Israeli tanks have entered the occupied West Bank for the first time in 20 years.
Over 40,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced. This is ethnic cleansing & annexation.
Israel must be held to account. We need a full arms embargo, & all economic & diplomatic ties severed.

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April โ while companies have raked in over ยฃ457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020.
Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains.
It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

Screen grab from Youtube shows young woman with cropped hair holding artwork, standing in front of a display of more.
Caption says, "girl sells artwork to fund her chemo then Clint Eastwood walks by & shocks..."
My shock isn't that Clint Eastwood buys some of this art, but that in the USA, people accept they have to do this. In the UK. Reform, Conservatives and, increasingly, Labour want the NHS to end up like American "healthcare" where many people can't afford treatment to get better.

The memorial: High Sherif of Nottinghamshire, Nick Rubins is speaking in front of the Holocaust Memorial statue in the Walled Garden in Bramcote Park. Behind him is the choir of Alderman White school. To his left are Leader of Broxtowe Council, Milan Radulovic, borough officer, Olivia, Mayor of Broxtowe, Sue Paterson and Youth Mayor of Broxtowe, Libby Bales. Libby, Sue and Milan also spoke.
Stapleford Mayor, Rahee Ali (in the light coloured coat) and others who joined the memorial.
This AM I was at the #HolocaustMemorialDay event organised by Broxtowe BC, Nottinghamshire - a solemn occasion. It was timely to hear about the first Jewish High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire's family's experience during WW2 and since.
If only we could force world leaders to hear us say #NeverAgain.

And Starmer made no mention of 100s of 1000s of Palestinians brutally murdered before & since the 7th October 2023 - babies, children, women, men; doctors, nurses & other medical staff, journalists & aid workers.
He seems to be clueless about Palestinian history. Or chooses to ignore it.

โItโs an enormous emergencyโ: the doctor saving Sudanโs most vulnerable
MSF medical teams provide vital care in the war-torn country where pregnant women, new mothers and newborns are dying needlessly at alarming rates
It doesn't seem that long since the Arab Spring, & I'm old enough to remember the optimism as the Iron Curtain came down. Now there is so much killing round the world. There doesn't seem a will to bring it to an end. Too much profit for large corporations?

Sometimes I feel hopeless about what is happening to the NHS and what people are doing about it. I think we either need to go all in, find the millions of people who care and get a *lot* louder, or we give up.
I want to go all in, but I canโt go all in alone. Share if you think we need to fight.

My statement stating some of the reasons I've left Labour to become part of an independent group of councillors on Broxtowe Borough Council: "I'm leaving the Labour Party because it has grown increasingly distant from ordinary people. This has been shown, for example, by the cut to Winter Fuel Allowance and the treatment of WASPI women. Our new MP has been almost invisible."
Holding my cut up UK Labour Party membership card in my hand.
Here's my statement about why, from today, I'm no longer a Labour councillor on #Broxtowe Borough Council. Added to this are the Labour government's continued support for the #GazaGenocide. Around 20 of us have formed this new group on the council: broxtoweindependents.org.uk

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Quote by Martha Kelly: Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane.
Clement Attlee
"The evils that capitalism brings differ in intensity in different countries, but, the root cause of the trouble once discerned, the remedy is seen to be the same by thoughtful men and women. The cause is the private ownership of the means of life; the remedy is public ownership"

By 2008, [Jewish Israelis] had built an additional fence around the [illegal] settlement that took in even more of our land. Palestinian farmers were cut off from their crops and grazing pastures, jeopardizing their livelihoods. Although the Israeli government protects the settlers and treats the land they steal as if it were part of Israel, this time an Israeli court actually ordered the fence to be taken down. It was, but the courts did nothing more to stop the settlers of Halamish. Undeterred, they took our precious Ayn Al Qaws spring and built a pool to collect the springwater. They added a shading structure, benches, and a swing set. They put up signs around the area that read MEIR SPRING, renaming our centuries-old water source after one of their settlement's founders. And they could do this all because they were protected at every step by the Israeli military - after all, the Israeli military, the settlers, the courts, and the government are all part of the same system.
From "They called me a lioness" by Ahed Tamimi & Dena Takruri showing the arrogance of Jewish Israeli settlers in The West Bank, taking over a spring, vital for the livelihood of local Palestinians, so they can have a swimming pool - illegal under international law, but they don't care.
