Freezing rents (in New York) and freezing train fares (in the UK) is a decent start, and better than nothing, but we need much much more.
The cost of living is too high. We don't just need to freeze it. We need to REDUCE it.
We need lower rents, lower fares, and lower bills...

"Taxes are high. This governement is left-wing!"
Errr..... Nope!
If the big taxes are on the 99%, and they go to the 1% - if inequality is going up - then your government is right-wing.
Left-wingers want to tax the super rich, and redistribute resourcesa to the 99%.

Do you want to stop all the unsafe, illegal, small-boat channel crossings?
Then provide anyone who wants it with access to safe, legal, big-boat channel crossings.
It's really as simple as that.

159,837 people died in conflicts, in 2024.
That doesn't even include "excess deaths", caused as a result of war.
We must remember them all.
We must bring an end to war, before war brings an end to us.

If a bunch of foreigners came to Britain, and said - "We want to colonise all of Britain, but we'll compromise and accept England. The English can go and live in Scotland and Wales" - do you think Brits would accept that?
Of course they wouldn't!
So why should the Palestinians?

Israel hasn't released any of the child hostages its kidnapped.
Israel still holds 300+ Palestinian children.
Some of the children have been tortured – subjected to violent shaking, blasts of freezing air, and deafening music.
This is evil.

You cannot have peace without justice.
The victims of injustice, will always fight for their rights. This is natural.
To secure peace, therefore, we must give the Palestinians their justice.
The refugees must be allowed to return home.
The apartheid system must be dismantled.

Two-years ago today, on the 7th October 2023, the IDF invoked the Hannibal Directive: It conducted a wave of murderous attacks, which claimed the lives of scores of Israeli Jews.
The IDF is a terrorist organisation.
It ought to be proscribed.

It's worth remembering that the First Intifada was wholly non-violent.
The Great March of Return was non-violent.
The violence we witnessed on October 7th was inevitable, because non-violent protests such as these (and others) were ignored.
They've been ignored since 1948.

On the 2-year anniversary of the October Uprising, let's remember:
1) This didn't start in 2023. Zionist colonialism began with the First Aliyah in 1881.
2) Zionists knew the locals would resist their occupation.
3) The continued that occupation, KNOWING JEWS WOULD BE KILLED!

The actions of Israel, provoke antisemitism around the world. That leads to attacks, like the one we saw in Manchester on Yom Kippur.
The solution is simple: Get out on the streets, and protests against the Zionist State.
No Jew is safe, while Israel still exists.

I'm Jewish
So I'm apalled by the senseless murders of two Jews in Manchester
But I'm equally apalled, each time I hear that two people have been senselessly murdered in Gaza, Ukraine, or anywhere else
Why should I feel any different?
We're all members of the same human family

If Hamas are being asked to disarm, then the IDF should be asked to disarm as well.
The IDF has more weapons and more militants. It kills more people, kidnaps more people, and destroys more property.

If Israel only deployed its military in self-defence, as it claims while bombing Gaza, then it'd never go after the likes of the Sumud Flotilla - which poses absolutely no physical threat.
The fact Israel WOULD attack the flotilla, shows this has never been about "self-defence".
