Really this does so much to undo what goodwill he may have earned in his conference speech.
The UK is still sending F-35 components and parts facilitating Occupation and genocide. The new sanctions have been revealed by DeClassified to not disrupt a single extant arms license.
The UK is sustaining Israel's domestic defence industry (directly involved in Occupation and genocide) with sizeable procurement from Elbit, with it being integrated into the heart of UK's defence model, making us reliant on Israel.
We still share intelligence and are engaged in close military cooperation with Israel.
Palestine Action is still proscribed, and was banned after direct lobbying from the Israeli defence industry. Now Milliband is hiding behind a court process that's only happening because his own government appealed the High Court striking it down!
The Occupation will only end when Israel is subject to the same sort of sanctions and boycotts that ended apartheid. Anything less is cope and PR.
Ed Miliband said “I want to say to the millions of people in this country, who have been moved & outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people, we hear you. You were right.” Then deproscribe Palestine Action, release the prisoners & stop
arresting people for holding a placard.
@EMASNHSTrust Paramedics are working as direct GP substitutes . This is dangerous.They have no
business working in a dr replacement role
Wouldn’t they be more useful supporting patients on ambulances ? Perhaps this would help to improve ambulance waiting times for patients .
A double lie here from Ed Miliband:
1. He doesn't need to wait for the Supreme Court to rule on Palestine Action's proscription. The Burnham government could overturn the decision tomorrow if it so chose.
2. Miliband says no one's intent was to criminalise "grannies and vicars" for holding up signs. He's right. That's because the Starmer government imagined it could misuse terrorism laws to intimidate the respectable, white middle classes into silence on genocide.
The plan was to leave "brown" people isolated and exposed to the full force of the law if they raised their voices in protest. The Labour government hoped to associate in the public's mind opposition to genocide with supposed Islamic extremism. It massively underestimated public revulsion at the genocide and the UK's complicity.
Don't expect anyone in the establishment media, including Andrew Marr, to highlight either of these very obvious and salient points.
"Supplementary" until an AP is filling doctor's slot. Then suddenly we're pretending the roles are interchangable. THEY ARE NOT.
If you're replacing doctors, call it what it is: doctor substitution.
@dieracg@TheEMboardround Since UMAPs threatened GP employers few months ago & it was circulated among GPs through GP news media, there have been discussions in PCNs & PAs have been seen as a liability
PA adverts dropped soon after this as many PCNs & Practices reassessed the risks

50 years ago in England:
🛌 c360,000 beds
👥 46.7 million population
Today in England:
🛌 c130,000 beds
👥 58.8 million population
That’s a shift from 129.7 people per bed, to 452.3.
This is before you even look at how our population has changed in age and health complexity.

The Government's raft of online 'safety' policies stand to make the UK's internet one of the most controlled in the democratic world.

🚨NEWS: The UK's under-16 social media ban will come into effect in March 2027, the Government confirms
A social media ban will not keep children safe but it would encourage the Government to assert more control over how we use the internet.
It would introduce digital ID by the backdoor, infringing on all of our rights & freedoms.

In April 2019, Palantir UK boss Louis Mosley met with Antonia Romeo.
Romeo introduced Mosley to David Prior, then chair of NHS England. By July, Palantir was added to the government’s list of approved cloud technology suppliers.
Romeo is now Andy Burnham’s Cabinet Secretary.
AOC: AI systems want us to be dependent and outsource our cognition to a machine, and they want us to increasingly rely on AI systems so that they can sell intelligence back to us.
AI needs two things. It needs capital-intensive resources. But it also needs an uneducated population that cannot think, that is not educated, that relies on it so that they can sell cognition back to us.

Thanks for the warm words in support of all those who have dared to protest the ethnic cleansing in Palestine @Ed_Miliband.
Perhaps you could add meaning to the warmth by reversing the proscription of Palestine Action and letting these pensioners hold up their signs in peace?
