Israelis protesting outside the foreign office in London in support of steps that the UK has taken against Israel over the Gaza war and calling for more. Chanting: “Starmer, Lammy pick a side: human rights or genocide” , “war planes, no! Sanctions, yes!”, “Israelis say: stop the genocide today”

NEW: After an 86-day blockade of food into Gaza, starving residents are pictured being herded like livestock & surrounded by fencing and barbed wire as they await food parcels. This photo was posted in the last hour by Gaza-based journalist Motasem A Dalloul.

Guys… @tomcfinn.bsky.social wrote ANOTHER book!!! 😱😱

Who is actually in power? Keir Starmer or the unelected Morgan McSweeney?

Given how unpopular Starmer is this is quite a reflection on Farage and Badenoch.

The Right has permanently exposed itself on Lucy Connolly. If 2000 Muslims had tried to burn down churches and attack white people last summer... And a brown woman tweeted support for it. They'd ALL call her a terrorist. They never cared about national security, just bigotry.

The two child benefit cap imposes poverty on hundreds of thousands of children - a hideous social crime. Discussing that on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine Show from 9.15am

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

Just a friendly reminder - those of us who put out content are human beings, not just images on a screen. Nasty comments don’t just bounce off the glass, they reach us…and they can hurt. As the saying goes: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” 🤷‍♀️

Part one of Doctor Who's season finale sets up an earth-shattering final showdown, but does it stand on its own two feet? Here's Ellie with our review of Wish World! ✨ Watch here: youtu.be/RgqYY72SwWg #DoctorWho #WishWorld

Finally started watching the new Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa is absolutely brilliant!

Turns out Jim Ratcliffe is as good at owning football clubs as he was at understading Brexit.

The Israeli govt says: “There is no hunger in Gaza” UN tells us 14,000 babies at risk of death from malnourishment Can our press now stop quoting the Israeli Govt’s line as anything but naked lies and propaganda?

Can anyone please answer me this? Why would a Govt that has nothing to hide ban foreign press from entering Gaza? What could possibly be the reason?

While I welcome the action from the UK government… It will never been forgotten that it took this many deaths and atrocities, and a UN warning that 14,000 babies are at risk of starving to death for them to take a stand Utterly shameful.

I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap — and lost the Labour whip. I voted against cuts to winter fuel payments. And I’ll vote against any cuts to disability benefits. I didn’t enter politics to toe the line. I’m here to fight for the working class.

Last week I visited Canley Food Hub, where the impact of the cost-of-living crisis is all too clear. Grateful to the team for their vital support — but in a country as wealthy as ours, no-one should be left struggling to put food on the table.

The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population — 34 million people. Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused “incalculable damage” to our society. This is a lie. It’s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet — not migrants.

14,000 babies could die in 48 hours without aid. That’s the warning from the UN. This is genocide in real time and Keir Starmer's government is complicit. Still arming Israel and running surveillance flights. No sanctions or expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador. Shame on them.

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

Says it all. #Brexit

Late but laudable.

GB News, "If Net Zero is so blessed, why does the UK have the most expensive energy?" Dr Rupert Read, "GB News won't tell you the truth because you're owned by Paul Marshall who is a fossil fuel magnet"

Is there anyone morally bankrupt enough to still claim this is self-defence?

The right wing papers do not reflect what most people think. But they have far too much influence on the Labour government. The truth: Brexit failed.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union. The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled. If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

I signed this petition to tell Barclays to cut ties with JBS — one of the world’s worst offenders for animal suffering and environmental destruction. If you can please sign 🙏🏻 action.worldanimalprotection.org.uk/tell-barclay...

Lady in yellow, "What about the economic damage of Brexit?" #BBCQT Sonia Sodha, "The last thing you do as a country is to put up massive trade barriers with your closest trading partners, Brexit was absolutely nuts" "It's one of the reasons why we are poorer at the moment"

Former M&S Chairman Lord Rose, "Here we are, 10 years on now from Brexit" "The issues of immigration are caused by Brexit" "The issues of our poor economic performance ate down to Brexit"

Yep

The deliberate starvation and mass punishment of the people of Gaza is a war crime for which Israel’s leaders should stand trial in the Hague. And Gary Lineker sharing a post which equates Israelis to rats is contemptible and disgraceful. You don’t have to choose a side.
