Bahiya was injured and displaced from northern #Gaza after an airstrike destroyed her home.

Every day, she walks with a bucket waiting in long lines for water.

For many people in Gaza, daily life has turned into an exhausting challenge. Yet they continue to endure with courage and determination.

Guardian view on Sir Jim Ratcliffe: Britain does not need political lectures from a billionaire tax exile | Editorial Editorial: Comments on the ‘colonisation of the UK’ by the co-owner of Manchester United were erroneous, crass and a gif

In 2020, Jim Ratcliffe moved his fortune to Monaco, saving himself an estimated £4 billion in tax.

In the same year, immigrants in the UK contributed around £20 billion in tax.

That says it all.

The UK had the best healthcare in the world in 2013.

Cut out privatisation, build hospitals and hire Doctors and Nurses and it will do again.
