Too many people with authority & influence demand again & again the Palestinians do this & that. The Palestinians are an occupied people. How abt starting with the Israelis commiting to ending occupation? That Israel recognise Palestine's right to exist? Israel are the oppressors.

There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging £8000 a month.

Andy Burnham promised to repeal Margaret Thatcher’s “ideological ban on public ownership of water companies". That's a very, very long way from a clear, simple "We shall renationalise the Water Industry", isn't it? 😢

My opinion: the proscription of Palestine Action was done almost entirely for political reasons, to sound tough on the issue, without really thinking the consequences through. Another example of Labour thinking like an opposition, not like a government.
