Admidst their internal party politics, Labour have done nothing to redress how Cameron stuffed the BBC full of right-wing political bias.
They have done nothing to effect proper #MediaReform.

It is painful to witness the images coming from the West Bank. The Israeli destructive machine stops at nothing: it uproots entire olive groves, erases years of labor, and devastates what for Palestinians represents life, history, and identity.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a primary architect & driving force behind the organized movement that ultimately won American women the right to vote in 1920.
