Five of the strikers have now been hospitalised - it is clear Lammy must take urgent action to prevent tragedy."

apart from the sheer inconceivable horror of the El Fasher massacre and its attendant horrors itself, the thing I'm feeling depressed about is that it probably won't matter.
these were people already on the utmost margins of the global system, who the world has already decided it doesn't care about

60,000 is the *low end* estimate.
So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

Keir Starmer's Isreali handlers continue killing babies
In violation of the ceasefire Israel is blocking the entry of tents and shelters into Gaza. The result? Babies dying from the cold.
Israel doesn't just murder Palestinians with bombs and bullets.

Yesterday, MPs held a 1.5 hours debate on foreign interference in Britain. Mentions:
Russia - 128
China - 32
Israel - 2 in passing, one saying it is an “ally”.
A quarter of MPs and a third of the Cabinet have received funding from the Israel lobby.

Keir Starmer is so worried about the Green Party that he's lying about our policies.
The Green Party has an evidence-based policy that recognises the war on drugs has failed.
We would legalise AND regulate drugs to reduce the harms to individuals and to society.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
