Israeli air strikes have hit Al Ahli hospital in Gaza. More than 500 people - patients, doctors & those sheltering - have been killed.
What unspeakable horror. We will mourn their loss forever.
Our leaders could have spoken up for peace. They chose to cheer on war instead.
When will they demand an end to these atrocious war crimes? How many Palestinian lives will it take to call for these indiscriminate killings to stop?
Please, for the sake of humanity, raise your voice for an immediate ceasefire. The existence of the Palestinian people is at stake.
Ireland sends a message of hope. #IsraelPalestineConflict
Huge respect to Patrick Kielty for these important closing words on @RTELateLateShow
FYI Patrick’s own father John "Jack" Kielty was shot dead in 1988 by a group calling themselves the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) during the Troubles in N. Ireland.
If anyone is qualified to talk about hope it’s @PatricKielty and the people of Ireland, where the mothers played a huge role in achieving “the miracle” of peace.
In the absence of any adults in the room, so glad to see Israeli and Palestinian mothers make this important stand. Great to see diplomats and politicians join them.
We should condemn the targeting of all civilian life, no matter who does it.
Why can't our politicians uphold this basic moral principle, and defend international law universally and equally?
How many innocent Palestinian lives should be erased in the name of self-defence?
@DerryBanShee@StandingforXX How does it, in any way, hurt you or affect your life? You are entitled to your own mind as is she. Your hate only hurts you.
Such a powerful speech, from the heart, about Suella Braverman's views on multiculturalism in Britain from
@lisanandy 👏🏼
Rapturous applause from the audience.
It's worth watching ⏬️ #bbcqt
It's taken the Tories six years to go from throwing a prankster out of conference for handing Theresa May a P45 to throwing a Tory chair of the London Assembly out of conference for muttering about a Tory Home Secretary's "homophobic rant". What might the next six years bring?
Incredible - worth remembering Andrew Boff represents the Tories at the London Assembly
He explains to @itvnews why he spoke out during Suella Braverman’s speech
'When you see a bully you challenge them and that's what I was doing and I challenged her'
I can guarantee those spouting right wing politics or lauding the likes of Braverman have never had a conversation with a refugee or anyone who has fled war.
Jake can you lot try and do something meaningful in your last year in Parliament. You’ve undermined every public sector service yet have the nerve to still try and somehow throw stones at the opposition. You’re the most dysfunctional,inept,ineffective government we’ve ever had. You’ve taken away all our trust in parliament and degraded MP’s reputations with a whole generation. The country desperately needs a change!
This is my take on the Starmer hate campaign, Corbyn and who this is all really helping. It’s not about emotional allegiance, it’s about a logical reaction to an emergency.
First Past the Post doesn’t care about earned votes or feelings, it’s merely a tool to benefit the Tories.
@yellowbrickroad if you see 1 thing this Summer make it Wizard of Oz @ the Palladium! Its a sparkly, rainbow filled dream of a show! Incredible cast from munchkins to Toto to a dreamy Dorothy! 🌈 the Wizard Wednesday offer made it affordable for us, so very grateful. ❤️
I have booked tkts for so many acts over the years. Never have I experienced such an awful shit show as was the #TaylorSwiftErasTour tickets. So many issues, it was clear @AXS_UK & @TicketmasterUK just wanted to push VIP tkts for £600.+ Concerts are no longer for everyone.
@np4mp I absolutely agree, there is no shortage of cash when it comes to an election. I am certain that this by-election is just a dry run for the big one, and thus people are already voting as they would in a GE, the majority actually missing what would be good for our district.
@sophielouisecc How out of touch with reality do you have to be to describe people who go to Glastonbury as “woke Green luvies” it’s a ginormous music festival that requires a small fortune to attend, majority aren’t there to make a climate statement!
