If genocide in Israel appears to have dropped off the radar, that's deliberate; it has more to do with Editorial decisions than supposed 'ceasefires' - Israeli aircraft carried out raids on Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza just this morning.

King Charles has had close friendships/mentorships with Laurens Van der Post, Jimmy Savile, Bishop Peter Ball; & was very close to uncle Louis Mountbatten. All were paedophiles. To befriend 1 paedophile is unfortunate, to know 4 or 5 looks ... darker.

This illustrates the horror we cause quite well; sometimes even the irony can't hide. Truth is, world 'leaders' have been using personal jets to fly to 'climate summits' for decades and neither they, the media or we seem to care at all.

David Lammy seriously attacking Robert Jenrick over the state the Tories left the prison & court systems.
Everything was failure & outrageously the Shadow Justice Secretary tried to claim these problems started just 14 months ago.

Last week, Children's Commissioner Rachel Da Souza released a report on child poverty in England. There were a few stories in the press, but I've yet to see a deep dive from any of the 'news' organisations supposedly holding government to account. 🧵

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵
