#R4Today was reporting that the 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' has immediately shut down 🤔
Is this because the GHF 'staff' are scuttling back to America to avoid murder charges?
If the intentions of the GHF were as previously stated, they'd be staying in Gaza
Israel is a pariah state. US complicit

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

The Green Party is polling higher than ever before. Our membership is growing rapidly.
And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.

One of our team was arrested yesterday for allegedly breaching protest restrictions, even though they weren't protesting – because wearing a keffiyeh while walking down the street is "reasonable suspicion".

This is the result of Starmer's crackdown: we're back in time to Nov 2023 under the Tories

Water bills for England households to rise even higher.

Bills already up by 36%. Competition regulator permits another 1%-5%, £556m hike

No curbs on exec pay, dividends, sewage dumping as companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the Scam. Nationalise water

Five water firms provisionally allowed to raise bills by further 1% to 5%

An independent group appointed by the competition watchdog rejected nearly 80% of increases sought by companies.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.
