This is on you @YvetteCooperMP and all of the idiot MPs who voted for this obnoxious piece of legislation. It may be ok in North Korea, but not here. You need to rescind it quickly. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.

Ian Hislop, "It is pretty ludicrous we have got to a state where a man is arrested for carrying a joke? I mean, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, all those things we claim to be interested in?" Shame on @YvetteCooperMP and @Keir_Starmer - this isn't the change any of us…
Chair, @SarahChampionMP, has responded to the details of the Government’s aid allocations for 2025-26. Read more on our website ⬇️

Points taken, but aid cuts are not going to ‘crowd in’ health spending. We have two excellent studies from @ISGLOBALorg and @JustinSandefur and @charlesjkenny @CGDev providing indicative estimates of impact. Let’s not indulge in technical points scoring while Rome burns (please).
Finally read the @TheLancet article claiming US foreign assistance cuts will lead to 14mill deaths up to 2030 which has garnered much media attention. Its problematic to say the least, X-country regression with mortality on left and US spending per head on right. 1/ 🧵
WOW!! MUST WATCH. Nothing more needs to be said on the subject. Absolutely.Nothing.More. Hats off @rachshabi
I have nothing but contempt for the UK politicians and pundits who have spent the past 24 hours obsessing over a chant denouncing a military - the same military that meanwhile has been massacring civilians in Gaza, while those politicians and pundits ignore those killings.
Huge amount of Israeli bombing in Gaza overnight and today with 70+ killed since dawn includ Dr Shehada Mahmoud Asqoul, the former Head of Pulmonology at Nasser Hosp killed in his tent - plus a cafe full of journos and others kills another 20+
It's now becoming obvious that the statistics about people being killed near aid trucks in Gaza has to be explained by the fact that the civilians (men, women and children) queueing up are really Hamas fighters. In the end, it will be shown that all Gaza's 2 million are Hamas.
This is an outstanding and thorough examination of BBC coverage of the Gaza war. The BBC, an organisation I love and support, has serious and troubling questions to answer.
📢 NEW REPORT: A year-long analysis of BBC coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza reveals a pattern of bias, double standards & silencing of Palestinian voices. Despite 34x more Palestinian deaths, Israeli fatalities received 33x more coverage per death. DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT HERE 📄…
