The final nail in the coffin of genocide denial: UN Commission of Inquiry concludes on reasonable grounds that Israel have committed and is continuing to commit the following actus reus of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip

Read this. It's remarkable. The UN is begging - literally begging - Israel to allow it to deliver to Gaza 160,000 pallets of food aid it has ready to go. Israel will not allow that. There is only one inescapable conclusion: Israel is deliberately starving Gaza to death.

Absolutely horrific reports of Flour Massacre in Gaza. Israeli forces targeting people desperately waiting for food for their emaciated families. @LeoVaradkar @EamonRyan @MichealMartinTD please keep pressure at EU & we must do more to help end #GazaGenocide & ensure #CeasefireNOW

The truth is that Ireland’s housing crisis has not been caused by an increase in numbers of immigrants or refugees, but by 30 years of policies that have left delivery to the property market while decimating social housing. My piece in @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Widespread destruction in Gaza puts concept of ‘domicide’ in focus. theguardian.com/world/2023/dec…

Are you a tenant renting from a professional large-scale landlord such as IRES, Urbeo, Kennedy Wilson? The excellent Juliana Sassi is researching the experience of tenants renting from corporate landlords. Contact her directly:

Doctors Without Borders @MSF has described a catastrophic situation at the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, with Israeli defence forces now less than one kilometre away, according to the latest reports.

I don’t usually post personal stuff, but this place is my street, here was my safe home, my neighborhood, my lovely neighbors, my memories and big dreams buried under the rubble

The judgment of Lord Harrower in the judicial review of the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) emergency measures has just been published. The headline news is the coalition representing landlords has not been successful in challenging the legislation. scotcourts.gov.uk/docs/default-s…

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate. 1/5

We are horrified by the recent Israeli bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. It is absolutely unacceptable...

"The situation you can never describe. It's never been like this. I witnessed the 4 wars in Gaza before. This is the most intense & horrible one… The collateral damage is only on civilians. Now when you go to the hospitals…what you will see is children." x.com/Channel4News/s…

I'm so pleased that our Renter Manifesto has been launched today, with @genrentuk @ACORNunion @LDNRentersUnion @gmtenantsunion and @NEF coming together to call for political parties to fix the housing crisis and our broken private renting system. rentermanifesto.org/read_the_manif…

Sadly, couldn't take up an invite to talk at this, but it looks really worthwhile.

@HarryAnnison @unisouthampton @PublicPolicyUoS Cheers Harry!
