Been in touch with a medical provider in Gaza who says “this ceasefire is even less of a ceasefire than the last ceasefire” — nothing’s getting in, no one’s getting out, people are still being killed and badly injured every day
“Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers.”
The stories will get worse over time as censorship erodes. But we knew and didn’t stop it.

So much British immigration policy is about pretending that pathways and options exist that simply do not. Just like all the narratives about small boats that ignore the fact that there’s no legal route to entry to claim asylum in the UK.

Between this, the assisted dying bill, and the analysis of said bill revealing a possible saving of £100m per year in health and social care costs, it's clear the government intends to just straight up murder disabled people to save them money.
