UK military aid, arms, intelligence and decisions by government ministers have enabled Israel’s genocide in Gaza. That’s why I’m proud to co-sponsor @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social’s bill for a full, independent public inquiry, like the one for the Iraq War. Truth matters. So does accountability.

Hmm... I wonder if this might have something to do with the Government's evident willingness to take instructions from private sector lobbyists for everything from the City to volume housebuilders to the fossil fuel sector to the defence industry. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

David Mencer is a war criminal. Tell me I'm wrong.

I don’t distinguish between Tories, Labour or Reform any more. I think it’s healthier that way. Basically, nothing really changes because these parties are just a front for those who are really in charge.

I wonder when the new caring DWP starts? The one that Alison McGovern promised wouldn’t be forcing people into unsuitable jobs 🤔

Israeli government ministers and officials told us exactly what they intended to do in #Gaza, then went ahead and did it. There will be no justice until they are brought before the ICC to face charges of genocide.

What did we do to deserve this government? It promised change, and many people voted on that basis, in good faith. But the change is from bad to worse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We need to make the Labour Government more scared of losing votes and seats to the Green Party than to Reform. I'm in this week's @bigissue.com talking about how we can make this happen. 1/2

So where is the money going? A comparison of doctors' pay by nation indicates it isn't going on them. It must be going somewhere; and I'd suggest it is going to pay private health and drug companies' shareholder returns. Our NHS should not be a cash cow for global capital and hedge-funds.

We're being told Russia will invade unless we spend billions more on weapons. They want us to be in a permanent state of fear while the defence industry extracts billions & in a few years Healey will be sitting on the board of a defence company while the rest of us sit in poverty

At least a quarter of children are in poverty in two-thirds of areas across the UK. Yet govts still obsessed with austerity, real wage cuts, benefit cuts Will children recover from physical, mental harms inflicted by political choices? End poverty. Redistribute. Save the future.

Robert Jenrick once thought Brexit would "lead us to dystopia". He rebuked Suella Braverman for her extreme language. Now the soon-to-be Tory leader uses more extreme language than Nigel Farage. My new column on a dangerous opportunist 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Defence spending is an awful way to spend. It has little economic multiplier affects as claimed by Starmer. Once again he lies. It doesnt boost economy at all Best economic multiplier is NHS spending, schools, benefits system etc Labour are economic and political imbecile’s and morally repugnant

Keir Starmer can find billions for weapons factories, drones and a submarine but not for disability benefits or the two child limit. One more time for those at the back: Poverty Is A Political Choice.

How many people in the UK have died due to war in the last few decades? None. How many people in the UK have died due to austerity in the last few decades? Well over 350,000. We need to invest in public services, not war. Repost if you agree.

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down — for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments. I know whose side I’m on. Can they say the same?
