So @SkyNews relegates the Green victory to third item and we’re still waiting to talk to anyone from the Green Party. What on earth could be their reason for this?

What has become of Channel 4’s Countdown? @susie_dent just describe “plotzing” as American English! So we’re plotzing here because this is the most Yiddish of Yiddish words.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.
It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

📣TOMORROW📣
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson will be in the toon tomorrow with Nick Tenconi and his UKIP pals.
They seek to divide us and turn us against each other. But we won’t let them. Let’s turn out in force and show them who we are in the North East!

This week I finally slayed the final boss off hand-knitting. This thing – which has 659,016 stitches (no mistakes) - has taken me three years to knit, through conferences, faculty and trade union meetings, and the rest. It has moved house with me five times, from Kansas City MO,

Apparently @Keir_Starmer is planning to rebrand the Labour Party as ‘Not Your Party’

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.
What about those who are suffering here and now?
We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

@BethRigby At least the British Parliament is consistent in always prioritising death over life.

healthworkers without protective clothing; disabled people forced into signing DNRs. And this govt continues to sacrifice healthcare on the altar of private profit while cutting vital support

Thank you @ApsanaBegumMP. If the state had a record of protecting the right to life we could have a proper discussion about this far-reaching question. Instead, during the pandemic we saw the deliberate destruction of life: careworkers forced to carry Covid-19 into care homes;

Some details about Amsterdam violence emerging from Dutch media: local police and authorities considered calling off the Ajax v Maccabi Tel Aviv match because of violence the night before; ten Israelis were arrested nos.nl/artikel/254417…

What troubles me most about @kimleadbeater’s bill is that it places a legal obligation on the Secretary of State to ensure that assisted dying is available to patients for whom he’s under no such duty to provide adequate palliative care. 🧵 bills.parliament.uk/bills/3774/pub…

@Keir_Starmer As long as they're not third, fourth and later children, who, apparently don't count as "our children" and therefore, for some reason cooked up by you and Rachel Reeves, do not deserve to have the "security and stability" based on being fed, housed and cared for.

I want our country, and our children, to have the security and stability they deserve for generations to come.

Zionists coming to a university to racially abuse Jewish students in the name of Jewish Student Safety™️
Shabbir Lakha@ShabbirLakha
“You’re not a Jew” Disgustingly, this is what Zionist protesters were shouting at members of the SOAS Jewish Society that organised the pro-Palestine mobilisation today. The so-called ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’ unsurprisingly being horrifically antisemitic.

There is nothing safe about the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, but a fundamental misunderstanding of its impact on medicine. We have got to fix palliative care first and foremost, yet this Bill draws more resources away from providing care. I will vote against.

🧵🚨1/ This is nuts. After mysteriously deleting a package covering the Amsterdam protests, Sky News have put up a new version. The new version completely changes the thrust to emphasise that the violence was antisemitic. See the opening screenshot change below

This is a massive media scandal.
@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.
It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.
They then deleted it. This is the original.
