A crime cannot be justified by another crime. A genocide cannot be covered up with another genocide. -Armin T. Wegner (1886 – 1978)

Great to see how well the new report into rent controls has landed! It saves renters money and it saves Govenrment money. And some of that money should be used on building new social housing stock, too! Win/win all around! 🙌🏽

Rent controls would save households up to £2,400 a year and the Government £2 billion a year. It's a no-brainer. But only the Green Party has a policy to introduce them.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

This is following the very same pattern of boycotting that brought down Apartheid South Africa. Israel is rightly being systematically isolated. The clock is ticking.

"These scenes were pretty sickening, of people being targeted essentially because of the colour of their skin.. most of the violence that took place last night that I could discern was in protestant, unionist, loyalist areas, it was almost exclusively in those areas"

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?

Warning ! The article contains video of yet another baby murdered by Israel ! Sam Abu Haikal was 7 months old. There will not be any justice for the grieving family's tragic loss. West Bank Palestinians have not been retaliating. There is no Hamas. No tunnels. So, why are they being murdered?

Video shows family’s car slowing before Israeli troops shot dead Palestinian baby

Footage appears to contradict Israeli military’s account of killing of seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in West Bank
