MPs have just debated two massively important issues. But the mainstream media is nowhere.
So here are a few key interventions from the event – one specifically from John McDonnell over an arms ban on Israel and Palestine Action that everyone needs to watch.

The corporate media IGNORES dozens of MPs debating an arms ban on Israel
John McDonnell, Jeremy Corbyn, and others both spoke passionately about Gaza, Palestine Action, an arms ban, and more during the debate

It’s time for Britain to confront the legacies of slavery and colonialism.
Reparations are about truth. They are about justice. That means building a more equal future by learning from the past.

This weekend, we marched once again in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
We sent a message to our government: if you knowingly supply weapons to a government whose leader is wanted for war crimes, the long arm of international law will extend to you too.

The Labour Party are victimising benefit recipients.
Low income families, the disabled, elderly, sick and infirm are being presented as scroungers.
This is happening so Starmers party can protect the wealthy from paying more taxes!
Does this sound like something a genuine Labour Party would do?

MPs have launched a review into pensioner poverty after the government admitted the cut to winter fuel payments could force 100,000 people into poverty
Surely this is exactly the sort of review which should have taken place before MP’s were asked to vote?

A right wing paper that has *never* had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind.

Once upon a time the UK had rent control, and minimum prices for milk, eggs etc for farmers.
Then the billionaires took over and decided to let themselves rob us as much as they like.

Ridiculous BBC headline:
"Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing".
Nothing to do with corporate welfare, contracts for cronies, Govt paying higher energy bills, HMRC not collecting £500bn since 2010, Tory legacy.
Just blame workers wanting decent pay.

Apparently Jeremy Corbyn only appealed to a niche and irrelevant group of people, getting 12.8 million votes.
Whereas Keir Starmer appealed to a much wider and more reflective group of people, only getting 9.7 million votes.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.
The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.
Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?
