They bombed a hospital. A hospital full of sick, wounded people. A hospital trying to save lives. They just killed 500 people. This is a horrific crime against humanity. This is a war crime. This is genocide. Get it through your heads that they are committing genocide.

Gaza and Barcelona are twin cities. The Gazan local government has sent a farewell letter to Barcelona. This is an imperfect translation of the bit has been made public. It's the saddest thing I've ever read.

Just out from the last preview of @Sinatra_Musical at @BirminghamRep. What a show! Incredible performances, particularly from Matt Doyle, and fantastic for Birmingham to welcome Broadway stars to the city. Let’s hope, with everything going on here atm, the arts aren’t forgotten.

Starmer helped get a British soldier responsible for the deaths of two teenagers in Northern Ireland cleared of murder
As a human rights lawyer, then with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, and as Director of Public Prosecutions, I worked by: One rule for all. Everyone protected. Everyone respected. No-one denied the law. No-one above the law. That principle will drive my government.

You were warned that your language would have far reaching consequences. You instead ignored that warning and doubled down on it. Your second sentence is especially telling.
I condemn the appalling disorder in Knowsley last night. The alleged behaviour of some asylum seekers is never an excuse for violence and intimidation. Thank you to @merseypolice officers for keeping everyone safe.

Imagine if britain invaded & colonised a neighbouring country and then continuously funded paramilitary organisations in a specific area of it, leading to permanent conflict and instability where the only sustainable option was the permanent succession of that area into the uk.
A question for the people who claim that sending tanks to #Ukraine will just escalate the war & that Ukraine should hold peace talks with Russia: How much of the UK would you be happy for OUR government to give away to an invading force to end a war? Please give precise details.

Personally I think needless immiseration is bad in and of itself, but it feels worth saying again that it’s also FUCKING TERRIBLE FOR THE ECONOMY

I hate so much all that cost of living advice that is basically “give up anything that might bring you a modicum of joy during these rancid times so that you can afford to simply exist as a husk otherwise you are not worthy of support because you’re not doing the most you can”

Who’s behind this? DUP Ian Paisley Jr’s referendum bill hearing for Jan 20th means united Ireland or Scottish independence votes require a super-majority, pretty much locking both into the union forever - a repeat of Labour’s 79 devolution trick that preempts Supreme Court ruling

As nurses vote for historic strike action, let's recognise the immense contribution that people from around the world have made to the NHS. Our health service would not exist without an international workforce. They deserve our full support. https://t.co/V9TO4SBSU1

The NHS is braced for the walkout by Royal College of Nursing members in a dispute over pay.
