- Reposted by FranIt’s beyond outrageous that UK is continuing to supply arms to Israel, when there is - beyond all doubt - a “clear risk” they could be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law. What else are ministers waiting for? Unforgivable complicity
- Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law? Or just say “we did all we could.” youtube.com/shorts/ClNmA...

- Reposted by FranIsrael is preventing the WHO from sending incubators into Gaza. Think about how savage, how barbaric, how evil, you have to be to defend that and defend the government doing that.

- Reposted by FranWhy isn’t there a “coalition of the willing” to stop the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza?

- Reposted by FranI’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension. If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code — & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.
- Reposted by FranSomeone should tell all the far-right numbskulls waving flags around that VE Day is meant to be about celebrating the defeat of people like them.
- Reposted by FranVE Day is not the big news of the day. The rapid rise in global temperatures is. The problem is we have politicians who are living 80 years in the past and are utterly unable to comprehend the future. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

- Reposted by FranThe government is yet to respond to our call for a public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war on Gaza. This shocking report could explain why. When will the government come clean about the reality of arms exports to Israel?
- Reposted by FranDon't take it from me. Take it from the government's own assessment: Everything Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have said about nature protection blocking house building is big fat shining lie. A lie now being locked into legislation before Parliament. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Reposted by Fran‘The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.’ www.ft.com/content/f5fd...
- Reposted by FranIsrael is committing genocide in Gaza by seeking to starve its population. Western leaders, including those in the UK, are saying nothing of consequence about this. Why not? Have they really chosen to walk on the other side in the face of this atrocity? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...
- Reposted by FranThis is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
- Reposted by FranNetanyahu — wanted by the ICC for war crimes — has declared plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and annex Gaza. This follows 64 days of starving a besieged population by blocking food and aid. The UK must implement a full arms embargo and expel the Israeli Ambassador NOW.

- Reposted by FranIf this is what Starmer means when he says “I get it”, heaven help us …
- Reposted by FranWhy does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right. As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.
- Starmer bingo card: "I get it" "We need to deliver" "Hard working families" "Tough choices" "Difficult decisions " etc. etc...... all delivered in a weird adenoidal voice coming out of a weird plasticine face. Is Starmer an android?

- Reposted by FranWe have got so used to Farage and Reform that they feel mainstream, but Reform is a far right party & Britain is electing far right MPs and councillors.
- Reposted by FranThe bombing of Yemen because they support Palestinian human rights, and running covert support operations for Israel in the continuing genocide in Gaza and land grab there and in the West Bank, shows how far our government is complicit in these crimes. All Govt ministers should be held accountable.
- Reposted by FranArming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid. This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is a good enough reason to try and build a world of peace.

- Reposted by FranLabour likely to take a total drubbing in today’s election & it’s fully deserved. The lesson I fear they’ll fail to learn is: You cannot win on anti-migrant hatred. The right wing press will never tell their voters you have done enough. And meanwhile, of course, you lose all the rest of us #r4today

- Reposted by FranThe government's benefits cuts, two-child cap and freeze in Local Housing Allowance are all *false economies*. They don't save money. They merely push spending into different parts of the budget, while causing untold suffering. Cruel, perfomative and pointless. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

- Reposted by FranThe Govt’s #PlanningBill would allow developers to pay cash to trash wildlife & the environment. The nature levy isn’t a tool for ecological recovery - it’s a license to kill nature.

- Reposted by FranWill the media finally do their job & ask No.10 who blocked the arrest warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during his UK visit? It’s astonishing the PM insists he had no role in blocking a warrant for an unindicted war criminal. So who’s lying? Because someone is.
