The Tories started it to reward their ''pals' in the hotel trade. £140 a night in horrible accommodation and food they can't eat and the time taken to process their claims adding more money to the troughs of owners' profit.
The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane.
A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately.
This is a moment for moral clarity & action.
Four years ago today, one of the proudest moments of my life. Sitting in #KenmureStreet this morning on the anniverary. It was Priti Patel we were fighting that day, its now @Keir_Starmer and @YvetteCooperMP. Keep standing up, keep fighting back - these are our neighbours!
The ‘strangers’ I see are the Labour MPs taking winter fuel cash from pensioners, cutting disability benefits, cheering on Brexit, putting people out of work in the North Sea, upping taxes on hospices & care homes, and selling weapons to a state starving a civilian population.
"Netanyahu is the Hitler of our time, because what he's doing to the Palestinian people is the same thing the Nazis did to the Jews. Stop the genocide and stop Western complicity."
@RpsAgainstTrump Can't believe Lutnick is so incredibly stupid to believe that it is exporters not importers who pay tariffs. Assumption must be that he is a blatant liar who believes the US public are incredibly stupid.
“We don’t play politics” says Louis Mosley, head of Palantir UK.
Maybe someone should tell his boss Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “Safe means that the other person is scared. That’s how you make someone safe.”
We are giving these guys our NHS data. #BBCLauraK
🤡 This Labour Roaster holds the privatised catastrophe of the English Water Market as the example Scotland should follow! Peak Unionist... unbelievable.
Finance minister Bezalel Smotrich announced Israel’s next step: “Gaza will be destroyed.” Those who have survived 2,000-pound US bombs are starving to death. (No food has entered Gaza since March 5.) Smotrich: “Operation Gideon’s Chariots” will lead to “the conquest of Gaza...”
Gideon’s Chariot will begin after Trump visits Israel. Nothing Hamas does or doesn’t do will prevent Gideon’s deadly Chariots. Trump’s visit will give the green light, sanctify Israel’s actions. In addition to the $3.8 billion in aid Israel already receives from the US, Trump has provided $12 billion more since taking office.
@danielgoyal I agree on the proposal but I have strong doubts that Israel wouldn't attack a UK vessel. Their interpretation of self-defence, ethnic cleansing, genocide is in flagrant defiance of international law.
And here was me thinking that Australia was on Planet Earth. I'm sure any friend on Mars would recognise an Israeli genocide if they could see it. What a pitiful statement from Australia's Foreign Minister!
