Palestinians told you they were being killed at U.S.-run aid sites in Gaza.
Israeli soldiers admitted they were killing Palestinians at those same sites.
A U.S. security contractor who worked there said the aid sites were engineered death traps.

The worst thing Donald Trump has ever done is commit genocide in Gaza. Everything else pales in comparison. He could end the Gaza holocaust with a phone call just like Biden could have, and he hasn't. For that reason alone he deserves to die in a cage.

Water privatisation has been a complete & utter failure.
It is absurd that the government's report into the water industry didn't even consider public ownership.
That's not a report. That's a political broadcast for the private sector.
Put water back into public hands, now.

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England's great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot
In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is absolutely absurd that Diane Abbott has been suspended for this.
She's describing the lived experience of anti-Black racism.
She wasn't saying Jewish people and Travellers don't experience racism. She's saying that racism takes different forms.
