Israel has an official state policy of organised and widespread torture, @australia.theguardian.com.

You don't need to rely on UN reports to make this point, or use scare quotes and cast doubt in your headlines.

It's already a well-known strongly evidenced FACT. #FreePalestine

Usual Express Tory propaganda.

It's only going to affect those lucky pensioners whose income is over £35,000.

That's around THREE TIMES what a basic State Pensioner gets.

It would be interesting to know how many well-off pensioners read the Express... probably not the 2.2 million in question.

Hard-hitting truth-telling from UCL Prof Anthony Costello….

“The Covid Public Inquiry is a devastating critique of medical advisers, civil servants and politicians who led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century. More than 230,000 deaths.”

The Johnson govt did nothing to suppress the spread of Covid by cancelling major sports events.

In the end, organisations like the Premier League had to take it upon themselves to cancel games (in response to public pressure) - and consider how many lives were saved as a result.

#TheCovidInquiry
From the chilling time line:

“Thur 12 Mar 2020
At press conference Whitty says 80% of people could be infected, with up to 1% death rate ie: >500,000 deaths. Supports government decision to stop community testing. Unlike European countries, UK does not cancel sports events.”

That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Jen Wood -

All the rubbish about the welfare bill being unsustainable has to stop. Not only is it sustainable, there is £19 billion unclaimed each year and with the hatred towards those on welfare that is being whipped up by politicians and the media, that amount will probably be higher now
