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.
