I read a lot, watch TV a lot and boast a lot about being from Yorkshire. Most would probably call me a woke lefty but I’m too old now to need a label. European to my core.

Israel is causing an ecological catastrophe as it bombs Gaza relentlessly, burns Palestinian fields, and diverts water and resources away from Palestinian land. Experts estimate that Israel has caused $148 billion in damages to the environment through its assault on Palestinian life and land.

FPTP works well if you have just two parties competing. But two party politics is dead in the UK. what is needed is a change in the parliamentary voting system and an end to the expectation that 35% share of the vote gets a huge majority. 35% of the vote should get a minority of seats.

Israel has issued forced evacuation orders to a dozen more villages in southern Lebanon. The U.N. warns over half of Lebanon’s 5.8 million people are in need of humanitarian aid, after Israeli strikes since March killed at least 2,700 people and displaced over a million from their homes.

The Israeli government is deliberately targeting journalists and medical staff. These are the people who will be best positioned, to give eyewitness accounts and document the things they have seen in the genocide. Israel wants to reduce the amount of people who can. The west support their actions.
