I'm not shocked. Of course they did. This will be one reason why the UK government has been falling over itself not to use the g-word.

Imagine what our NHS could have done with the money wasted on PFI — the hospitals, staff, care.

Instead, we paid 70% more for buildings that left trusts drowning in debt.

And now they want to resurrect it.🫨

Housing benefit no longer covers the true cost of private rent – and it’s forcing people into poverty, ill health and homelessness. That’s plain wrong.

It took the Quakers this long to finally come up with this, and they are still the first among the Churches. Munther Isaac has a lot to say about the Churches’ cowardice in Christ in the Rubble. There is no Christian theology that can possibly justify genocide.

With over 40 MPs, I've written to the Foreign Secretary over worrying new evidence that the UK is still arming Israel in violation of its own arms ban.

The Government must respond in Parliament to these claims.

We need a full arms embargo on Israel to help stop the genocide.

How many more people in Gaza need to be killed, injured or starved by Israel, until the Government does the right thing and brings in widespread sanctions - on arms, on trade and on the individuals responsible for this genocide?
