    200,000 refugees from Ukraine and they pat themselves on the back. One family of 6 from Gaza makes it through the system and its a major issue at PMQs! This is blatant, rotten, racism and they dont care if you see it. Labour & Tories are fighting each other for the racist votes
    PM Keir Starmer pledges to close loophole which let Gazans settle in UK bbc.in/419Lons

    I'm no fan of the SNP but events today were disgraceful. Of the 20 opposition days, they get 3 Labour get 17. It's supposed to be a day when the SNP set the agenda & debate. The lack of respect for democratic process was staggering, The lack of respect for Palestinians sickening.

    To me, this "apology" is worse than yesterday. Is he really trying to tell us that having the SNP motion could have led to MPs being killed but having the Labour amendment saved lives? He is gaslighting us and should resign now.
    “I don’t want another [terrorist] attack on this house” Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle announces there will be an emergency debate on Gaza and apologises for the part he played in the chaos yesterday, but says he was acting with the safety of MPs in mind.

    Members of the Parachute regiment were caught on film using a pic of Corbyn for target practice. Fin Taylor 'joked' on HIGNFY that Glastonbury should be bombed to kill Corbyn and his supporters. Jess Phillips 'joked' she would "stab Corbyn in the front". Taylor didnt say a word.
    In Parliament, I urged online music streaming services to remove Kneecap from their platforms on the grounds they appear to have called for the murder of MPs, and appear to have waved a terrorist flag. I also called for Corbyn to apologise for posing alongside them.

    this is how we meet them. One hour before Tommy Robinson is planning his "UK Rally" we occupy the space and face them head on. Bring your flags, your love, your noise and don't be intimidated by them - OUR STREETS!

    Four years ago today, one of the proudest moments of my life. Sitting in #KenmureStreet this morning on the anniverary. It was Priti Patel we were fighting that day, its now @Keir_Starmer and @YvetteCooperMP. Keep standing up, keep fighting back - these are our neighbours!

    every day's a school day. Did you know that the alcoves in tenements, the ones we use for shelves, were doors that the builders used to move between flats? They could travel right up and down the whole street through them when building the tenements.

    I know this woman, she is vulnerable. She is getting help now but I wanted to let people know that the landlord who did this is the guy who owns the 'orange' shop down from Ali Arms and the ice cream place next door

    Nicola Sturgeon is like anyone else whose long term relationship ends. Its not an easy thing to go through. I wish her well, hope she can soon enjoy a relatively peaceful and tranquil life. She has lived her whole adult life in public, give her some peace and some space ffs!

    There is a clear, coordinated and relentless campaign going on against @NicolaSturgeon from the right. It uses culture wars and misinformation, hatred of trans people, homophobia and disgraceful insinuations about her private life. Much of it is deeply sexist.
