Reposted by BerdJeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · 31/03/2025It has been more than a month since we pointed out that the government was contradicting itself over its denial of genocide in Gaza. We have still not received a response. We know why: the government wants to hide its complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. 11628228 0
