Since the so-called "ceasefire" began almost a year ago, more than 1,100 people have been killed in Gaza. Tell PM Andy Burnham the time for words is over. Take real action for Palestine. Please sign and share 👇 @dotwuk.bsky.social petition.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/page/201860/...

PETITION: Palestine can’t wait, Prime Minister @andyburnham
Three years on, Gaza's hospitals are in ruins, and the so-called “ceasefire" has changed almost nothing. Tell the Prime Minister to take real action.

Also, it's insulting to those Jewish and Palestinian members who worked for a year on this detailed motion to reduce its content to a 'slogan'. Please read this longish thread from Jewish member Annie Gottfried-Cohen: bsky.app/profile/anns...

Previously unseen lobbying shows the oil and gas industry is misleading government on North Sea drilling. For now, it looks like Burnham is listening to them. Only a Green win tomorrow will force them to listen to us. New analysis from Influence Map 👇

We've won big this year - and our wins have forced the Labour government to change course. But we need far more and urgently. From climate action to an emergency brake on rents - we'll keep the pressure on to bring about the change this country needs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We have the chance to cut bills, end the sewage scandal and stop the rampant profiteering. But instead it's more half-measures, and kicking the issue into the long grass.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

If balaclava clad men taking over Dover dressed in black and calling for insurrection are not the very definition of terrorists than I don’t know what it’s. Burnham should proscribe them immediately. If they want to play at soldiers perhaps lock them up in disused army barracks somewhere.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.
