Somebody wake Biden up and explain to him what his military aid to Israel is being used for, other than slaughtering as many Palestinians as it can:

“United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said in a statement that Israeli forces have "repeatedly hit" UN positions in the last 24 hours.

"Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law,"

#FreePalestine #EmbargoIsrael #BDS


The UN inquiry accused Israel of a concerted policy of destroying Gaza's healthcare system, actions it claimed amounted to both war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination.

Thanks to MSNBC I now have an explanation for the surging far right in America who are waging culture wars against anyone and everyone who isn’t white and heterosexual.

It’s a movement called Christian Dominionism.

One of its key proponents, a Christian mobile phone provider has taken over school districts in Texas by funding slick election campaigns feeding people’s fears.

Religion is a cancer on humanity — now it’s a far right dictatorship in waiting.

*This* is why Thatcher was so successful in persuading people to act against the broader common good by selling them publicly owned housing stock at knock down prices so they could generate illusory ‘wealth’ — all at huge cost to wider society, and spawning the crippling housing crisis we’ve endured ever since.

Labour had the chance to reverse this catastrophic policy in ‘97.

It refused to — instead adding fuel to the fire by privatising social housing provision.

Politicians talk about getting families onto the “property ladder” in order to build wealth.

True, UK property has performed very well in recent decades, but one person’s house price windfall is another’s living cost inflation.

“For society as a whole”, the property market creates “an illusion of wealth, not the real thing.”

In the meantime UK house prices will keep falling …

This just formalises the right’s contempt for internal democracy within Labour. Starmer already ignores key policy decisions made by members:

“Last year’s conference overwhelmingly backed a motion calling for PR, an idea ignored by Keir Starmer.”

Question is why are so many still deluding themselves that Starmer is playing a brilliant game of 3D chess when the stark reality is he’s making Labour utterly indistinguishable from the Conservatives on any major policy issue?

Vote Labour get Tory


Labour conference rule changes could stop members debating certain issues — like economy wrecking Tory Brexit…

Anyone still seriously considering voting for Starmer’s Labour needs to ask themselves whether they are, in reality, just a closet Conservative.

Stop voting Labour, #VoteGreen💚 instead. If Scotland can break free under FPTP — so can England!

It’s soooo much nicer living in a country whose Government puts the people living there ahead of the greed of profiteers and spivs.

#Scotland🏴 really is a completely different country to England… in every single respect.

https://www.scotrail.co.uk/off-peak-fares-all-day-long

#StayinPut #OffPeakFaresAllDayLong


In #Scotland🏴 peak fares are being removed across the board on #ScotRail to try and incentivise rail travel over car use.

If passenger numbers go up it’s entirely possible the temporary peak fares removal will become a permanent one.

You can only do that if your country owns your train operating company.

No privatised company would consent to losing the profit they derive from gouging daily commuters.

#AEI #FarRight

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/american-enterprise-institute/


Braverman is a clear and present threat to *all* our human rights.

She’s now pushing an extremist rightwing agenda that will basically bar anyone from anywhere seeking protection and shelter in another country.

Sky News is at fault. AEI is no more ‘centre right’ than Adolf Hitler.

The AEI is an extreme right wing neoconservative climate change denying, fossil fuel funded lie machine.

Still, the perfect audience for #ToryScum to spew vile hate fuelled ideology to.

Why do people in England carry on putting up with this crap?

Privatised rail will never ever deliver for the rail using public.

#Scotland🏴 has at least nationalised its train company.

Labour need to stop being afraid of their own shadows and pledge to nationalise Network Rail as well as all the ToCs should they be elected.

We reported total loss of heating to #NHBC🤡 “Emergency Response” service early morning on Sunday.  We got a phone call from their on call gas engineer at midday today. 🤷♂

New build in Britain is a complete and utter scam — and it’s only getting worse as Tories weaken building regulations and standards in return for developer donations.

Until the law changes you have more consumer protection buying a 50p tin of beans than you do a £300k+ new build house.

#PrideInTheBodge #NHBC #BoycottNewBuild


Turns out the engineer that replaced a blending valve last week on our system left the central heating valve shut off.

Lucky he did because it forced #ScotiaHomes to stop trying to ignore the problems and send their contractors back today.

Upshot?

The wiring to the boiler system is a complete indecipherable mess that bears no relation to the manufacturer’s wiring schematics and is wrong

The water pressure to the hot water is so low it’ll invalidate the boiler warranty.

Avoid Scotia Homes 🤡

We’re just going to have to stop using fossil fuels, period.

Fantasy projects like carbon capture and storage won’t work either. Don’t get me started on the cost of nuclear, or its toxic legacy.

We have the technology to switch to 100% green renewable energy now. We just lack the will, despite the planet burning around us, to do it.

That has to change and change quickly if we’re to survive:

Conservatives can see the planet burning and our climate breaking down, but rather than deal with the rabid extremists that have hijacked their Party they’re happier trashing the planet even more and just making it even more expensive for our children to escape the worsening impacts of man made #ClimateChange.

“A third woman claims that he sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation.

The fourth described being sexually assaulted by Brand and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her.”

#Rape #RussellBrand


“A second woman alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was 31 and she was 16 and still at school. She said he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship that lasted for about three months, and that Brand once “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke. She says she tried to push him off and said she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.”

#Rape #RussellBrand


“One woman alleges that Brand raped her against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, according to medical records. Text messages show that in the hours after leaving his house, she told Brand that she had been scared by him and felt taken advantage of, adding: “When a girl say[s] NO it means no.” Brand replied saying he was “very sorry”.”

Starmer’s view of the desperate men, women and children fleeing war and persecution being forced to cross the Channel in unsafe dinghies and small boats because the Conservatives have removed all lawful safe routes to claim asylum:

"The first job of any government is national security - protecting the British people from threats that come from here and overseas.”

Refugees are now *threats* to Labour.
