I've been deeply concerned about some of the misinformation around asylum seekers in Perth. The graphics below address some of the myths that are presented when issues are raised. We must have the debate rooted in facts and basic decency.

BREAKING: A UN inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

All eyes are now on the UK Government who must stop indulging in genocide denial.

It must fulfil its legal and moral responsibility by taking immediate, decisive steps to prevent and punish genocide.

Wes Streeting has called it “laughable” that rising racism and homophobia is a sign of free speech in a strongly worded intervention suggesting Labour needed to step up its defence of minorities

It is disproportionate to the point of absurdity to treat people sitting peacefully in a group holding signs as ‘terrorists’.

People are outraged by the genocide in Gaza and are entitled to express their horror.

I really miss Tony Benn. I’ve seen this speech so many times and it is as true today as it was then.

Chillingly, moments after the AD vote, the private company dubbed the “Tesla of euthanasia” (selling death by gassing), commented on exploiting the UK market:

Only 30% of pall care is NHS funded.

Given today's vote, will Keir Starmer at least commit to dramatically increasing palliative care provision so that patients don't "choose" to end their lives because we, society, fail to give them the care that might make life worth living?

Decided to catch the train to Oxford from Banbury as it's quicker than driving. Train back cancelled, next train in an hour. Only had 4 carriages (9 going in). 1 was 1st class so reality was only 3 carriages available, needless to say we couldn't get on so had to wait an hour for the next train

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.

“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”

This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

Grateful to be interviewed for this deep dive by the BBC's Nick Triggle into the threadbare state of NHS palliative care services.

4 in 10 hospitals don't even have a 7-day palliative care service.

This is a travesty, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social. (1/2)

Military supplies from the US are flowing in vast quantities to Israel. Humanitarian supplies from Israel to Gaza have stopped completely. Utterly incomprehensible. The original ceasefire plan should be followed.

40 000 Palestinians in Jenin in the Occupied West Bank have been made homeless by Israel’s forced evacuation policy. We are enduring sub zero temperatures here, so how are these people supposed to find shelter and warmth? Have I missed the world’s condemnation and action on this?

While all the attention is on Gaza and the disaster further developing there, Israeli settlers are pushing hard preparing for Israel’s annexation of the occupied West Bank. No one can be bothered to oppose it. All part of the Trump effect.
