Labour policy absolutely clear: Israel is an ally, they will continue to sell them arms and they don’t think they have done anything wrong.
Labour = supporters and defenders of genocide in Gaza.
Shadow minister Pat McFadden is clear - Israel is an ally, Labour aren't calling for a ban on arms sales to them, & if Labour win the next election they'll continue selling arms to them.

Reggie Yates’s Searching for Grenfell’s Lost Lives was very moving. The lives lost - included people born in Britain and those whose origins were in Syria, Morocco, Phillipines, and Latin America. The link was their class - working class London sacrificed at the alter of profit.

This is an excellent report of what life is like for Palestinians. What is shocking is that this truth rarely surfaces in the Western media. Where is Sunak, Braverman et al in denouncing this? Why are those pro-Israeli spokespeople not asked about this ‘hate’ and ‘extremism’?
This kind of reporting on mainstream outlets is few and far between. No one can defend this oppression in good faith.

Marketisation destroyed the British HE system. The rot started with New Labour and the introduction of fees. Then the removal of student control numbers & encouragement to let the market rip. Then the ‘league table’ approach of REF & TEF. The system has gone from boom to bust.
And universities are massive employers. If they go pop, so will the local economies of towns and cities near you. This will hit everyone, not just the universities themselves.
