โ4 out of 5 of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza.โ

The decimation of the #Gaza health system is a tragedy.
But in the face of constant insecurity and inflows of wounded patients, we see doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and more continue striving to save lives.
@WHO and our health partners will continue working side by side with you, delivering supplies, supporting the provision of care, and transferring the seriously wounded.
And we persist in calling for #CeasefireNow.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to ยฃ530m invested in Moderna.
Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.
Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

Here's a running thread of all the things the current Prime Minister cannot recall whilst under oath at the Covid Inquiry.
Some more understandable than others I'd humbly suggest.

Tonight, @RishiSunak and his Government chose to turn their backs on the children of #Gaza yet again. By failing to vote for a #CeasefireNOW at the UN Security Council, the UK is complicit in the horror that children will endure in the coming hours, days, and weeks.

Please donโt look away: Republicans are currently waging the *most* sustained, intense, & targeted war on disenfranchising Gen Z-ers from voting in 2024 that I have *ever* seen before. This is their new Jim Crow & we all must be alarmed & start giving this the attention it needs.

The 2p cut to National Insurance means ยฃ449 less tax paid by an average full-time employee, but this is almost entirely offset by frozen thresholds and other changes since 2021.
For others, these freezes will more than cancel out the 2p cut.
#AutumnStatement
ALT Chart shows annual change in employee taxes in 2024โ25 due to 2p NI cut, compared to other income tax & NI changes since 2021โ22. Title states: "The impact of tax freezes since 2021 largely or entirely outweighs the impact of todayโs 2p cut to NICs next year โ and the effect of freezes will continue to grow until they end in 2028."

The government has just pushed through a new regulation on election spending. At a single stroke it almost doubles the permitted spending in UK elections - with no debate, scrutiny or vote in Parliament.
