It has been a month since any aid entered Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel has announced its intention to seize large areas of Palestinian territory.
Our government's response? To continue to allow the supply of arms to Israel.

Austerity is as close to political madness as any policy gets. What it guarantees is that things that could be done are not done, and that is bound to lead to political failure.
