For almost 17 months, Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. This week, during Ramadan, it is again blocking aid - an act of collective punishment. The UK must do more. We must apply international law equally to all states, allies or not. Because all human lives are equal.

The BBC spent 20 mins of its evening news on the Holocaust commemorations at Auschwitz, telling us that the message of 'Never again' from survivors was still coming across 'loud and clear'. It then spent 4 mins on the 100,000s people in Gaza returning to the wasteland that were once their homes, family members still buried under the rubble. Clearly, the message of the Holocaust has not been heard by western leaders, who colluded in that 15-month orgy of destruction – nor by the BBC, which gave the genocide in Gaza the most cursory coverage possible.

Call for HESG discussants and chairs, and Registration, Bristol, UK dlvr.it/TGBpM6 #healtheconomics

A look at local newspapers shows why ‘overspend’ is such a big word in today’s new @1adass report. Financial pressures on councils are huge and that in turn affects how money is being spent, with money focused on meeting immediate needs rather than prevention. Thread ⬇️

Alongside @CIPFA, @Demos and @instituteforgov, we have today published a letter to Chancellor, @RachelReevesMP ahead of the Budget calling for changes to the Government’s fiscal framework to boost spending on prevention. Read more 👇 health.org.uk/news-and-comme…

We are also very excited about this. Please RT. Some fab speakers should provoke some interesting discussion.

A truly haunting image… back and forth they are moved. Through a landscape that’s ever more unbelievable.

The media is the fuel for bigotry. Racism disguised as patriotism.

We strongly condemn St Andrews’ dismissal of Stella Maris from the university governing board and demand her immediate reinstatement:

The spending plans for this year and beyond were going to need a top-up sooner or later. The 2021 Spending Review increases were front-loaded, and 2024/25 budgets always looked tight, even before the inflation spike. @MaxWarnerIFS and I wrote this in 2021!

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance… thelancet.com/journals/lance…

can’t believe the guy on the left is moaning instead of celebrating the milestone progress of him and the guy on the right having 2.5 umbrellas per capita
