Fashion Entrepreneur Patrick Grant, "I can't help feeling that we have had a Conservative government that has done more harm and less good to both the country and the general population, than any government in my 50 years" "Most governments in the past, whatever way you vote, you could probably point to something they've done something better for somebody" "But I genuinely can't think of anything this government has done that has made anything better for anybody" "I could probably spend the next hour listing things that they've made worse"

Starvation is on the rise in Gaza. This is not about rhetoric. This is not about politics. This is about survival. That's why it’s a failure of humanity.
“They're seeing life being lost… in front of their eyes in the most dramatic fashion… This is about human survival.” @rescueorg calls the imminent famine in Gaza “a profound failure of humanity.” Here's my conversation with its CEO @DMiliband

Man throws petrol and lit matches into bin, then complains about the fire.
