These poor little souls... 💔
We’ve unleashed hell on earth, and it’s called Gaza. Through our actions and indifference, we’ve turned it into a place of unimaginable suffering and destruction. The devastation, the loss of innocent lives—it’s a stain on our collective humanity. The blood is on all our hands, and we should all bear the shame of what we’ve allowed to happen.
A little girl struggles to carry her wounded sister to their tent. The health system in Gaza is collapsing, leaving tens of thousands without treatment. The Ministry of Health warns that 25,000 injured people are trapped, desperately needing to escape Gaza for life-saving care, but they remain abandoned to suffer.

You do realise that nothing works.

How many Angela Rayner Units in a Tory? #AngelaRayners
For instance..
£7,897 Boris Johnson booze bill for his Brexit party Jan 31st 2020
5 #AngelaRayners
Many more below⏬️ and in this thread 👍🏼🧵
One Angela Rayner Unit of £1,500 is what the Tories claim she may owe in CGT on a house she bought in 2007. Her tax advisor says she doesn't.
With @Conservatives hypocrisy reaching explosive levels, I thought it a good exercise to see how this claim of theirs relates to just some of their own waste, fines and dodgy dealings.

Hillary Clinton on Voters who are upset about the choices in November:
“Get over yourselves…. One is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart and really cares about people, and one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies… I don’t understand why this is a hard choice.”

Jemma Forte, "So the Daily Mail and the other right wing papers are trying to find anything that they can dirt on the Labour party"
"And this is the second time the Daily Mail really featured this very, very heavily. And the story is Angela Raynor sold her council, sorry, bought her council house and apparently might own between one and a half to say, three and a half thousand pounds in capital gains tax when she sold it"
"However, this has already been looked at. She's had legal advice saying she's fine. It was looked at by the police once"
"But these people are desperate to reopen the case and the hypocrisy is just off the scale because the Daily Mail is owned by Lord Ashcroft, who doesn't pay tax in this country, a non dom. It was millions and millions and millions of pounds offshore a newspaper that avoids paying its taxes tax"
"And they're going after a woman who bought her a council house and owes a couple of grand"
"Now, if that is so, then obviously labor important members of the Labour party need to be held up to scrutiny. They need to be accountable. That's absolutely fine"
"But from a party that is full of millionaires and billionaires and people like Jeremy Hunt, who, for instance, said it was an honest mistake that he didn't pay stamp duty on seven properties, it just. It feels rather grotesque to me" @jemmaforte

I can't believe Conservative MPs are still parroting this ridiculous Tory press office line. Don't they realise how absurd they sound?

BREAKING: Indicted 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is hit with devastating news as the biggest and most influential newspaper in the entire state of Texas endorses President Biden and tears Donald Trump to pieces.
But it gets even WORSE for Donald Trump…
The editorial board of The Houston Chronicle not only ripped into the MAGA cult leader, they laid out in plain black and white exactly why every American should vote for Joe Biden.
They write that Biden will "make life better" for the American people, has made our economy "healthier," and will crucially prevent the "chaos, corruption and danger to the nation" that would so clearly come from Trump getting a second term in the White House.
They state that the Biden administration has "performed remarkably well, despite the rancor and divisiveness that have afflicted this nation for nearly a decade."
The board concedes that Biden "has his shortcomings" like every other president, but says that he has a historic number of achievements that serve as a "potent reminder to his fellow Democrats, to independents and to those Republicans who have somehow resisted Trump's cultish appeal that the nation has a viable alternative."
In addition to his massive economic victories, they praise Biden's effort to curtail gun violence, his introduction of a price cap on insulin, and his astonishing success at uniting the world against Putin's "brutish" invasion of Ukraine.
When mentioning the situation along the southern border, the board writes that "blame primarily belongs to caviling and cynical MAGA Republicans in the House.
"In servility to Trump, they torpedoed a bipartisan border-security plan painstakingly crafted in the Senate. Biden can't solve the crisis by executive order; he needs Congress to act," the board writes.
At another point in the piece, the board easily dispatches the bad faith attacks on Biden's age, saying that he has "forgotten more than his presumed Republican rival will ever know. That's not saying much, and at the same time, it says it all."
Predictably, prominent MAGA figures are completely melting down over the editorial — because they know precisely how influential this newspaper is in Texas. Clearly, The Houston Chronicle has struck a nerve.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that every patriotic American should vote for Biden — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Denmark has decided to send all its artillery to Ukraine — Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark.
"Ukraine is asking us for ammunition and artillery now. We, Denmark, have decided to transfer all our artillery to Ukraine. So, sorry, friends, there is military equipment in Europe, it is not only a matter of production. We have weapons, ammunition, air defense systems, which we do not use yet. They must be handed over to Ukraine."
Thank you, Denmark! You are true friends!

President of Student's Union in Lancaster, "I have students coming in saying they can't study because they haven't eaten in three days"
Fiona Bruce, "People are telling you they haven't eaten in three days?"
President, "I have hundreds of stories.. We have a food bank on campus.. We have a supper club where we give our free meals to over 100 students every Thursday... The only hot meal they'll have that week"
"Students are the future of the economy.. If we can't eat, we can't study, if we can't afford our rent we can't live here.. The government does not prioritise students and it hasn't in the last decade" #BBCQT @LancasterSU @CerysEvans

A little reminder from last June 2023 about new constituency boundaries and tactical voting
Follow Stopthetories.vote & also @BestForBritain
My aim?
That Tories lose so many seats they can't even form the opposition.
Then we get some form of Proportional Representation 👍🏼
At @BestForBritain...vid explains...if a GE happened today but with new boundaries.
My target is for the Tories to not even have enough votes to form an opposition...
