John McDonnell fears 'people will lose their lives' if there are further austerity measures coming on top of the cuts to Winter Fuel Allowance in the Autumn benefits.

To understand why @Dis_PPL_Protest representing disabled people consider this important read John Pring’s book describing the suffering & loss of life caused by the brutality of the DWP. “The Department: How a Violent Government Bureaucracy Killed Hundreds and Hid the Evidence”

The 'substantial risk' criteria in the Work Capability Assessment provide vital protection for people with mental health problems who'd otherwise have to survive on a pittance & face punitive conditionality. The government should scrap plans to remove them

Please read the Rome Statute here & try telling me what is happening in northern Gaza is not a war crime. This isn’t Israel defending itself it is a mass war crime using weapons supplied by the UK. Now try telling me the UK is not complicit in war crimes.

Not sure what the fuss is about. Just a reminder that we changed Labour’s fiscal rule in 2019 to adopt public sector net worth as the method for assessing debt so that the value of the investment was taken into account in a realistic balance sheet approach to public investment.

I raised again the need to establish a scheme to evacuate seriously injured Palestinian children from Gaza for treatment in our country. We introduced a scheme for Ukrainian children & to extend that scheme to children from Gaza would be a small but important act of humanity.
