General Mike Jackson, once Britain's most senior soldier and who gave evidence to the Saville inquiry in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday, has died aged 80 rte.ie/news/uk/2024/1…

The situation in Northern Gaza is dire with the UN reporting that barely any food has entered in the last two weeks. The UK has consistently made clear that Israel must do more to get aid into Gaza and comply with international humanitarian law. We need an immediate ceasefire, much more aid in and hostages out. My statement: gov.uk/government/new…

@AlanRMacLeod "Don't Mention the Children" A poem by Michael Rosen, read by Alexei Sayle Don’t mention the children. Don’t name the dead children. The people must not know the names of the dead children. Don’t say: "dead children".

Today the Great British Energy Bill passed its Committee stage and now returns to the Commons. We are a step closer to delivering a publicly owned energy company. My thanks to everyone involved in this process - Bill Committee MPs, clerks, witnesses and civil servants.





🔴WEIGHT LOSS JABS Instead of paying hundreds of pounds a month for weight loss drugs, why not pay unemployed enough to buy HEALTHY food? Processed food manufacturers rake it in by selling crap laden with sugar, salt, fat & then big pharma cleans up with weight loss drugs. - @David__Osland

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "As we speak tonight.. Israel has hit a school, a hospital, a food distribution centre, its fired on UN troops, and is said to be considering starving northern Gaza.. Should there be any red lines for Britain's political support of Israel?" Emily Thornberry, "Israel has the right to defend itself.. Within the confines of international law.. And proportionate.. All civilian life is equal" KGM, "That policy isn't working... Is there anything Israel can do which would mean Britain's political and diplomatic support for Israel should be withdrawn?" ET, "The question I think should be asked, how do we get this to stop.. I'm not interested in gestures.. I want invasion of Lebanon to stop.. A ceasefire in Gaza.. Not cutting off the top third of Gaza which looks like Israel general plans are" KGM, "Do you agree that would be a war crime if northern Gaza is starved?" ET, "It is a war crime to forcibly move a population from one part of a country to another.. It is a war crime to starve people.. Any war crimes should go before the courts.. There are war crimes on both sides.. By Hamas.. By Iran" "The European Union has been right to condemn Israel attacking UN in Lebanon" Disappointing @EmilyThornberry you were able to say Iran and Hamas commit war crimes but were unable to say Israel has as well - From your body language it's obvious what you think, but you can't say it. It's almost as if you're a hostage unable to speak your mind, when you're actually the chair of our Foreign Affairs Committee, but can't express yourself - sad for us as a country and sad for the people of Gaza and Lebanon who continue to suffer
