Abolishing the £2 bus fare cap is a political choice disproportionately hitting the poor.
With rising costs & stagnant wages, it’s a step backwards - especially when more accessible transport is needed.
The government must reverse this & introduce wealth taxes to fund services.
This is not Lebanon.
This is not Palestine.
This is Syria.
Israel is now massively bombing several cities on the Syrian coast.
While Western media keeps yapping about Iran striking Israeli military sites, Israel is dropping bombs on 3 different countries simultaneously.
Netanyahu has got what he wanted, a permanent war enabling him to stay in office whilst the use of US & UK forces risks drawing our country & the US into yet another war that lights up the Middle East. We seem to have learnt nothing from the last decades. https://t.co/SrqoUakZNX
The failure to bring Israel to justice for its genocide in Gaza has emboldened it to attack Lebanon — and brought the region to the brink of all-out war.

Keir Starmer stands with Israel.
Keir Starmer stands with genocide.
Keir Starmer stands with apartheid.
Keir Starmer stands with ethnic cleansing.
Keir Starmer stands with infanticide.
Keir Starmer stands with State Terrorism.
I don’t stand with Keir Starmer.
The UK 🇬🇧 is selling Israel 🇮🇱 parts for F-35 jets & now openly giving military support:
•20,000 Palestinian children murdered
•Over 70k tonnes of bombs dropped on Gaza 🇵🇸
•2,000 and 5,000 dumb bombs dropped on tents
•White phosphorus used
•Lebanon 🇱🇧 invaded.
Shameful.
Israel has confirmed several airforce bases were hit by Iran while civilian damage was "only minor" & caused by shrapnel from interception missiles.
But Keir Starmer said: "The Iranian regime has launched over 200 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Israel."
A grave lie.
For the past year, millions of us around the world have made repeated, desperate calls for a ceasefire. We demanded an end to the genocide. We warned of a disastrous regional conflict.
We were ignored.
Governments have fuelled the machinery of war. Their indifference to human life has destroyed prospects for peace and endangered us all.
All of this violence was entirely avoidable. Without urgent de-escalation, more unimaginable horror is on the horizon.
It’s time to listen to the voices of ordinary people across the globe calling for peace.
That means ending the root cause of this appalling cycle of violence: the occupation of Palestine.
Israel 🇮🇱 set off pager devices indiscriminately murdering innocent people and injurying thousands.
And this is the BBC headline.
Israel is now a pariah nation committing acts of terror and genocide.
Mainstream media bias makes them complicit.
Can you imagine Starmer or Reeves etc doing this, sitting down of the floor of a train because there were no seats.
Nope Starmer etc would have booked vip first class tickets paid for by either the taxpayers or millionaire donors.
The UK has abstained on a UN resolution demanding an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine.
A shameful chapter in this government's ongoing contempt for international law and the dignity of Palestinians.
End the occupation. Free Palestine.
BBC describing Israel 🇮🇱 blowing up pagers, mobiles, laptops as “technological warfare”
Over 3,000 people hospitalised. Over 30 murdered so far including many children
It is criminal
It is terrorism
And mainstream media’s denial makes them complicit.
