“When the attacks on the 7th happened, I kind of took the side of Israel at that time. Only after the attacks, I started doing more research into it and now I know, that this is a colonial state and what they actually do to Palestine people,” a protestor in London tells MEE

And the cost to maintain universal Winter Fuel Payments so pensioners don’t freeze to death? £1.4 billion.
Poverty is a political choice.
"Cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance...is a form of austerity. It's a brutal change."
@RMTunion General Secretary Mick Lynch talking to @PoliticsJOE_UK at #LabourConference24
Rachel Reeves doesn't need to cut Winter Fuel Allowance cut benefits or introduce more austerity. There is no £22Bln black whole its a scam Zionist governments use to control people. Keep them poor, keep them slaving away for bread. Government debt is nothing like household debt.
