ON THIS DAY 1911
Home Secretary Winston Churchill sent gunboats up the Mersey.
Bloody Sunday Liverpool.
Liverpool had been in the middle of a transport strike since June and on this day 85,00 people gathered at St George's Hall to listen to Tom Mann at a rally.
It was a a time of sectarian divide in the city, 3200 catholics had recently had to flee their homes in the Everton area but the city rose as one in 1911.
For no apparent reason troops and police baton charged the crowd resulting in many injuries and eventually two deaths in Vauxhall Rd.

Ashworth says it would cost £3bn to scrap the two child benefit cap & Labour can't just pluck that money out of thin air.
In other news, Labour has promised £3bn to Ukraine every year for as long as its needed. So they can pluck money out of thin air when they choose to.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 HAMAS STATEMENT:
“We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) appreciate the courageous stance of the Barcelona City Council, which decided to cut its ties with the occupation entity, rejecting the aggression and the genocide it is committing against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
We call upon cities and municipal councils around the world to follow what the Barcelona City Council has done in victory for humanity, for the values of freedom and justice, and for the right of peoples to self-determination, and in rejection of the zionist-Nazi occupation's massacres against children and unarmed civilians.”

Keir Starmer said a year ago that the Labour Party should be “the political wing of the British people”.
Well 76 per cent of the British public is calling for an immediate ceasefire. It’s time to be their political wing.

Don't think I've ever seen anything more sickening than Starmer and Blair SNIGGERING about not feeding hungry children and scrapping the child benefit cap
