They were supposed to call me yesterday - the dr apparently couldn't get through but they must have dialled the number wrong as I had no missed calls and my phone has no issues. The person I spoke to when I called indicated I might be going back down the waiting list even though I DID NOTHING WRONG!

The doc's title, NAZA, comes from an Israeli military acronym used euphemistically to refer to civilians expected to be killed in a military attack. Several interviewees worked in a secret intelligence unit that reports directly to office of Israeli PM; one said their mission was to “thwart peace”.

Today’s report into early deaths of care leavers makes for painfully distressing reading. For too long, we’ve known that young people leaving care are being failed. The care leaving cliff edge is shattering young people’s lives, with often heartbreaking outcomes.

It's so blazingly obvious that this is true. A university lecturer being fired for plagiarism would not be national news >99% of the time. It was inflated into one this time purely because it fit into racist "culture war" narratives about "DEI".

Our joint statement with Jewish Greens regarding last week's "Great Israeli Real Estate Event". #GreenParty #Barnet

Barnet Green Party and Jewish Greens are shocked and upset that an event selling settlement property in the West Bank took place in a synagogue in Barnet.
Selling land in these settlements is illegal and contributes to the ethnic cleansing and dispossession of Palestinians and it is deeply shameful that such an event has taken place in our communities.

We believe that our communities should be safe spaces for all, and uphold the principles of justice and inclusion that are so important to the local community in Barnet and to Jewish communities in the UK.
We support our London Assembly members who have called for any profiteering from illegal land sales to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and we support such claims.
We affirm the principle that human rights and justice must apply equally to all.

It literally does not matter if we Jews are Indigenous to Occupied Palestine or not, because (a) multiple people can be indigenous to the same place, so indigeneity is not exclusivity, and (b) there's no "but we're from there" exceptions to the rule that apartheid and genocide are evil.

So start emailing your Reform councillor: bins, dog poo, potholes, roads, gullies, play areas, traffic, street lighting, town parking Whatever Ask for a 10 working day response Turn up to council meetings WITH A CLIPBOARD and take notes of who is there. we did this with our 100% tory town council.

Important data point here: “A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance”. The Greens have already hurt Labour even before any direct gains.

"Once immigration is fixed" is a very revealing phrase. It shows what a lot of Labour MPs (and the government) think of us. We are a problem to be solved, not members of the community like everyone else. And our lives must be made harder to satisfy some mythical Red Wall voters.

Post by Labour MP Antonia Bance:

"Secure borders and earned citizenship are red lines for Labour voters in the red wall. Beyond that, cost of living is everything. Loads of common ground between Labour voters across the country. Once immigration is fixed and so off the table in people’s minds, then we occupy that space"

The UK has a “hostile immigration environment” acutely felt by people who seek asylum. For queer folk, this means dealing with patronising interviews, bureaucratic disbelief, and narrow stereotypes about what it means to be gay.
