Andy Burnham is desperate to win back Labour voters over Gaza. But his deceptive statement actually promises no concrete change in policy. Arms to Israel will continue. Intelligence to Israel will continue. Palestine Action will stay banned. The Israel lobby will still dominate.
"We recognised a Palestinian state only after every part of a functioning state - schools, hospitals, administrative buildings, food production, generators, water & sanitation facilities - had been systematically bombed in Gaza, which we helped with spare plane parts and surveillance flights. And then Israel sort of stopped bombing so much after we made a symbolic gesture, but still did some bombing, but just the right amount so that the BBC could now politely ignore a smaller number of daily deaths and we can pretend the genocide is over even as parents in Gaza have to protect their sleeping kids from rats and disease. History will be kind to us."
Utterly delusional, craven stuff. A stain on British politics that won't wash out.
YOU WHAT?!
A KFC bargain bucket is THIRTY-FUCKIN’-FIVE GREAT BRITISH POUNDS?! 🤯
There can only be 2 types of customer buying a Kentuckyfriedshitebox at that price…
those who weren’t alive in 1996 and, those just released from prison after a 25-stretch! 😆🤣
@ShaneTate72@PippaCrerar Oooh where can we find these joba where we can have a cuppa tea and a chat for a wage that’s enough to sustain living not just existing? I’m all ears….
Press & politicians keep saying theres been a huge rise in claims of ADHD / depression / anxiety as a "main condition" for PIP, but that's not how the form works? You don't claim a main condition; you just list them all.
Again, something they're hoping the public doesn't know.
@AmyFairbrother7@sub2pewdsONyt And this is why, when it’s a choice between employing a disabled applicant or non-disabled applicant; employers will go for the latter! So it’s interesting that the OP suggests the disabled are somehow benefit seekers! 🙄
@BenKentish@lulu442221 Sorry Ben but there’s no fairness about it. There’s no such thing as a ‘main condition’ on a PIP application or assessment. It’s simply alphabetical order. It’s politically expedient for the DWP and mouth-frothing, right-wing sociopaths to push this narrative though!
If they want to scrap PIP we could always go back to DLA and basing it on the medical opinions of the doctors who actually treat the claimant and not some DWP decision maker with an NVQ L3 in health & social care and 3 weeks job training
Ahora que Colombia 🇨🇴 ya no está en el Mundial, tengo que irle a Noruega 🇳🇴, porque no solamente le metió una PITIZA a Israel 🇮🇱 en las clasificatorias (5-0), sino que DONÓ TODAS LAS GANANCIAS DEL PARTIDO A PALESTINA 🇵🇸.
I had a chat with a Labour MP who was once a friend.
She convinced herself that the UK faces annihilation from Russia, China and Iran.
So she is prepared to accept Israeli genocide, Ukrainian corruption and in the UK bombs not hospitals, for the "bigger picture".
Utterly bonkers.
Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton, triggers a by-election and plans to stand in said by-election in a bid to become MP for Clacton - which, to reiterate, is the job he has just resigned from.
What a waste of tax payers time and money.
Utter nonsense.
The whole country knows what Jeremy Corbyn's front door looks like. The media used to camp outside it every day.
Nigel Farage hasn't received even 5% of the treatment Jeremy Corbyn faced.
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
Activists built a water station providing clean drinking water to Palestinians.
He posts about it's launch on X.
One hour later Israel bombs it, killing the workers.
EXC: In a letter obtained by @zeteouk a Home Office minister justifies a policy which experts tell him is "racist" and "two tier".
The Home Sec has the power to strip citizenship from Brits born in the UK - if their parents or grandparents were immigrants. It impacts 9m people.
