Stop blaming migrants and tackle real problems, 100 charities tell UK Govt. Govt follows Reform agenda, failed to develop effective counter narrative. Migrants are vital part of economy, public services. Economic problems caused by wrong policy choices. https://t.co/RuF2ypoXC1

Rich kids are way more likely to grow up to be artists. And that's because capitalism doesn't give us all the freedom to reach our creative potentials. https://t.co/jU0LPBkpMB

Be clear on what Israel’s doing - they are silencing the eyewitnesses to genocide in Gaza. The doctors, the aid workers, the local journalists. While keeping foreign media out. None of this is random. It’s calculated, targeted, ruthless.

Too much silence and inaction. History books will tell of the complicit leaders who allowed this to happen time and time again. It CAN be stopped. “Israel bombed Gaza hospital a second time, killing rescuers”.
