🚨 BREAKING - Road occupied at Strand outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

Over 1,000 people are sat in the street holding a time-limited Exhibition in solidarity with the ‘Lord’ Walney 16.

The People will not be deterred by extreme sentences of peaceful protestors. 🧵

Nearly a thousand of the firefighters deployed to help contain the devastating fires are incarcerated. They have been working around the clock while earning as little as between $5.80 to $10.24 a day.

Potential charges that could arise from Grenfell include corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office. Let's see it happen.

The freezing weather is a stark reminder of why the government’s decision to means-test Winter Fuel Payments was cruel & wrong — & why I voted against it in September.

Every winter, elderly people die because they can’t afford to stay warm.

Universal provision saves lives.

1 in 4 of the firefighters surveyed reported life changing diseases and health disorders.

We need health monitoring for firefighters now. 🧵

Privatisation is a catastrophic failure.

In fact, it's blatant daylight robbery.

Today, Israel bombed Gaza and Lebanon. It also bombed Syria and Yemen. Unbelievable violation of the Vienna convention and Palestine and Lebanon and Syria and Yemen sovereignty.

Only Israel can bomb all these countries without any consequences under international law.

There have been 100s of Extinction Rebellion & Just Stop Oil protests around the country over last 4+ yrs. Despite the many newspaper claims, scores of FoI requests have failed to uncover a single single ambulance service that logged serious delays to its ambulances during any of the protests.

Beit Lahia is forced to leave today, is ethnically cleansed, last city in north Gaza.
Keep in mind that these people tried to remain and hoped the world would stop the horror. But no more.
Please share my campaign.

The British, who invented genocides and concentration camps (first one by Lord Kitchener in South Africa) are not convinced that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.

Israel continues to burn Palestinians alive. They bombedMawasi in Khan Younis (the supposedly safe zone) last night and killed 20 people in their tents. Yes you heard it right, they burned in their tents. This is just so inhumane. 2.3 million people trapped in a tiny place being slaughtered everyday

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise.

To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists:

We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.

83% of plant life in Gaza has been destroyed.

Israel's genocide is making Gaza uninhabitable - and our media outlets are complicit by suppressing the truth.

Two reports detail the hideous consequences of Israel's Western-facilitated genocide. And yet the Western media bury or ignore them altogether.

So that's now two (at least) big Labour figures - Tom Watson and Peter Mandelson - taking money from Palantir to help it sink its teeth further into the NHS.
