in this new era of #globalTradeWar and tariffs, maybe we don't need extra #airport capacity at all, as there will be no extra #business trips to accommodate? Also, transatlantic tourism is going down, as people don't want to spend their holidays in detention centres.
would be great if #starmer could join the dots ...

I'm slightly surprised the offender didn't get a whole life order in this case (3 #murders using an illegally obtained #firearm) even though he was young, but he will remain in #prison for longer than I am likely to be alive!

A national day of action was called in the UK in support of Palestine. Protests took place in over 40 towns and cities, from #Oxford to #Orkney - from #Liverpool to #Luton.
30k protested in #TrafalgarSquare. They brought with them flowers & kids' toys. When they left the Square at the end of the rally they went to lay these at #10Downing St. to commemorate the 1000s of #Palestinians murdered by Israel. Before leaving they held a spontaneous minute of silence.
