CHANGE.

“Ian Corfield has donated more than £20,000… including £5,000 to @RachelReevesMP, last summer, according to Electoral Commission data.

Corfield was appointed a director in the Treasury in July, a senior role that would ordinarily be reserved for career civil servants.”

Labour is going back on its plans to radically reform the water regulator! 🤯

@EllieChowns told the @Guardian, Labour need to reverse Conservative cuts and give the @EnvAgency the funding it needs to protect our environment

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

I got 5 years for planning to disrupt catastrophic carbon emissions.

Seem fair?

[Larry Sanders @Sanders4Health]

LSE and Kings College London researchers raise the real issues in UK politics, which rarely happens. They found that in the last ten years government austerity has shortened the lives of 190,000 people. Austerity means death. Will the Labour Party choose life or death?

Its the 205th anniversary of Peterloo on 16th August. The Magistrate who sent the Yeomanry in to cut down protesters for the vote on that Manchester Monday, Hulton, was a lifelong Tory. More than time for the Tories to apologise

🚨The Guardian reports global extreme heat "beyond anything ever seen or even thought possible before".

Wildfires and extreme weather events are already devastating communities.

Across the world, firefighters on the frontline stand united in calling for climate action.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

If a state which wasn’t a Western ally was perpetrating these obscenities, there would have been a consensus long ago that they rank amongst the worst atrocities of our age.

I know it, you know it, and more to the point, Israeli apologists know it.

[richard oneill @silverrich39]

I'm 85 and lived through the Luftwaffe bombing in WW2 Liverpool, ex army war pensioner, witness to some awful sights! "BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING AS HORRIBLE AS THIS!" Get a grip you Western leaders and put an end to it, instead of supplying the arms that inflict it!

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

The Israeli military has bombarded nearly every inch of Gaza with US-made bombs. Israeli forces have dropped over 70,000 bombs on Gaza in the past ten months — making it the deadliest bombing campaign in the 21st century.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

We're completely horrified to see newborn twins are the latest victims of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza while their father Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan registered their birth.

Asser and Ayssel were just four days old. No parent should ever go through this agony.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

There is no other conflict on earth where our media refuse to name the belligerent responsible. Israel killed them. Israel.

[Mr Benn @thebowlerhatman]

This is probably the last time David McKee drew Mr Benn.
It is a treasured souvenir.
It shows Mr Benn still defiant as he spends his later years by the palm trees.
I love it.

EveryDoctor’s essential work into mental health privatisation has just been published. Click below to read about the 3 major mental health companies that have made over £100 million each because we don’t have enough NHS hospital beds 🚨🚨🚨

This is happening because our governments are allowing it to happen.

[Jessie Lee Rubin 🇵🇸 @manly_footwear]

The image deemed offensive. I could not be more ashamed as an alum of this college. We’ve reached new levels of intellectual suppression and political persecution. With this, Barnard is telling its student that the very outline of a country can’t be studied openly

[Howard Beckett @mayamuskl]

Newborn twins in Gaza murdered with their mother & grandmother as their father went to collect birth certificates.

The horrors are unimaginable. So bad Sky News is reporting them.

Happening because Biden & Starmer are supporting a monster in Netanyahu.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra deserves nothing but our contempt. Cancelling a renowned pianist for dedicating a piece to fallen journalists in Gaza has made the MSO complicit in genocide. Shame on its spineless directors. https://t.co/zoqj2FWZ9g

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

Firefighters across the world will be paying close attention to the final Grenfell Inquiry report in September.

The fire was a crime committed by politicians and businesses. This must never be allowed to happen again.

It is our duty to amplify the community's call for justice.
