Not a word of condemnation of Hamas and its indiscriminate murder of civilians in Israel today. I am grateful every day that you were so comprehensively defeated in 2019.
The unfolding events in Israel and Palestine are deeply alarming.
We need an immediate ceasefire and urgent de-escalation.
And we need a route out of this tragic cycle of violence: ending the occupation is the only means of achieving a just and lasting peace.

Good. They should all be kicked out if they don’t take their names off that absurd statement.
I understand that all 11 Labour MPs who signed the Stop The War statement (which criticised Nato) have been written to by the Shadow Chief Whip and asked to withdraw their signatures.

This is nonsense. The delay to the second dose massively increases the number of people we can vaccinate in Jan/Feb with first doses...and thus bring the pandemic to an end sooner.
Dangerous:
The government’s decisions to

• Mix and match the different brands giving you a different one for your second dose
Are dangerously anti-science & opposite of medical advice

Great to see concrete proposals to ban the vile practice of gay ‘conversion therapy’. It causes serious harm to vulnerable people and I look forward to seeing this become law next year.
🧵THREAD: Today the government finally publishes detailed plans to ban conversion therapy, three years after
@itvnews
first exposed the practice in the UK.
BUT a major loophole will allow conversion therapy to continue where an individual consents.

I imagine Blackford wrote that tweet before
@NicolaSturgeon
had even announced the policy.
