</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Since the Gaza ceasefire was signed last month, <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a> has continued to violate the agreement.</p>
<p>From air strikes and shootings to arrests and incursions beyond the deployment lines, most of the violations appear unprovoked.</p>
<p>Israel has cited alleged breaches by Hamas and other <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> groups to justify its actions.</p>
<p>Hamas, however, has denied the accusations, insisting it has fully complied with the terms of the ceasefire.</p>
<p>Many of the violations targeting civilians, meanwhile, have occurred without justification.</p>

Almost 100% of children in 73 neighbourhoods in England are living in income-deprived families.
Govts push real wage/benefit cuts, two-child benefit cap; oppose universal basic income; don't curb profiteering.
No govt targets to cut poverty.

Companies that donated to Labour awarded £138m in contracts.
Corporations/Rich don't donate, they bribe. Buy access to policymakers, favourable laws, lax regulation, govt contracts. Low/Middle earners cannot compete.
Political donations must be criminalized. No second jobs for MPs.

For those who care (i.e. not the mainstream political pundits!) if we correct the bias introduced by the massive 2014 No-voter upweight in that Survation poll, it boosts support for pro-indy parties by 2 points - equivalent to a 4 point swing. It reduces RUK (-0.8) Con (-0.7) & LD (-0.5).

It seems remarkable, yet true, that so many people in Scotland are apparently still ignorant of the huge stripping of Scottish devolved powers by Westminster's Powergrab in 2018. Where have you *been*?
