Most disabled people were not born disabled. Around 80% acquire disability through illness, injury or accident. Disability can happen to your child, partner, parent, friend or you.

Demonising disabled people is ultimately demonising all people.

A Wealth Tax just in NYC raised billions.

Imagine how much it would raise in the UK?

Lets cut billionaires Welfare.

They won't even notice.

It’s surely clear to everyone now. . There is unrelenting propaganda campaign to scrap the triple lock and reduce -or even get rid of the state pension altogether- because they want the money for more wars. But of course the people pushing the ‘state pension is unsustainable’ propaganda line will have fantastic ex-politician/ex civil servant gold-plated pensions themselves so they don’t have to worry like the rest of us do.

@David__Osland And Keir Starmer has a personal law for his tax free pension

1345 kids go to Eton

Only one person has a dedicated tax agreement

That is more privileged

Life’s not fair

It’s gross hypocrisy fighting for equality for others and privilege for self

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

The Times editorial is correct. The assisted suicide Bill is a shambles and is very defective. Its key sponsors, ultimately the Government, know this but are pressing on regardless.

Editorial: Assisted dying bill is shoddy and riddled with defects

When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.

New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.

Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.

But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.

I think this sums up the perfectly the direction of travel our country is heading 😭 or should I say we've already arrived . 😭 #authoritarianregime @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews @Channel4News any MSM reporting on the threats to our democracy? That would be a No then?

Nigel Farage is breaking British company law.

Missed deadline to file confirmation statement with Companies House.
Failed to verify his identity, legal requirement.
Failure to comply is a criminal offence.

Low attendance in parliament, busy with 2nd jobs

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

It was never about safeguarding the kids. This is a smokescreen for government controlled digital ID via social media access - applicable to all.

[EveryDoctor @EveryDoctorUK]

Most of us don't think about the NHS daily. But when an emergency hits, it's the most important thing in our world.

Healthcare workers go above and beyond under immense pressure to provide urgent care. But the system needs protecting.

Meanwhile, the heroic doctor's torture by Israel continues. They continue to torture Dr. Hussam Abu Sefia for the crime of not abandoning his patients. Without laying charges, offering him anything resembling due process, Israel is killing him slowly. One day, everyone will say they were against this

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."

The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.

Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.

The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

[Aisha Nicole Malik-Smith @ANMalikSmith]

I was once sympathetic towards assisted dying in the UK.

But in the context of a broken social care system that fails to provide dignity, examples of Disabled people starving to death, naming the DWP in their suicide notes?!

No Labour MP should support this unsafe divisive bill

"Thames Water lifeline ‘not enough’ to avert state takeover."

Thames Water has been bankrupt for years and customers have been paying for their own exploitation. Govt needs to end it, TODAY!

How can “record funding” lead to NHS cuts?

Because more money doesn’t mean enough money when it’s being siphoned off into PFI debts & private outsourcing. The cash drains away before reaching patients.
