12 more prisoners released in error:
www.bbc.com/news/article... how can Lammy defend this? It's like blaming a late-running bus because it's not solar-powered. Surely the first thing u check before releasing a prisoner is "should we be actually be allowing this person to leave prison"? #UKprisons

More than 60,000 Palestinian people have been killed by the Israeli government.
Meanwhile, our government refuses to recognise Netanyahu's genocidal plans and continues to arm and train his regime.
Shame on them.
