Following the ICC's arrest warrants, how can the continued sale of arms to Israel possibly be justified?

Silly titles for daft people. Time we had a grown up conversation about ditching the lot. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy
Queen Consort was a short-term fudge - sustained by much of the media - as people adjusted to the death of Queen Elizabeth. In just over two months’ time when Charles is crowned king, his wife will be crowned Queen Camilla.

Little Stonegate. Blatant abuse of their licensing conditions by Kennedy’s. Spread of their furniture plus A- Boards & bicycle chained to drainpipe + bollards has turned it into the latest assault course for disabled people. Enforcement please @CityofYork !

Frances Rifkin’s MP is Keir Starmer who has refused to speak to her for two years. “I’m a leftie Jew. The Board of Deputies don’t like me because I’m one of the people who supports Palestinians.”

In today’s debate on the NHS led by the terrific ⁦@KateOsborneMP⁩ I presented a brief overview of the record of serious underfunding of the NHS over the last 13 years under the Tories & how this has impacted on NHS workers. Action is desperately needed on pay & investment.

This is important because it means JKR is now beyond criticism in British media. Yet the group who best know what is transphobic - surprise surprise, it’s her target: the trans community - have no voice. Incredible.

Your mortgage had to go up to DOUBLE HSBC’s profit. Your gas had to go up to TRIPLE Centrica’s profit. Your petrol had to go up to QUADRUPLE Shell’s profit. Brexit Britain working to bankrupt you.

Privatisation of the NHS has been linked to avoidable deaths We must protect our NHS's 3 core principles to avoid more unnecessary deaths: 1️⃣ That it meet the needs of all 2️⃣ That it be free at the point of delivery 3️⃣ That it be based on clinical need, not the ability to pay

An honour to meet Chris Smalls, who led the first Amazon strikes in the U.S. Thank you for galvanising a collective movement, whose success has inspired so many others to stand up and fight back against corporate greed. International solidarity is how we win!
