JOINT STATEMENT ON THE ATTACK ON #RAFAH , from 31 UK NGOs:

“The failure of our leaders to back words with meaningful action is glaring. As the 1.4 million people in Rafah face attacks that our leaders know would be catastrophic, they must finally act to stop the slaughter'.

I *THINK* I understand Starmer's strategy - I do not agree with it though.

If one Tory per week defects, it will be mid October before he has a working majority.

Meantime, the electorate will have lost trust in decency.

This could easily be a Tory power play.

A superb, unforgettable book. I think about Virginia Hall very often!

I know you have to read this, even though I’ve not read it yet! By the author of the brilliant: ‘A Woman of No Importance”, I promise you that this will be an absolute page-turner; I’ve been waiting for it…and have now ordered.

Asked if Natalie Elphicke was offered any jobs by Keir Starmer before defecting to Labour, his spokesman says that the party has been 'talking to her about her doing a role building on her experience in housing policy....'

Yes of course, she was a member not just of the ERG but if part of the far right successor group, the “New Conservatives” -Kruger, Cates, Jenkyns etc. Absolutely insane that she’s been allowed into Labour.

Anneliese Dodds, 'Natalie Elphicke is the third Conservative MP who decided that the right thing for her constituents is not to stick with a failing Conservative party, instead to join with Labour'

Cathy Newman, 'You're overjoyed to see her in the Labour party?'

Anneliese…

Natalie Elphicke tried defecting to me first but I said no. I’m taking the trash out, not in. #PMQs

I respect Macron because he doesn’t betray his values and beliefs. This actually matters…at least I think so.

Rees-Mogg next?

Natalie Elphicke, who has just been welcomed to the Labour Party by Sir Keir Starmer, cruelly and publicly tormented the victims of her sex offender ex-husband Charlie.

She claimed ***after his conviction*** that he had merely been punished for being 'attractive and attracted'…

Tory peer David Freud and the MPs Sir Roger Gale, Adam Holloway, Bob Stewart, Theresa Villiers and Natalie Elphicke.....

This is not a great look for Labour to be honest. Elphicke has always seemingly been on the hard right of the party when it concerns immigration, including spending Christmas day a couple of years back ranting about being seeking asylum in the UK. 1/

Seriously? How can The Labour Party possibly accept her?

Le 8 mai 1945 marquait la fin d'une période de terreur indélébile. Il ouvrait au même moment une ère de paix que nous devons à tout prix préserver.

Que la flamme du Soldat inconnu ne cesse de raviver cette mémoire.

When I was a student between 1986-1989, I read these predictions. None of this is new. Criminal negligence and greed.
