EXC: Councils are paying millions to relocation firms to help them permanently move homeless families out of big cities.

They are often moved to smaller, deprived towns in the Midlands and north of England.

An entire family wiped out by Israel’s airstrike on a building in Ayto, Zagharta yesterday where they had taken refuge in.
They had fled from the village of Aitaroun, Southern Lebanon as it was heavily bombarded.

And more sanctions.

@stephensackur @BBCHARDtalk @stephensackur This is terrible. @BBCHARDtalk was a vital piece of global public service journalism and one of the programmes I aspired to work for when at the BBC.

[OliviaCrellin 📺📻🎥 @OliviaCrellin]

This is a travesty. @DCMS @lisanandy - THIS is some of the MOST important global accountability journalism in the world and it has never been more needed. Don’t stand by while Tim Davie and any others behind this decision commit journalistic vandalism of the highest order. Shame.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Can't believe this is happening in the UK in 2024 🥴

➡️Hull: thug shouts to police saying you're as bad as the paki who killed those three girls (the full clip has more obscenities)

➡️ Manchester: group of thugs surround then attack a black man

➡️ A group of thugs push bins into the police

➡️ A group of thugs knock over a policeman on his motorbike, then attack him

There are the thugs who have turned up causing disruption across the country, and then those who are motivating and encouraging the thugs to cause disruption across the country - this behaviour must never be normalised

Thank you to the police for trying to keep the peace 🙏

Yes!! Finally someone who realises that it's not just the 'what' of politics but the 'how' that determines what we can achieve for society! Kudos @EllieChowns - what an exciting voice to enter parliament!

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns

Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting"

➡️ Sitting
- Chamber is too small
- In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices
- Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP

There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths

➡️ Speaking
- If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak
- Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker
- This is not good for a democracy
- Find a better way of allocating speaking time
- The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible

➡️ Voting
- It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting
- While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter
- If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive
- If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat)

"My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"

I know Gaza is overwhelming, but I really think we need to find space in our advocacy for Sudan. Some of the images coming out of there are horrific. The amount of massacres being carried out is shocking. This needs to stop

[Sally Hayden @sallyhayd]

Very nice work @ViviennePat & @refugeejourno: "Bafta is collaborating with RJP for the first time to award £30,000 to 11 individuals who have been forcibly displaced… from places including Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Ukraine, and Gaza." https://t.co/DYkdMMxrAW

Today marks 7 years since the Grenfell Tower fire. 72 people lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. They were victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect. The fight for justice is far from over.
