Israel's deliberate starvation of Gaza is a war crime.

Today I told the Government that if it now refuses to fund UNRWA, it will be aiding and abetting Israel's war crimes.

Israel defending itself against children

I bet this will be brilliant!

Dr Dan Poulter has finally made the right choice.
But he’s been wrong for years - I would not be taking any advice from him!

Today is International Workers’ Memorial Day, when we remember all those killed or injured at work.

As we remember the dead, we re-affirm our commitment to fight like hell for the living.

Dan Poulter was an ex junior dr of mine and literally brought in every policy that has destroyed the NHS

He is joining the Labour Party so that post election he can be a medical advisor to the next Labour government.

To be very clear here:

If someone has their hands tied behind their backs, regardless of whether they were a combatant or not, they are classed as “hors de combat”.

Under the Geneva Convention, they are non-combatants and protected people, and it’s a war crime to kill them

Employers stealing the tips of hospitality workers is a disgrace and should be stopped. Even this GOV.UK knows that – which is why they keep promising to fix it. But this latest delay following a long line of broken promises from #Westminster shows that they don’t really care.

Mhairi Black says the mass graves uncovered in Ukraine were rightly condemned as Russian war crimes, and asks aren't the mass graves uncovered in Gaza a war crime too?

You don’t need to be a conspiracy theorist to work it out

“The issue is not that Starmer is interested in attracting Tory voters, it’s that he often appears uninterested in keeping Labour ones. Indeed, at times, the party seems actively keen to lose them.”

Pensions are affordable.
The NHS is affordable.
The Post Office is affordable.
Schools are affordable.
