Multiply the tax by whatever factor they are more polluting than cars. That’s only fair. But better to ban them altogether. That’s even fairer for the environment.

And we should have learned by now that when you think an option can’t be worse, it surely can and then some. Starver is paving the way for Deform, I can’t think why else he’s making the choices he is. Why?
Labour is turning Britain into an authoritarian state.
That’s bad enough now.
But imagine what a Nigel Farage government will build on all these authoritarian foundations.

"The 'ceasefire' is a diplomatic sham – a cover for the continuing extermination, displacement and erasure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and a distraction for the international public and the media."

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

Don’t ever get used to hearing these accounts. This is not normal. There is no excuse for this. There is no excuse for the inaction from our world leaders. Words and condemnation have never been enough because these people - terrorists - are way beyond that, way beyond any appeal for morality.
Orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter, who recently worked in Gaza, has shared a harrowing eyewitness account, that Israeli occupation soldiers buried two Palestinian children alive in a mass grave in the Nasser medical complex.

So should we feel sorry for the Israeli Occupation ‘soldiers’, in anticipation of them eventually discovering their sense of morality and thus being condemned to a lifetime of guilt, remorse and suicidal thoughts, all wrapped up in PTSD?
I’d find that hard.

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.
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." 🧵
