Not one single mainstream news outlet has reported on this horrific and traumatising testimony from a UK Surgeon's experiences of working in Gaza.
"I did amputations on people who just had to take paracetamol after the operation as pain relief.. one of my colleagues took maggots out of a childs throat in intensive care" Yesterday Professor Mamode explained to MPs how Israel blocks medical aid from entering Gaza

Can someone tell me the last time people were enthusiastic about the opposition? There was genuine enthusiasm for Thatcher after Falklands I guess, but she was in government by then. Not much for her in 79. Certainly little enthusiasm for New Labour in 97, nor Cameron in 2010.

Absolutely shocking that just 25 arrests were made by the @metpoliceuk today following very serious violence by far-right thugs on the Tommy Robinson march attacking police and @AntiRacismDay protestors. Last weekend over 900 peaceful protestors were arrested for holding signs
