Adverts from Hilton hotel group, Travelodge, Booking. com and Accor banned for misleading minimum prices for rooms.

It is that "from" price which you rarely get.

All part of the plan to entrap customers, boost profits, exec pay.

Execs not fined for misleading ads. So it goes on

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?

Yorkshire Building Society appear to have shut down the account of a couple – he's a former barrister – for being pro-Palestine activists.

YBS urgently need to explain themselves. If they don't, they must feel the power of a consumer boycott.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

This follows the wholly disproportionate and deeply troubling decision to designate Palestine Action - a group that posed no risk to the public - as terrorists.

I voted against that decision in Parliament and again call on the Government to immediately overturn it.

Instead of vital police resources being used to keep communities safe, we have the absurd situation where they're being wasted on arresting peaceful protesters: people simply holding signs and exercising their democratic rights to oppose genocide.
