“Scapegoating vulnerable people has always been a deliberate ploy by the government to distract from its own domestic failures.

Today, it might be #asylum seekers.

Tomorrow, it could be #disabled people.

The next day, #trans people.

Whatever the minority, we are witnessing the demonisation of vulnerable people, to the grave detriment of us all.”

#Starmer’s #Labour government has laid itself wide open to these criticisms by #Corbyn.

Because it has turned against each of these groups.

"Home by home, hospital by hospital and generation by generation, we are not just witnessing a war; we are witnessing a #genocide—this time being livestreamed all over the world. Today, the death toll in #Gaza exceeds 61,000, and at least 110,000 people—one in 20 of the entire population—have been severely injured. Two Israeli officials are now wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity." -- Jeremy #Corbyn

Absolutely forensic speech here by Jeremy #Corbyn in the Commons last month on the #GazaGenocide that I completely missed (found it today while searching Hansard for details of the RAF surveillance flights).

Was this completely ignored by public media, or was I just not paying attention?
