If the government was truly horrified by Israel’s occupation of Gaza, it would stop supplying them with the weapons they need to carry it out.
The Prime Minister can condemn Israel’s plans all he wants. He cannot hide the truth: his government is complicit in genocide.

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.
It is not a threat.
It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.
Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it.

The UK has abstained on a UN resolution demanding an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine.
A shameful chapter in this government's ongoing contempt for international law and the dignity of Palestinians.
End the occupation. Free Palestine.

There are two levels of madness happening re Black British music representation on the radio.
1. You have an ecosystem of artists PAYING people to try and get their music on the playlists of these stations. For most this is a complete waste of money but I don’t blame them for trying. But this is taking away limited resources artists have to get their ideas off the ground.
2. We, the licence payers are PAYING for music from America sometimes over 20 years old to be played during peak listening hours. When we have 100s of active artists and 60 years of our own musical history here not represented.

Had #Grenfell Tower been a luxury apartment block housing wealthy people, I'm pretty sure that the prosecution and conviction of those who enabled the disaster would have happened by now.

Dems think they can swap out Georgia for Michigan and give up Michigan - all to avoid Gaza - the stakes of this election are democracy itself - so that means Dems are putting Netanyahu and his war crimes and genoicide as a priority over democracy itself .
