@Mark411982 @JohnSimpsonNews @TransparencyUK what a bizarre comment. not in the slightest, this comment shows that you don’t understand how the index works at all.

@FirebirdFather @JohnSimpsonNews @TransparencyUK no, NZ has been performing extremely well in this index for many years in a row

This must be a turning point.

The International Court of Justice has ruled against Israel, ordering it to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.

Our government must heed this judgement, ending arms sales to Israel and demanding an immediate ceasefire.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

In a just world, anyone who supports this massacre would be driven out of public life and treated as disgraced amoral pariahs.

In the world we live in, those who oppose this massacre are being demonised as hateful dangerous extremists

🇵🇸 #Gaza: This statement by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s daughter, Maria Guardiola has put a lot of politicians, celebrities, journalists and others with a platform to shame:

‘My God.

So is this really what we're going to do now? Just sit back and watch a genocide happen on the telly? Then decades from now, when it's in the history books, all look round at each other and ask, 'how did that happen?'

For the first time, I truly understand how mass atrocities have been able to occur throughout history - again, and again, and again. We never learn.

What does the death count need to be before someone finally speaks against this madness and urges restraint, not more arms? 10,000? 100,000?

A million? More? When have enough Palestinians died?

I get that lots of us are scared to speak up. I get we're afraid to say the "wrong thing. But I won't sit by in silence and live with the fact that I never spoke up when an atrocity on this scale was committed because of fear. We can express our complete condemnation for what the Israeli govt are doing and also assert our unwavering belief in the equal value of Palestinian lives, without inciting hatred against Jewish communities - another persecuted people. Indeed, many Jewish and Israeli people, in the midst of their deep grief and knowing the pain of persecution too well, have had the bravery and strength to be the very first to do so.

This is quite simple. We are watching an occupied, oppressed people face annihilation by a nuclear state with the full backing of the western world. This is not - and has never been - an 'equal fight'. Right now, it is a massacre on a scale I don't think I've ever seen in my life.

6,000 bombs dropped in 6 days already. On a strip of land just 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide at its widest point. Whole neighbourhoods flattened. Families wiped out. Hospitals collapsing under the weight of the casualties. On a population of 2 million - half of them children. 70% of them refugees. And now, the forced movement of 1 million people. A choice of forced migration or death is ethnic cleansing. The fact that it is impossible for that many to leave in that time means that this is now a genocide.

We have gone way, way beyond wishy washy 'praying for peace', 'all life is precious' IG statements, posted to show you've done your bit of performative activism. Show you mean it. If you have any kind of platform right now, please use it. Speak. Because it's becoming glaringly obvious that the world is happy to walk into an unspeakable horror that we didn't even bother to try to prevent.’

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

About to go on @LBC to talk about yet another mass migrant drowning.
The relentless horror of these stories must never allow us to normalise them, or to stop feeling the rage & sorrow at every death. This isn't normal. It is not OK that we live with this. https://t.co/WtWSgjUfZ7

abolish the monarchy. seize their property and wealth for the people. turn the palaces into social housing. that man is not my king, and he’s not yours either.

I am appalled to hear that the Rwanda scheme has been ruled lawful.

The plan to deport refugees to a country they have never known remains profoundly immoral.

History remembers those who stand up for humanity. That will include those who resist this heinous act of cruelty.

the UN just held a vote on ending the US embargo on Cuba, which has killed countless over many decades and violates every international norm. Every country voted in favor except the United States and Israel, and two countries abstained: Bolsonaro's Brazil and Zelensky's Ukraine

In coronating Rishi Sunak, Tory MPs have decided that a former hedge fund manager is a safe pair of hands.

The question is: for who?

The new Prime Minister will look after the interests of the 1%. The 99% will pay for their protection.

[Lee Hurley @WeeMelter]

Monarchists just taking another monument for themselves without a thought for anyone else. They couldnt make a more apt representation of Empire if they tried.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

The British monarch is still head of state in Australia, almost 250 years after colonization.

Britain carried out hundreds of massacres and violent land grabs against Indigenous people.

Today, 30% of Indigenous Australians are in poverty, with vast inequality in health/housing.

Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 74% of the new cabinet are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society. We'll hear a lot about diversity over the coming few days but diversity which doesn't account for social class is meaningless
