It's all fair and well being the "Change Candidate" but you've got to have real change backing you up or the voters will drift.

"Bonds that fund weapons to slaughter innocent men, women and children.

UK MP Jeremy Corbyn & #EU MP Lynn Boylan on #Europe Pressuring Israel to Halt Atrocities in #Gaza
from #DemocracyNow!
"...The U.K. Labour government announced this week it is suspending free trade talks with #Israel and imposing sanctions on some #Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The European Union says it will also review its trade ties with #Israel.
“There’s been an enormous shift in public opinion, and it’s caused by utter revulsion at seeing emaciated children starve to death,” says #JeremyCorbyn, former #UK #Labour leader who now sits as an independent in the British Parliament.
“We have countries within the EU who are significant weapons providers to the Israeli state. If they wanted this conflict, this war and genocide to end tomorrow, then they need to stop supplying weapons to Israel,” says #Irish politician Lynn Boylan, a member of #SinnFéin who sits in the #EuropeanParliament.
