one of those artists that was borderline unsettling how his music transcended what even felt like was possible for a human being to create

I just sit there listening like what the fuck is even coming out of the speakers rn this cant just be air pressure

[main event dani uso ᥫ᭡ || adw pilled📚🌍 @GLASSTABLEFLO]

d’angelo is the true meaning of neo-soul and one of my comfort artists, this truly hurts…may he rest peacefully ♥️

[gloria alamrew, renowned Pisces 🌒 @GloriaAlamrew]

D’Angelo’s passing is a meteoric loss for music. He was an artist that never got *enough* flowers, in my opinion. A curious and propulsive musician. Man. I’m absolutely devastated.

[Complex Music @ComplexMusic]

undeniable classics.

Rest in Power, D’Angelo 🙏

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Bob Power, who co-produced 'Brown Sugar,' talked to Rolling Stone about D'Angelo:

"There are very few times in history where a real innovator comes along, with a truly original way of constructing their art, and an undeniable depth that everybody hears: Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, Prince…and D’."

[King Wow @KingWow]

The greatest thing about D’Angelo is that he never sacrificed integrity for fame. At the very peak of his popularity he stepped away because people started to focus more about how he looked than his music. It was always about the MUSIC for him. A true artist until the very end.

[IAMNJERA @IAMNJERA]

It really breaks my heart that I never got to see D'Angelo perform live in person. That was a literal dream of mine.

[Missy Elliott @MissyElliott]

Rest Peacefully D’Angelo🙏🏾🕊️
No parent want to see their children go but it’s painful for children to see their parents go to so send prayers up for his son who also lost his mom this year for strength 🙏🏾
