Following WHO call that we can no longer be silent I tweeted this in May.

Thousands more innocent people killed since then (inc 17,000 children since Oct 2023) & hostages remain incarcerated.

But still, people with voices & power to make this devastation end remain silent.

My heart breaks 💔

According to multiple sources this afternoon, in Parliament, Liz Kendall will announce ‘concessions’ on the welfare bill.

Do not clap.

These aren’t concessions.

This isn’t compassion.

It’s a PR fudge to mask cuts that will devastate lives.

NEW FROM ME -

Britain is abandoning international medical consensus on disability.

Every other developed nation recognizes cumulative impairment as genuine severity.

We're about to become an anomaly—and the logic of 4+ suggests it was deliberate.
