Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know:
If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year.
And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.
wow! rich people will continue holding entire economies hostage if there are modest redistributive policies that improve the industrial base & make the country more competitive and livable in the long run? never heard this one before!!
it’s socialism or barbarism and the stooges of parasitic capital have let their preferences be known!
Our analysis of Andy Burnham's statement:
Burnham didn't use the term genocide and instead said it was a matter for the "international courts... rather than politicians" to establish accountability. This is the same as the Starmer government and is in defiance of most of the world's human rights organisations who are referring to Israel's "genocide".
He said war crimes only "appear" to have been committed despite documentation by human rights groups and the UN, and the reason for the ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
He said the UK should be "looking" at "further sanctions... on those involved in the violence in Gaza" but did not make the obvious call for sanctions on Netanyahu who is wanted by the ICC.
Burnham said the UK should only be "looking" at a ban on trade in goods with Israel's illegal settlements (which is now the Starmer government's position), instead of explicitly calling for this now.
He did not call to end all arms exports to Israel, nor for an end to UK military cooperation such as withdrawing the 2020 military accord or ending all military training programmes.
We note his specific words. His statement was that (a) "many people feel" (only) that (b) at the "start" (only) of (c) "Israel's military action in Gaza" (not genocide) the Labour government "didn't get it right", but only apparently because Labour "was too slow to call for a ceasefire" (Yet the issue is not only that, it is that Labour has been supporting Israel through military, intelligence, trade and diplomatic support during the genocide).
BELOW is a disgraceful piece of journalism by @BBCNews about Dr Hussam Abu Safiya
BBC repeats every word of the Israeli statement and does not say that there is NO evidence to support it
They do not say he has been held without charge, let alone a trial, and that there IS evidence he has been tortured
BBC should tell the TRUE story. This man is effectively a HOSTAGE. His treatment by the Israelis is a heinous war crime
TRUTH is that the UK Govt and - shamefully - the BBC, by omissions and this kind of FALSE balance, is complicit
😹😹😹 @CountBinface on BBC Breakfast:
“Maybe they’ve noticed Nigel is having a rather peculiar hissy fit and they’re keeping their powder dry for a second by-election when the parliamentary committee reports.”
🔥 Then the best bit:
“Vote Binface and you save the British taxpayer £380,000.” 😂

@HFalconerMP I'm sure the Israeli government really, really, really took note of your strongly worded letter as they torture a doctor to death. This is worse than doing nothing. It tells Netanyahu that you see horrific crimes but won't do anything meaningful to stop it.
I would urge Nick Robinson to read this & respond as to why none of this was effectively addressed by him in the interview he undertook with Morgan McSweeney. The right thing for him to do now would be to interview in depth Paul Holden. @bbcnickrobinson
What an utter disgrace this man is. Aside from genocide and atrocity denial) he also conflates Jews and Israel, a violation of the IHRA. He should resign. This sort of extremism should have no place in British public life.
If the Secretary of State responsible for social media regulation and oversight says X/Twitter "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities" she should take more decisive action - not just leave the platform. 1/6 🧵
It’s now been 1,000 days since the genocide in Gaza began. I’ll never forget the overwhelming feeling of dread and horror, knowing the hell Israel would unleash on October 8th. Their sadism surpassed my wildest expectations. Free Palestine, always and forever 💔🇵🇸

Apparently someone called Madonna or something is releasing an album tomorrow. All the gays are squealing. Here's her previous single so I hope her new stuff is just as good.
🚨 Months ago, The Intercept lost control of its Signal tip line to an unknown third party, which has been operating it actively.
The Intercept recently learned of the breach and posted the innocuous-sounding update below, chalking up a change in the Signal account username to "security best practices."
In reality, it's a devastating operational security collapse and The Intercept should publicly address it so that sources who may have been trying to leak to the outlet understand they may have been compromised.
Please share this post so potential sources become aware of the risk they may have been duped into. Details below:

I have written to Hamish Falconer after his shocking and disgraceful response to my question about Israel’s illegal settlement expansion.
Baseless smears won’t change the truth: this government is complicit in apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
