The UK spends as much on tax breaks for the wealthy’s pensions as it does on benefits for people with disabilities. One is handed out automatically. The other is fought for, often for years. If you want to see how rigged our system is, read on. 🧵

Malaysian 🇲🇾 PM Anwar bin Ibrahim:

“Israel 🇮🇱 no longer belongs in a community of civilised nations. Barbarism demands decisive action….including embargo, suspension & even expulsion [from the UN]”

Arms embargo now
Expel Israel 🇮🇱 from the UN now

Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 today

I won’t forget this little boy and those like him…

What about you @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is a massive media scandal.

@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.

It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.

They then deleted it. This is the original.

Danny Sriskandaraja, "Steve Reed talked about he ideology and the question is why are we paying for the ineptitude of the water companies" #BBCQT

"We're not.. We paying for the ideology of the 1980s moment of deciding to privatise somethings human's can't do without, water"

"Worse still its based on awful economics.. Why would you privatise a service which is effectively a monopoly?"

"This is the biggest heist in plain site.. £85 billion has been paid to the shareholders of water companies.. While we have been treated like cash-cows.. How can that be right"

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step:

“It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court.

"I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

BREAKING:

Israel is carpet bombing Tyre in South Lebanon, an ancient city with over 5,000 years of history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Tyre, a cradle of civilization that predates most nations is being systematically bombed by Israel, yet the world watches in silence.

Starmer confirms GB Energy isn’t an energy company but an investment arm for private sector & will not:

1) produce energy

2) sell energy

3) own any energy infrastructure

And no explanation as to how it reduces bills.

Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands.

Well, well, well, well... would you look at that. What an utter shambles. Great exclusive by @oliver_wright & @adamvaughan_uk

Seema Kennedy @SeemaKennedy board member of water industry regulator @ofwat (appointments are made by the Secretary of State for the Environment) is also working for a lobbying firm that is "spearheading a campaign that could make it harder for consumers to sue water companies".

No conflict of interest there then. I'll assume she'll be resigning before lunchtime then shall I?

GENUINE question:
Can a journalist please investigate and publish a list of all MPs funded by the Israel lobby including Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel? And can they note who among these MPs supports the GENOCIDE?

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Northern Gaza is being wiped off the map. Not my words but those of 38 respected aid agencies including @Oxfam @christianaid @MedicalAidPal

Staying silent is not an option.

Passivity is not an option.

Complicity is not an option.

For the sake of humanity, we must see action.

Half of all people employed in the UK work for small businesses which are run by working people. So, an increase in employers' national insurance will increase taxes on all those working people. Rachel Reeves either does not know this or is denying the truth. Neither is good.

GB ENERGY - We were told GB Energy will bring bills down and it was given £8.3 BILLION of tax payers funds.

“When do you expect GB energy to start bringing energy bills down?”

Response from the Chair of GB Energy:

It’s not our job to bring them down.

Oh …
