Over a week ago, Israel cut aid to Gaza. Now, Israel has cut electricity. Over 2 million people are being deliberately and illegally deprived of clean water, food, fuel and power. World leaders must end Israel's collective punishment of Gaza. @Keir_Starmer & @DavidLammy act now.

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

"I used to call them my three flowers..." Hanin shares how she has lost her three daughters in Israel's war on Gaza. Every day she faces the deep scars of a tragedy that speaks through every corner of her home. STOP ARMING ISRAEL. Demand it: bit.ly/Add_YourName

Gloriously infuriating once again. Thanks @book_tokens

Tentatively flying in Bluer Skies...

New polling paints an interesting picture of the public's tax-raising priorities, and a depressing picture of the public's understanding of tax and spending. I have no easy answers, but I do have some rather alarming charts.

At least 55 people have died so far in the deadliest year for people crossing the Channel – we cannot normalise or accept this.  👉Read our CEO’s statement on today’s Channel tragedy:

EXPOSED: Shell is developing an ILLEGAL gas field in UK waters. Their Jackdaw field will produce MORE CO2 than the annual emissions of Ghana. How on earth is this right??

Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 theguardian.com/environment/20…

What has the ECHR ever done for us?

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.

Please read this testimony from ICU Prof ⁦@Kevin_Fong⁩ at the @covidinquiryuk⁩ & know that this - this - is what it was truly like. All those despicable Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers & scamdemic artists have blood on their hands & should hang their sorry heads in shame.

📢SAFE ROUTES, NOT DETERRENTS Instead of considering harsher policies, the Government must listen to those who’ve risked their lives on these journeys: safe routes are the only solution. After years of cruelty, we won't accept more ineffective deterrents. Lives depend on it.

Is it petty of me to keep repeating that this beautiful movie by @Dreamworks is based on my book? The team of artists + animators + designers did an outstanding job + I want people to know that my book was the inspiration! Is that wrong? This is all new for me! #thewildrobot
