An invasion of Rafah will complete the total destruction of Gaza, rendering it uninhabitable.

It means mass slaughter through violence.

It will stop aid getting in, and along with mass displacement to other destroyed areas, meaning humanitarian calamity.

A genocidal act.

Labour Party? Pull the other one…. taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/05/0… It's Workers Day, and so news has leaked that Labour is planning to backtrack on its plans to reinforce worker's rights. Labour's aim is to appease the business community. This really is now a Labour Party In Name Only

New The Michael Marmot Institute of Health Equity UCL report 6/9 English regions showed increases in inequalities in life expectancy for women (NE, NW, Yorkshire & Humber, East of England, E Midlands, SW) @UCL bit.ly/LEGAP

I'm interested that the q. of safety for Jews in London has been raised. People from Jewish organisations have eg interrupted one of my talks for children with political heckling, talked on soc media about our family home and in threatening terms about seeing me on the street.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Labour Party has been taken over by a group of people, 'Blue Labour', who are, in essence, Tories. We need a Labour Government after the next election but without the worst of these people in control.

📺This morning, ASH Chief Executive Deborah Arnott gave evidence to the Committee for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

'The evidence is clear - if you take the foot off the pedal, smoking rates don't continue to fall.'

We must do better under Labour but probably won't with Reeves and Starmer at the helm. The next election needs a Labour majority with them replaced by 'True Labour not Blue Labour' leadership.

Just like finding white South Africans who supported apartheid is virtually impossible now! Funny how the system survived election after election, massacre after massacre!

Tax does not pay for government spending youtu.be/xnYhGD7xNig?si… Probably the biggest challenge to understanding how the economics of governments really works comes from the need to understand that governments of the sort we have in the UK are not funded by taxes. They are

Watching government spokespeople on the news, if anyone should be worried about Chat GPT taking their jobs it must be them. In fact a ZX81 would give more human-like responses.

BREAKING: Independent UN Investigation led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna concludes Israel provided NO evidence to substantiate their claims against UNRWA.

Big lies that led counties like the US & UK to withdraw funding of the only humanitarian organisation

The brutal truth is that - if the Western media and politicians saw Palestinians as fellow human beings with lives of any worth at all - this obscenity would have been stopped a very long time ago.

War, fear of war spur global military spending to new record: New high of $2.4 trillion is the ninth straight annual increase, suggesting the trend will continue, research institute says. SIPRI report aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/22…

I hope we never forget this depravity. And I hope we never forget that when we had the opportunity to speak out against this depravity, we did not hide behind “objectivity” and our privileged positions in the world.

The decision by this far-right government to insist there is no difference between Israel & Jews around the world, to insist Judaism & Zionism are one & the same, is not just dishonest, but so dangerous for Jews around the world & it undermines the struggle against antisemitism.

Watch this Keir Starmer for Prime Minister - you won't, will you youtu.be/t4mU4uaKU0c?si… via YouTube

Starmer is quite obviously a Tory. We need the Tories out; therefore we need Starmer and his gang out. In their seats can choose MPs who are decent, honest people who will do politics differently. #Starmerout

If you want to know why Keir Starmer for Prime Minister stands shoulder to shoulder with a far-right government committing mass slaughter and illegal occupation, this might provide a clue #Starmerout electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
