The UK has supplied Israel with F-35 components—evidence suggests they’ve been used in violations of international law. I asked the Foreign Sec if he’d explicitly asked the Israeli govt whether UK arms were used in recent airstrikes that broke the ceasefire and caused immense civilian suffering.

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.

Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.

These political choices are cruel.

This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

Great read. Drawing from the brilliant Trevarthen & Malloch ‘Communicative musicality’ which has been at the heart of my own music making practice with students with complex needs for 15 years since their book came out!
