@PaulEmbery Absolutely 👏👏How many more would have been injured without the bravery of the guard - who wouldn't have been there if management had their way... keep fighting for those jobs @RMTunion
@marcwebber Absolutely- so brave! And
shockingly they wanted to reduce staff numbers and ditch the train guards until strike action made them see sense.
KNEECAP STATEMENT:
They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.
Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.
Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.
We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.
This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.
All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.
At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.
Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.
This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.
To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.
Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.
No smear campaign will change that.
Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.
The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.
Shame on them.
@pipharra Lizzie Digs Deep is a sharp, witty sequel that blends humor with mystery as Lizzie Moffitt tackles new challenges, from allotment adventures to uncovering secrets. With a perfect mix of humor and heartfelt moments, it's an engaging, laugh-out-loud read.
Did you know that there is a doctor training job crisis in the NHS?
In 2024, over 6000 doctors applied for internal medical training, with only 1698 training spaces for them.
1000s of doctors are being turned away from being allowed to train as medical specialists because of these training bottlenecks. This means doctors can’t become cardiologists, or specialise in diabetes for example, despite the soaring waiting lists.
These training numbers are being centrally restricted by @UKLabour. It is a scandal that we have underemployed and underutilised doctors who want to help the NHS, but can’t.
Fix this @wesstreeting!
70 years ago, a woman discovered the structure of DNA.
But 2 Cambridge men stole her work and won the Nobel Prize.
She was erased from history and died of cancer.
Here’s how the biggest theft in science buried Rosalind Franklin’s name in history… 🧵u
