Last night in Nasser Hospital, Gaza: 3 dead on arrival. One small girl with a head injury died after admission. Another small girl with 25 holes in her bowel. A young woman paralysed from the waist down. This is what an Israeli ceasefire looks like

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.
