TRADE unionists and pensioners will mobilise on Monday to demand the government reverse its axing of the winter fuel allowance.

Unite, the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) and the Scottish Pensioners’ Forum will head a mass demonstration outside Parliament calling for the allowance to be restored to all pensioners.

During Labour’s annual conference last month, Unite defeated the party leadership when it won support for a motion demanding the restoration of the allowance and the introduction of a wealth tax to fund it.

The union is campaigning under the slogan “Defend the Winter Fuel Payment.”

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “The government’s winter fuel policy needs to be reversed. Picking the pockets of pensioners is not a tough choice — it is a mistake

Conservatives have praised Wes Streeting at their annual party conference, saying the Labour Health Secretary has shown “political courage” by recognising that “the NHS model isn’t working properly”.

George Freeman, the Tory MP for Mid Norfolk who has twice served as science, innovation and technology minister, was asked about the Labour government’s healthcare plans at a Monday fringe event on life sciences research.

“The new government have made very clear there’s a lot of continuity. I’m pretty cheered,” the Conservative MP replied.

He said that he had been in discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Science Secretary Peter Kyle about life sciences research and the health innovation economy. 

“I’m talking to Keir and Peter Kyle and others. They have been kind enough to say this is one of the areas they don’t view as part of the broken inheritance.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivers a statement on the situation in the Middle East from 10 Downing Street, London, October 1, 2024

THE Labour government has ordered 100 spy flights over Gaza to aid Israeli intelligence, an investigation by Declassified UK revealed today.

The intelligence-gathering flights began in December under the previous government.

Eleven flights took place in Labour’s first week in power, and during Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s first full month in office in August, the Royal Air Force (RAF) flew 42 flights over Gaza.

Declassified UK found that the flights were departing from Britain’s air base in Cyprus.

The flights may have gathered up to 500 hours of footage of Gaza, Declassified UK said, though it is unclear exactly where the British intelligence is going and what it comprises.

Britain ‘emboldening’ Israel to commit further atrocities

Smoke rises from neighbourhoods hit by Israeli airstrikes in Dahieh, Beirut, Lebanon, October 2, 2024

Starmer accused of hypocrisy for quickly condemning Iran’s missile attack on Israel, but not condeming Israel’s genocide in Gaza, strikes on the Iranian embassy, or attacks on civilians in Lebanon

BRITAIN was accused of emboldening Israel to commit further atrocities today.

Israel continued its murderous rampage across the Middle East, bombing Yemen, Syria, and Gaza over the last week.

Tel Aviv also invaded neighbouring Lebanon after killing over 1,000 people in the country in a fortnight.

Iran launched multiple missiles at Israeli targets on Tuesday evening in response, which was “utterly condemned” by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in a national address.

Affirming his support for Tel Aviv, he said: “We stand with Israel, and recognise her right to self-defence in the face of this aggression.”

Sir Keir emphasised the need for “de-escalation” in the region and called on Iran to “stop these attacks.”

That evening, Israel stepped up its bombardment of Gaza, which has already killed at least 40,000 Palestinians, murdering dozens more in attacks on an orphanage and a school-turned shelter.

Ben Jamal, director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said: “Keir Starmer was quick to announce he ‘completely condemns’ Iran’s missile strikes but he has never found these words to address Israel’s genocide in Gaza, strikes on the Iranian embassy, or attacks on civilians in Lebanon. The hypocrisy is stark.

“It is appalling that the UK government would ally itself with a state committing genocide and violating the sovereignty of neighbouring states though indiscriminate bombing that in past week alone have killed over 1,000 people, mostly civilians.”
