Their numbers are falling, their users declining, deliveries stalling….and that has got to be a good thing. Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats etc. a report says their growth has stalled and one of the reasons seems to be that people don’t trust them and don’t think they are safe. Increasing reports of rudeness, confrontation and even violence. Ring doorbell video which shows the terrible behaviour. Ongoing use of illegal workers and illegal migrants…..let alone the terrible service itself. I have never used any of them snd never will. I would urge you to do the same. Let’s crash these global tech corporations backed by Blackrock, Vanguard etc to the ground and let’s shame the celebrities that sold their souls to advertise for them.

@ianbremmer The US can open Hormuz next week by simply evacuating all US bases in the Middle East, ending all military and economic aid to Israel, and lifting sanctions on Iran. The entire world wins except Israel's land thieving regime.

If you don't think it's democratic that 33.7% of votes should give a party nearly 64% of the seats in Parliament, then please, sign and share as much as you can. Currently, your vote can be wasted, it can be ignored. Get your voice heard. Equality for all. https://t.co/GlQkzZdYcX

Tony Blair is reportedly gearing up to rule Gaza for 5 years under a ‘Gaza International Transitional Authority’.

Tony Blair is responsible for an illegal war which killed 1 million Iraqis. Now this harbinger of destruction is setting his sights on Gaza, backed by the US.

Is there any more fitting symbol of the ‘rules-based order’ being nothing more than a codeword for colonial barbarism than a war criminal British Prime Minister, ruling over the ruins of Gaza as some sort of imperial viceroy, after Israel’s settler-colonial genocide?

URGENT STATEMENT WORKERS PARTY

At 11am we were informed by police officers in Gatwick that our party leader George Galloway and his wife have been detained at the airport @sussex_police @BTP .

The police agreed that they would pass a message to our comrades from us and pass back a reply from them.

Despite repeated attempts to gather further information, and despite repeated calls to the police, we have no further information on their wellbeing, nor on the observation of their Rights.

There is no information on charges or alleged offences. Therefore we may conclude this is politically motivated intimidation.

We call on all supporters and friends to amplify this message and demand the IMMEDIATE RELEASE of our leaders.

A doctor is arrested in London for protesting. While he is, he calmly describes how medical infrastructure is being systematically dismantled in Gaza, while healthcare workers (like him) lose their lives.

Really incredible clip. The best of British.

LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE IN THE GYM! 👊🏼

[Michael Moore @MMFlint]

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

That "skinny" girl lifting the bar recently gained 5lbs trying to overcome her eating disorder.

That skinny kid on the bench press is trying to get stronger because he’s tired of being bullied.

That young girl doing her workout wrong is new to the gym and struggling with addiction.

That angry looking buff guy just lost his job and has no idea how he is going to provide for his family.

That "overweight" girl wearing tight clothes has already lost 30lbs and is only just starting to feel confident.

That Mom lifting 5lbs has been dealing with postpartum depression and just making it to the gym is a huge win for her.

That guy sitting alone on the turf just lost his wife and his entire world is falling apart.

Everyone in the gym is fighting demons we know nothing about. Be kind always. 🙏🏼❤️

Elected politicians get very good salaries. They also get public money for their research and admin staff and all their expenses.
It should be a criminal offence for them to accept any personal gifts or donations at all.

[Youth Demand @youth_demand]

'There is a genocide happening right now in Gaza, it has been so destroyed it is literally a different colour from space.'

At the end of WWII, this country looked at the bodies and promised we would never allow these kinds of atrocities to happen again. This monument reminds us of those who gave their lives fighting a genocide, and that ‘never again’ means never again for anyone.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

The bookies odds show that Im the only serious challenger to Keir Starmer in Holborn & St.Pancras. Don’t waste your vote on the Tories, LibDems or Greens, who r not even campaigning here. Give most Britons what they want: a change of government but without Starmer at its helm

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

It's not every day you get to vote for a candidate like @andrewfeinstein, someone who cut his teeth in the anti apartheid struggle, a lifelong antiwar campaigner and a friend to Palestine. So if you live in Holborn and St Pancras, make sure you get out and vote for him tomorrow!
