Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

If you're looking for a fun film to see at the cinema (and have always had the feeling that what a top-notch (Asian) wedding really needed was an action/martial arts/heist type narrative) - then I definitely recommend 'Polite Society'!

It’s a shame that it’s only in the pages of history now that we can find a Labour leader who is willing to take a principled stand against a cruel, oppressive and immoral immigration bill.

The Home Secretary, on the face of this Bill, invites Parliament to rip up international law. The only act of a Parliament that has any kind of moral integrity is to rip up her illegal & immoral Bill, which has no place on our statute book. #StopTheBill #RefugeeBanBill @JCWI_UK
