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.

14,000 babies in Gaza could die in 48 hours if aid doesn’t reach them in time. We are duty-bound to prevent genocide. I am one of 65 parliamentarians calling on the Govt to publish its genocide risk assessment on Gaza. Condemnation of this atrocity isn't enough. www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

I’m confused by Brexiteers; they say they wanted to ‘take back control’ But I have never once heard any of the lead Brexiteers saying ANYTHING about taking back control of: 1. Our newspapers (from Murdoch etc) 2. Our formerly nationalised companies, now owned outside the UK (trains, water etc.)

What would it take for western governments to intervene to ensure people in Gaza get food? Or are our governments just going watch humans starve to death?

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?

I thought I’d have another go at the backlit ferns in the forest I did a few years ago. The new one is 50x50cm a bit smaller than the first one, fun to do but I still prefer the first one.

Is it too much to ask that Labour be a bit more Labour? … and get on with Labour things instead of trying to stop the far right drift through appeasement?

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.
