Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.
They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.
Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs.
What a scandal.

It was the political response to this I find so shocking. Nearly every party claimed the decision and anyone supporting it was anti-semtic.

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

The two child benefit cap is the biggest single driver of child poverty.
It imposes hardship on kids, ignores changing family circumstances - and as the research shows, has no impact on family size.
Labour were forced to drop it - because people fought for it.

Once rights are lost, they are not easy to win back. We must resist this with all we’ve got.

UK politics live – latest updates
Criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury in order to increase the chances of proceedings collapsing, the courts minister has said, promising to enact radical changes to limit jury trials by the next election.
Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman told the Guardian, saying inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Continue reading...

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.
Today, the government admitted it had been keeping thousands of children in poverty for no reason whatsoever.
Next, tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off!

Sure, but the government was forced into this because their programme is so disastrously unpopular, even their party’s most timid and compliant MPs felt they had to draw a line somewhere. The lesson taken from all this is going to be: better things are not possible, it’s the glue farm for the poor.
