Food is being used as a weapon of war.
Millions are starving to death.
Iran is supplying drones to keep the conflict going & bring more death.
This is not Gaza or Ukraine - but Sudan.

Thank you

Local, Visible and Accessible Policing: Hotspot policing, more visible patrols, town centre teams and our rural engagement team have all acted to bring crime down. More police on our streets now than ever before will keep us safer. Roger Hirst for Essex

We’re investing £35 million in grassroots cricket to help over 900,000 young people into playing cricket.
Contrary to the sniping from Labour, which promised a childcare plan 'like the creation of the NHS' 15 months ago but still has no plan today, here's what actually happened to childcare places and staff numbers last year - both up, by 15,100 and 12,900
