Atypical. Compassionate, caring & inclusive who can see what's coming but is ignored. Does not condone extremist/radical hate of any kind. No hate is ethical.

Helen won by 1,469 votes.
About 10,000 people in her constituency will rely on some form of benefit (in work and out of work).
Vote. Her. Out.

This MP has the world’s most unhealthy obsession with attacking the disabled.
It’s actually worrying.

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

Just see the double standard: four days after Russia invaded Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia. But after more than two years of bombing of Gaza leading to genocide, Israel is still playing. After more than 30 days of bombing of Iran and after more than 100 days of invasion of Venezuela, the USA is still playing. Sadly, hypocrisy is coded within Western DNA!

The US leaves NATO - fine. The US then also leaves military bases that it depends on for its operations such as Ramstein, Mildenhall, Lakenheth, Diego Garcia, the list goes on.
We'll see if the US is still a military superpower then.

NATO is a military defense alliance (including the US, Canada, Turkey, and 28 European countries). The EU is a separate economic/political union of 27 European nations only. Most EU members are in NATO, but not all NATO members are in the EU.
Article 5 (collective defense) was invoked once: after the 9/11 attacks on the US. Over 1,100 non-US NATO soldiers died in Afghanistan supporting America.

USA’s demand for allied support suggests the campaign is going worse than expected.
“Trump walked into one of the most combustible regions on earth convinced a quick win was within reach. This time, he appears to have miscalculated badly.”
NATO has little appetite for this kind of operation. It is a defensive alliance. This war serves Israeli regional interests more than anything else.
Trump’s threats come after 14 months of repeated shocks to the alliance. He has demanded control of Greenland, a Danish territory and NATO member. The US has cut financial support for Ukraine’s defense against Russia, forcing other NATO members to pay for American weapons. Trump has imposed punitive tariffs on allies. And Washington’s new national security strategy has been read in European capitals as ideological warfare against the continent.
Yet at the same time, Trump has been explicit that America will no longer fight wars far from home. America First. No foreign entanglements.
As with so much from this administration, the signals point in every direction at once.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues.
Ben Gvir belongs in The Hague.
URGENT: UN experts @FranceskAlbs and @profbensaul deplore #Israel’s adoption of the death penalty law which violates international law and risks discriminatory application against #Palestinians and call for its immediate repeal.

Curious, has anyone asked how the proposed benefits cuts will affect unpaid carers who CANNOT work due to having to provide round the clock care?

Benefits Green Paper cutting support for disabled people is next week. If you’re disabled or sick,or care for a disabled or sick person or simply care about the poorest in our society urgently contact your MP & tell them to drop these cuts plans altogether liveapp.inews.co.uk/category…
Been off here for a while. I'm shocked. More toxic than ever. Labour morphed into nasty party. Labour supporters defending indefensible. Disabled people feeling scared and suicidal. Labour supporters accusing them of wailing and fear mongering. #DisabilityBenefits

The Government is planning to unveil more than £6 billion of welfare cuts that will see even people with extreme disabilities lose money.
None of this is necessary. Billions could be raised by taxing the super-rich fairly.
Labour are choosing to punish the most vulnerable.

Spot the difference...
Labour want to force people into work by cutting disability benefits, a decision experts say will push 700,000 disabled households into poverty.
People voted for change, Keir, not more of the same Tory cruelty.
