"Dr Hussam Abu Safiya has been in detention since Dec 2024" Is that how you described the Israeli civilians held hostage in Gaza - "in detention"? And why are you referring to "prisoners & detainees". Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, like thousands of other Palestinians held by Israel, is a hostage

#C4News beginning their report on Dr Hussam Abu Safiya yesterday by making it clear he was abducted by Israel.

I have special disdain for the anti inmigrant immigrants.

Isn't it about time the UK began arresting perpetrators of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, obliteration of schools & hospitals, mass child murder instead of arming them ... meme via Yunus Elias

The UK at the UN yesterday "We are horrified by footage of Israeli forces killing a 7mth old baby" Horrified enough to take action, like halting all arms exports, imposing sanctions on the Israeli govt & economy, & ending all military ties? So really you're not horrified at all

Keir Starmer says scrapping the 2 child benefit cap is his proudest moment as PM Starmer could have scrapped the cap on day one of becoming PM. Instead he suspended 7 Labour MPs for voting to scrap it & the govt had to be dragged kicking & screaming to do it over 20 months later

"Sky News has verified the identities of everyone from the school who was killed. 120 students, 73 boys & 47 girls, aged from 6 to 13, & 26 teachers, who were killed in the strike". Tom Cheshire reports on the primary school bombed by the US. 120 children & 26 teachers, all murdered.

I cannot believe today of all days some are still discussing immigration in a way that dehumanises. It’s damaging. There is no such thing as illegal. They have human rights. And they make up just 3% of all migrants. And the majority of those allowed to work make a valid contribution to the country.

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

It's been a while since I posted. I have resigned from my job- NHS, Doctor. My 3 decades as a doctor has burnt me out. My patients & colleagues have humbled me with their love & support. Please see my painting on a bigger screen. Both patients and clinicians are suffering💔

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

Day 10 Albania Tirana — protesters are walking towards the Prime Minister’s residence like every night.

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. - Albert Camus #Poetry 💙📚👀

"Wherever people are discriminated against because of their national, ethnic, religious or linguistic origin, or because of their economic or social status, the universal principle of the equal dignity of all human beings is seriously violated." -Pope Leo XIV

May the next chapter of your journey continue to be filled with love & support, with much abundance & the peace you've earned.❤️

You have served your time with honour, all good luck with everything that comes next, but have a good rest & be good to yourself!❤️

Netanyahu says Israels occupation of Gaza will increase step by step. Israel occupies 60% of Gaza & the Israeli PM has announced the next step will be to increase that to 70% Will the UK govt take any action against Israel or will Yvette Cooper simply say shes very concerned?

The UK govt's Health Bill is set to remove the statutory presence of a qualified nurse & doctor from Foundation Trust boards, with the presumed intention of putting the meeting of financial targets ahead of patient safety, since clinicians are more likely to be aware of unsafe staffing practices.

@faizashaheen.bsky.social : "Who do you see on those boats? You see people from Iraq, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan.." Kwasi Kwarteng: "There are legitimate ways.." "There aren't legitimate ways, thats the problem. You don't see Ukrainians because they can apply on safe routes" Well said Faiza

"There is of course a ceasefire although as we know there have been transgressions constantly by both sides" Israel continues to bomb, starve and kill, & Palestinians continue to die. Thats what Adam Parsons is bothsidesing.

Happy #SocialistSunday. Mick Lynch succintly explains a basic tenet of economics.

I don’t usually swear in social media- but f”ck you racists abusing your doctors and nurses in the NHS for being brown/ black or wearing hijabs. You are deplorable in every way possible.

Yesterday Far Right leader Tommy Robinson and his followers openly called for Islam to be removed from the UK and us Muslims to be remigrated. If he had said this about Jews, quite rightly, there would be a national response. But it has been eerily quiet today.

I'm so sick of people sugar coating the Epstein files. These rich and powerful men raped young girls and boys and the President of the United States was part of it. #ReleaseTheEpstein_Files

Newly elected Reform UK councillor Glenn Gibbins, who said Nigerians should be “melted down” to “fill in the pot holes!!” HAS NOT been suspended by the Farage-led party, though he is being “investigated” days after winning his Hylton Castle Ward seat in Sunderland. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform UK have now confirmed that Glenn Gibbins has still NOT been suspended. Sickening racism from one of Reform’s Sunderland councillors and they can’t even get their act together to throw him out.

"Public ownership is in the public interest" says Starmer. Except on water companies where he will continue to let them dump sewage.

Conservative evangelicals telling immigrants and trans people how demonized they are

Sophy Ridge: "Who is Keir Starmer, thats the question. Who is he? Whats his vision?" Having to ask this question 6 years after Starmer became Labour leader & almost 2yrs since he became PM is damning. Both for the Labour leadership & the msm whose job it is to scrutinise them.

Reform Latest : 2 councillors died before election Several now suspended for various bits of bigotry At least 1 doesn’t exist Others want to stand down because they didn’t know being a councillor is unpaid 1 thought he would be in Parliament They don’t need a Whip, they need Missing Persons #reform

Same 👇🏻

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

A few rich totalitarian men are unleashing inequality again. Women, LGBTQ and people of colour are increasingly targeted. A safe world is a just world, we must keep fighting ✊🏽 #socialistsunday

Christ allfuckinmighty ... what the hell's going on with Sunderland... jeezus 😱😖🤬

First they came for the journalists. Nobody knows what happened after that. #Palestine #gaza

Dear Sunderland Reform Voters! 👋 Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC #NUFC
