About time too, the rest of the world needs to isolate Israel now
France has announced that it will cut diplomatic relations with Israel, citing the deaths of innocent Palestinians in Gaza as the reason for the decision. This drastic move marks a major shift in Middle East diplomacy and could influence how other countries respond amid escalating regional tensions.

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

£26 billion tax rise announced today in Labour's budget

£90 billon, how much tax revenue is lost because of Brexit EVERY Year

The reason taxes are going up and spending is being cut is because we can't afford stuff because of Brexit!

The men braying in the House of Commons when a woman speaks is a very ugly sound. #budget #pmqs

Aside from the content of this chancellors budget, the whole pantomime of the House of Commons is increasingly hard to stomach.

Tradition is one thing, but what the fuck does the braying and jeering achieve - irrespective of where from, politically?

Stagnant, performative bollocks.

The House of Commons is a cesspit. Stop the braying and just listen its awful. Other parliaments aren't like this. Grow up

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Unless it's purely transactional (equipment, medicines etc) profit and health care services shouldn't mix.
The government admits profiteering is rife in children’s care and social care, yet it still wants private finance back in the NHS. This is an ideology where a few will profit while everyone else pays.

Britain is one of the world’s richest countries. Why do a third of children live in poverty?

It is a political choice - years of austerity, real wage cuts, regressive taxation, unchecked profiteering, disappearance of social housing, hijacking of govts by corporations/rich.
