Eva Ladipo (Guardian) - Us Germans should be opponents of vengeance and retribution. We shouldn't fan the flames by committiing ourselves to one beleaguered community over another, nor exporting weapons to Israel and backing Israel at the UN.
Guardian Letter - David Cameron, saying Israel has a right of response to Iran, while ignoring the bombing of the Iranian consulate, shows the Tories' one-sidedness. [Are Labour much better? Ed.].
"On the basis of completely unverified Israeli claims, some governments immediately cut funding to UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Britain has still not renewed it." Mark Seddon, University of Buckingham.
Surely a question for Panorama's John Ware to investigate? prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/65…
In a sign of Modi’s growing authoritarianism, the veteran journalist Amrit Wilson has been banned from India and labelled a threat to the state. Her crime? Writing in support of India’s farmers’ protests for Tribune. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/solida…
Can you imagine the response from talking heads in the U.K. if this was happening with Trump in the White House? It would be fascism, end of American democracy, end of America, end of the world… But Biden is in office, so no big deal.

Ruling elites in the West can only maintain power at a time when they are so unrepresentative of their citizens, when they alone benefit from our broken corrupt murderous political systems, is to destroy freedom of speech, protest & political action. We will continue to resist!

RT if you don't trust the @UKLabour leader @Keir_Starmer.
"Research by YouGov shows that 943,000 tenants had been served no-fault eviction notices since April 2019, equivalent to more than 500 renters a day. Almost 85,000 of these renters were at risk of homelessness." [Guardian].
Guardian Editorial (2) - "The only realistic approach (to migration) is long-term and multilateral, involving cooperation with governments across Europe and beyond. Re-establishing safe and legal routes for people seeking refugee status is an essential first step."
Guardian Editorial (1) - The Council of Europe's human rights watchdog has condemned the Rwanda Bill. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has described it as a "worrying global precedent."
🚨ICYMI Last month the @Telegraph broke bombshell allegations of vote-rigging via #Anonyvoter in Labour's Parliamentary selections. Since then, we've had zero investigations & zero answers. I wrote on this democratic scandal for @tribunemagazine 🔽 tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/starme…
UK accused by Amnesty of ‘deliberately destabilising’ human rights globally: Rights chief also warns Britain will be ‘judged harshly by history for its failure to help prevent civilian slaughter in Gaza’ theguardian.com/global-develop…
New Starmer U turn: March 31 - Labour promises "tough measures" on polluting water companies (see below). April 24 - Labour votes with Tories against enforcement actions, financial sanctions and even "publicising compliance failure" if they're deemed "damaging to growth."

When we draw the link between the antisemitism weaponisation directed at @jeremycorbyn & grassroots socialists from 2015/16 onwards & similar methods being applied to smear pro-Palestinian protestors now, we are not doing it to say ‘I told you so’ but to show how power operates.
Previously ministers claimed that anyone whose appeal was successful would be returned to Britain. Now that they have pushed their terrible Bill through, the story has changed.
Another excellent blog from Stewart Purvis, a former Ofcom official, on the absurd mess Ofcom have got themselves into over GB News.

The relentless, punitive legal attacks against Palestine Action activists for disrupting Israel's war machine is a simple lesson about our country today — maintaining injustice abroad requires crushing dissent at home. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/palest…
Mick Lynch is 💯% right. There is not one single example of a successful Privatised Infrastructure or utility service.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has described it as a "worrying global precedent."
Guardian Editorial (2) - "The only realistic approach (to migration) is long-term and multilateral, involving cooperation with governments across Europe and beyond. Re-establishing safe and legal routes for people seeking refugee status is an essential first step."
"Research by YouGov shows that 943,000 tenants had been served no-fault eviction notices since April 2019, equivalent to more than 500 renters a day. Almost 85,000 of these renters were at risk of homelessness." [Guardian].
In March the House of Lords agreed amendments that would help IPP prisoners (one man still in prison - 18 years!! - for stealing a cigarette). But resentencing not backed by Tories (or Labour!! Ed.) - Guardian.
Imprisonment for Public Protection (also called "99-year sentence"), was introduced by Labour in 2003. IPP was abolished in 2012 - seen as a breach of human rights. 2,852 people remain in prison serving IPP sentences. (Guardian).
"Britain doesn't have a "sicknote culture." It has a record-high NHS waiting list, widespread food poverty, low benefit rates, huge housing costs, a broken social-care system, inadequate mental-health services." Frances Ryan, Guardian.
Response to Sunak: *UK statutory sick pay is low by international standards. *UK workers take fewer sick days than those in France, Germany,US. *Since pandemic disability benefit claimants increased 850,000, many suffering from anxiety/depression. [Guardian].
"The number of unpaid carers incurring large fines after falling foul of earnings rules, soared to more than 34,000 last year. Over a thousand individuals were told they owed between £5,000 and £20,000." Guardian.
"The "cliff edge" nature of carer's allowance penalties - and rigid enforcement policies - mean carers must repay their entire weekly £81.90 carer's allowance if they breach the £151-a-week earnings limit by even a penny." Guardian.
Lead up to 2015 Election visàvis now: *Labour fit to govern - 31%(now), 41%(then). *Labour understands the problems facing country - 39%(now), 52%(then). *Tories fit to govern - 15%(now), 51%(then). [Ipsos polling].
