How can we hope he has a serious plan for ending "the terrible suffering of people in Gaza" when he can't even bring himself to name Israel as the genocidal aggressor causing the suffering? We need concrete action - a full arms embargo and an end to trade with illegal settlements.

Here's the text from the image: --- It is a great honour and privilege to have been appointed by the Prime Minister to serve as Foreign Secretary. My parents came to Britain as Jewish refugees from the Nazis. To them, Britain was both a sanctuary and a beacon of hope in the global fight against fascism. I will carry my parents' faith in that spirit of Britain to my role representing our country. I will be a Foreign Secretary who fights for Britain's interests and our values of democracy, freedom and the rule of law on the world stage. Today, as we face a time of greater instability and threat to international law and democracy than at any time since the Second World War, these values are more important than ever. From Russia's illegal war in Ukraine to conflict in the Middle East, time and again we have seen the consequences of a more dangerous world in the cost of living crisis that families and businesses face. For Britain, that means we must work with others to defend the principles that we cherish, because it is in our national interest to do so, building on the excellent work of my predecessors and friends, Yvette Cooper and David Lammy. I will seek to deepen and strengthen our strategic alliance with the European Union which is so important for our prosperity and security and at the same time nurture our strong, enduring and essential alliance with the United States. I will uphold our commitment to multilateral institutions from NATO to the UN as well as working with global partners, particularly in the Global South. Pursuing our interests and values means continuing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine against Russia's illegal invasion, as Britain has done for the last four years. It means playing our part to seek to end the conflict in Iran and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. It must also mean working tirelessly to seek a sustainable peace in Palestine and Israel, including an end to the terrible sufferi *20 July 2026*

That “small majority” is still bigger than the “majority” that voted to leave!! Brexit was ridiculously stupid and the fact we smashed everything up because of such a small vote difference in an ADVISORY referendum will never not make me angry.

A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids… Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis And yet when they’re Palestinians… Utterly utterly shameful.

I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action. Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

End the sewage pollution scandal

We're sick of it. Sick of the lies, sick of the greed, and sick of a system rigged against us. This is a scandal and this dirty business must end. For more than 30 years water companies have put corpo...

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

The looming shutdown of the Department of Education is about control, not reform. As @teacherscollege.bsky.social faculty warn, dismantling education stifles critical thinking and undermines democracy. When politics dictate learning, society pays the price. #AcademicFreedom #EducationMatters #USPol

The so-called school choice and voucher systems were set up to further starve down already cash-strapped public schools. The goal: To widen the chasm between the rich and the poor. #AcademicSky #EduSky

The Arizona school voucher scheme has blown a massive hole in the state budget. In 2025, vouchers for private schools will be responsible for a $1.4 billion state budget deficit and for a funding loss of 300K per school in the state. Vouchers are a scam. www.propublica.org/article/ariz...
