It’s often hard to get your MP to understand specific GP problems and influence decisions Take for example Ilford North where GP to patient ratios are some of the worst in the country and aren’t improving 2661 patients/GP up 510 since 2018 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 2257 patients/GP If only the local MP had any influence

They honour the dead in the morning and condemn the desperate in the afternoon. They honour those who fought fascists in the morning Then act as fascists act in the afternoon. Shame on our political leaders. Deep & ever abiding Shame. #remembranceday

THREAD Tonight is the 83rd anniversary of Kristallnacht- night of 9 November 1938 during which hundreds of German Jews were murdered and thousands of synagogues burnt. Contrast in Spanish Republican + Francoist press could not have been greater; the former despite its own desperate situation, CONT'D

offered support to the victims and saw fate of German Jews as their own while the Francoist press reacted with glee, as one Falangist paper headlined:  “A clear warning to international Jewry never again to make attempts on the lives of Germans."

Support was reiterated in a Republican government declaration in Barcelona the week later and reproduced in the press: "Those responsible for these crimes are the promoters of the slanderous propaganda from July 1936 which has been made against Spain and its government.

A Republican government declaration in Barcelona the week later was reproduced in the press: "Those responsible for these crimes are the promoters of the slanderous propaganda from July 1936 which has been made against Spain and its government.

Spain will, pained by the attack on human dignity of the heinous pogroms of Nazi Germany, offer, once the war is over, and within the limits of its possibilities, shelter to those persecuted for their origin, and political or religious beliefs , who wish to come to Spain."

Meanwhile in Franco’s Spain on 18 November, Abc headlined "Echoes and records of red criminality", which went on to declare: "Besides hosting on its soil all the scum of the International Brigades ," the government of the Republic "will give all facilities to all Jews who want to

move to Red Spain ( ... ) This law [sic] is preparing for the invasion of Red Spain by international Jewry. Excellent article La España en guerra ante la 'Kristallnacht' La España en guerra ante la 'Kristallnacht' elpais.com/diario/2008/...

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

75% of Irish ppl believe in an independent neutral Ireland; we choose how we defend ourselves in line with longstanding friends, such as France; Irish ally since 1798. The €200m+ Dublin EU Presidency shows that Ireland does not have to join NATO. Those keen on war, not peace, are in a tiny minority*

"An article published by The Times suggested that Iran was making donations to Palestine Action "via proxies" It turned out that the story was allegedly planted in the British press by a PR firm working for an Israeli weapons company. Read the full report from Joshua Carroll: novara.media/4hLyeUx "

When Green party critics call our thoroughly researched policies that are often worked through for years "simplistic" "undeliverable" etc, they are never specific about which policies or why. That's because it would reveal that what they really mean is "our donors don't like them"

#OtD 9 Nov 1938 a pogrom occurred against Jewish people throughout Nazi Germany carried out by the fascist Brownshirts and antisemitic civilian supporters. Nazis dubbed it "Kristallnacht". 30k Jews were arrested and hundreds killed in the coming weeks stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1094...

UK electricity bills up 163% since 2008. Wages haven't. 6.1m households in fuel poverty, £4.43bn debt Profiteering: Energy sector average profit margin 23%, grid sector 38%, gas extraction 58%. Profit last year £30bn. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. No govt checks profiteering.

The rule of law has delivered: Profiteering Poverty Poor housing Low wages/pensions Queues for hospital appointments Premature death to many Sewage in rivers Cuts in spending on essential services Closure of libraries, community centres. Whose law, who rules? Govts appease corporations/rich.

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

The story appears to raise questions about links between #Labour & #Israeli arms firm #Elbit a longtime client of #CMSStrategic and one of the main companies targeted by #PalestineAction protests, it was revealed that Pickering is also a Labour local councillor www.middleeasteye.net/news/pr-boss...

In general the smaller the GP practice the better the satisfaction from patients, the more appointments offered per patient, the shorter the waits, lower costs Yet … Wes & NHSE are pushing for large Neighbourhood Centres ignoring existing GP practices Why? What’s the reason?
