Went to a march today in Birmingham.
It was:
- peaceful
- inclusive
- welcoming
All sorts of people, black, brown, white. Muslim, Jew, Christian.
At no point did it call for the end of Israel.

if youโre frustrated that we have no choice in our next prime minister and would prefer a general election. Also, why do they forget theyโve been in power 12 years when they vow to solve all problems?!

Oh how over the top. Her situation is terrible for her and her family. She will have the best care available. How many people go through this alone and without the appropriate care because of the corruption at the top of UK politics?
Johnson on a jolly at our expense
Truss-bot and Rishi Rich marketing themselves for another month
All whilst the cost of living crisis already bites and is going to go into overdrive..
We need to

and have a referendum on the EU!

Anyone that even entertains the slight possibility of Johnson as PM again, they need to remember his legacy is that they partied whilst this happened. What a disgrace

If you think:
MPs need to serve us not their own/donor interests
MPs need accountability. Lying is too easy!
We should not subsidise MP lunches or utilities
Letโs continue shouting about whatโs important + fighting for each other

Do you remember what happened to Saka, Rashford and Sancho when they missed penalties in the Euros final? The racist abuse was appalling. English when successful and black when not. Thatโs why they kneel.
Banker bonuses up
Universal credit tightened
Fracking green-lit
The chancellor off his tits at the Queenโs funeral

Nah, we can do much more. Sanctions on Israel and halting arms sales, for one. Calling for an immediate ceasefire and recognising the Palestinian state. Plenty the UK can do.
You don't see this much reported in the UK press
Here's what Israeli leaders have had to say about the value of Palestinian lives
Does this not sound like fascism to you?
When I first moved into my house in September 2020 my energy bills were ยฃ84 per month. At the moment theyโre ยฃ180 and Iโve been told theyโre going to ยฃ300 from next month. How the fuck are people meant to afford this?! Absolute broken country ๐กruined by this scum government

I wonder what makes the Red Cross reluctant to go into Gaza when people helping deliver aid get bombed by a drone in three separate locations?

But we also wouldnโt collectively punish an entire population, killing nearly 30,000. Stop shilling on a subject you clearly no nothing about.

Can people not read? Iโm reacting to Darrenโs over the top waffling.
The situation is extremely sad for her and her family and I obviously wish her well.

Levers that an individual can pull to instil change are surprisingly limited. Writing to MPs and protesting has had limited impact. Look at the speed the UK moved to sanction Russia. Itโs almost like they donโt want to.
Israeli minister in defence and finance minister Smotrich tonight:
โMoments before redemption, we must not hesitate. We must destroy Rafah, Nusseirat, & Dir al-Balah 'wipe out the memory of Amalek! โฆThere's no half- measure. Rafah, Dir al-Balah Nusseirat absolute destruction!โ

You said you didnโt like gotcha stories. But now you tweet this. Which is it? By the way I donโt think politicians should have second jobs but youโve skimmed past a few to get to Phillipsโฆ

I have the utmost sympathy for her and her family and hope she recovers. My issue is with Darrenโs statement that the country is reeling. Most people are worrying about whether they eat or heat ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ

What happens if: the parents split up. There is a bereavement. A redundancy. The Tories crash the economy and your mortgage goes up ยฃ500 per month.
Itโs not that simple, is it, Mike

ยฃ400 subsidised purely by tax payer money, given to ALL households - including people like you who claim expenses on utilities for 2nd homes anyway?! ๐ก

Scandalous. Has anyone set up a petition so that we donโt pay for their failures?
21% increase in tax over two years with service cuts. A disgrace

Hi. I visited your Small Heath store yesterday evening. To say COVID precautions were ignored and flouted is an understatement - this store was awful. There were more than 50% of customers with no masks, but a similar number of staff who did the same. Awful

Or maybe youโve decided to attack his character because everything he wrote was correct and took courage to do so, and it makes you feel uncomfortable because the atrocities in Gaza are now being exposed from within Israel as well as from outside
