Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.

It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

My god. What an indictment of 12 years of Tory govt.

@C4Ciaran has compared NHS performance in 2023 with that in 2011:

▪️x10 worse 4-hour A&E waits
▪️x13 worse 18 wk waits for care
▪️x14 worse cancer waits
▪️x16 worse 4-hour trolley waits
▪️x3,000 worse 12-hour trolley waits

THIS IS SHOCKING

Imagine a country where a man has spent 18 years in jail for trying to steal a coat or imprisoned for 11 yrs for stealing a mobile phone - sentences described by the UN as egregious miscarriages of justice

it’s unthinkable & it’s happening in this country NOW

We travelled thousands of miles across the UK and met hundreds of fishermen, farmers and factory workers who regretted voting leave

⬇️ A timely reminder of why EPs are making the difficult decision to take industrial action:
to reverse the vicious circle destroying EP services and protect them for children, young people & communities in the future.

Nothing Compares 2 U. Heart broken hearing the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor, such an inspiration

[Suzanne Zeedyk @suzannezeedyk]

15. I carried out a word count of t govt's statemnt. It emphasises behaviour & violence. It doesn't talk abt trauma, stress, distress or emotional regulation. The reason this matters is that the way we frame 'the problem' shapes the solutions we will devise. Language is crucial.

[Peace & Justice Project @corbyn_project]

The arrest of anti-monarchy protestors in London this morning is an abuse of power enabled by the authoritarian and unlawful Public Order Bill, passed by this disgraceful government.

The right to peaceful protest must be respected and this demonstration allowed to continue.
