I’m old enough to remember when a bunch of Hollywood celebs got together to berate Jonathan Grazer in an open letter in which they also claimed Israel doesn’t go after civilian targets.
Surprised not to be called to speak in a Prime Ministers Questions mostly about racism and me. Stood over 40 times. Speaker claims he ran out of time. Truth is he can make PMQs go on as long as he likes
Calling for a ceasefire is apparently anti-Jewish now. Think about how much damage these pro-Israel goons are doing to both the definition of antisemitism and the safety of Jews by weaponizing it on behalf of Netanyahu and co. (For the record, plenty of Jews support a ceasefire.)
Please remember, as Sunak launches yet another attack on the right to protest today: he joined a road-blocking protest last Friday. The hypocrisy and double standards are off the scale.
Blood libel is a very specific thing: historically, it relates to the atrocious antisemitic claim that Jews would kill Christian children and use their blood to make their matzos. It was a disgusting myth that led to the persection and slaughter of Jews.
It is not a shield for the Israeli government and their spokespeople to hide behind when the state is caught killing civilians in plain sight.
The irony of it being deployed in these circumstances, when starving people were desperately trying to access food from the comparative handful of aid trucks that have been able to get through - comparative handful because extremist Israeli citizens have been blocking them from getting into Gaza - is depraved.
“Inflation was over 11% when I got this job” boasts @RishiSunak proudly
Imagine his shock when he remembers he was Chancellor & responsible for managing the country’s economy for more than two years almost immediately prior that
Conservative MPs have ramped up their accusations of BBC bias against them, pointing out that it’s now been over 6 months since the BBC has employed a Chairman willing to help the Prime Minster get an £800,000 loan
The BBC commits grave breaches of its own impartiality rules every day, letting dark-money junktanks pose as objective sources, rather than the corporate lobbyists they are. This bias doesn't favour the left. It favours the right. "BBC leftwing bias" is a complete invention.
Junior doctors didn’t waste billions of taxpayers’ money on dodgy contracts.
Junior doctors didn’t sell off our health service.
Junior doctors didn’t cause record-high waiting lists.
The Tories created this crisis. Solidarity with junior doctors striking to save our NHS.
As a former NHS doctor, I'm surprised to see a Conservative MP - whose party has blood on its hands as a direct consequence of its treatment of the NHS - using the words "unethical" and "unforgivable" so freely.
@VictoriaAtkins What’s more important, Vicky?
Scrapping inheritance tax for the wealthiest 4% at a cost of £8bn?
Or…
Giving doctors who serve 100% of us in our hours of need a pay rise costing £2bn?
Your government is a disgrace.
Yesterday, the PM Sunak donated 6 boxes of mince pies to front line workers.
On the same day, the Mayor of Greater Manchester @AndyBurnhamGM donated 15% of his salary to help tackle homelessness, which he does every month.
Compare and contrast....
Tory claim is that corruption was justified because we needed PPE.
I spoke to a PPE supplier on Sunday who’s been supplying the NHS for years.
He said existing suppliers were ready but were ignored by the gov.
This is a story of corruption AND incompetence
Never forget the UK’s Big 4 energy suppliers - price gouged £9.5 billion of profits in 2021.
Up 84 per cent, pre-pandemic
Now Ofgem wants us all to pay a £16 household charge to help energy firms clawback £3bn in debts they can’t squeeze from the poorest
Nationalise them now.
Keir Starmer served in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet, campaigned to make him Prime Minister twice and called him a ‘friend’ in the 2020 leadership contest.
He was either lying then or he’s lying now.
Either way, Starmer comes across as deeply untrustworthy and unpleasant.
No, those problems are not caused by immigration.
They are caused by AUSTERITY.
Immigrants are the scapegoats the government uses to shift the blame for the impacts of austerity.
