Quite. And imagine his shock when he finds out one of the major factors contributing to rising food prices was Brexit
The amount that food prices have risen is just insane.
They’re up 40% since 2019!
Much of this is directly due to the Tories’ and Labour’s crazy energy policies and big hikes in National Insurance.
They’re also both responsible for the ‘Packaging Tax’. The Tories created it, Labour enacted it.
It costs the average household £52 a year.
We’ll scrap it in our first Budget.
Altogether, with lower taxes, cheaper energy and less mad regulation, we’ll cut your food and shopping bills by £140 a year.

To whom it may concern, to the entire world, to every government, international institution, and so called humanitarian organization:
An infant in Gaza died this morning from the freezing cold.
A thousand curses upon this world, upon every government, every institution, and every organization that claims to defend human rights while allowing babies to freeze to death in miserable tents. You have abandoned an entire population to drown in rain, shiver through the winter, and die without even the most basic protection.
To hell with your empty statements, your endless condemnations, and your hypocritical speeches about humanity. Where are your consciences? Where is your humanity? How many more babies must die before you do something?
We demand the immediate entry of caravans, proper shelter, heating supplies, and basic necessities. Enough of this humiliation. Enough of these empty promises. Gaza's children are dying while the world watches.
May this world's silence forever haunt those who had the power to act and chose to do nothing. Shame on every single one of you.

Thank you. If this was literally anywhere else, flood-hit Gaza would have been deemed an emergency worthy of immediate international aid & Michael Buerk would be there describing it as a catastrophe of biblical proportions.

🚨 BREAKING: In just 24 hours, over 50 MPs have signed my new Parliamentary Motion calling for urgent action to get aid into flood-hit Gaza and for sanctions against Israeli officials and others responsible for blocking it.
We can’t afford to stay out much longer.

Ah yes, it was Cressida Dick who was in charge when the innocent Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead by her officers on a London tube.

Three years on amid a so-called ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza, Israeli authorities are still being urged by orgs like @UNICEF to allow in equipment and humanitarian aid which would provide some very very basic needs. All the gates into Gaza are firmly controlled by the Israeli authorities
Recent heavy rains in Gaza directly affected more than 106,000 people, damaging or destroying shelters, latrines, and belongings.
Three children aged four, five and eight were killed along with their mother over the weekend when a sand dune collapsed onto their tent in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, after heavy rainfall.
The deaths happened as families, exhausted by war and the protracted crisis, prepare to face a fourth winter under very dire conditions. Some 1.7 million displaced people are still living in tents, makeshift shelters, or damaged buildings exposed to flooding, cold and collapse.
The flooding caused by the heavy rains is compounding a sanitation crisis created by the war. No wastewater treatment plant in Gaza is currently operational.
UNICEF and partners are distributing tarpaulins, winter clothing, blankets, and hygiene supplies, clearing blocked sewers and stormwater basins, and installing sandbags at sites to mitigate the impact of flooding. In the past week alone, we reached at least 10,000 children with winter clothing and thermal blankets, distributed tarpaulins to families whose tents have flooded, and cleared sewage and stormwater at more than 50 locations.
The emergency response is vital but is not a long-term solution. Tents and tarpaulins offer little protection against severe storms, and damaged water and sanitation systems continue to put children’s health and lives at risk.
UNICEF urgently calls on the Israeli authorities to allow the immediate entry of pumps, generators, spare parts and other materials needed to repair water and sanitation infrastructure, including the Sheikh Radwan stormwater basin and the Sheikh Ejleen Wastewater Treatment Plant.
We urge the international community to join the call for the entry of all life-saving humanitarian supplies and equipment, and to provide urgent funding for UNICEF's winter response in Gaza.

‘The world is not just witnessing this tragedy; it is complicit through its silence’ says @Tamer_Alnoaizy as families already living in tents suffer more misery amid flooding and lack of sufficient basic aid being allowed in by the Israeli authorities
I broke down while filming these scenes. I couldn't bear the scale of the suffering unfolding before my eyes. I tried my best to amplify these families' voices, but what I witnessed was beyond words.
Children soaked, tents completely flooded, and families left exposed to the cold and rain. The world is not just witnessing this tragedy; it is complicit through its silence.
Watch the report for yourselves.

British politics is unique for the way it allows ludicrous novelty characters to share the stage.
Too few intelligent political dramas these days, but #TheGangofThree - about the relationship between Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey and Tony Crossman - well worth a trip to Chichester Festival Theatre when it opens tomorrow for a week. Next stop @YvonneArnaud Guildford from Nov 17.

Rapist Russell Brand will be behind bars for at least seven years, serving two-thirds of the 10-and-a-half sentence before he is eligible for parole.
More women come forward and there's another trial then, if convicted again, he could be in jail beyond 2033.
The shame of this is the media indulged this monster for so long and helped to elevate him to stardom.

The UK Govt has been given suggestions on how NOT to just stand by… with several ways to ensure suffering in Gaza is eased. @Caabu urged @Ed_Miliband and the UK Govt to ensure that ‘Israel permits free and proper humanitarian access into Gaza. This includes using powers to sanction those who block life-saving humanitarian aid’.

Yet more hell for residents of Gaza. We urgently need aid & support in.
