This could be important – life-saving – advice. Please share it as widely as possible while the cold continues.

Every time temperatures drop like this, rough sleepers risk their lives just trying to last the night, with the dangers only too real as the sad case of a man who froze to death in Birmingham before Christmas illustrates.

It’s natural to want to help if you see someone struggling – and they probably will appreciate the offer of a hot drink or some food. But what they really need is a place to get out of the rough weather – and you can provide this by alerting homelessness charity StreetLink to their location.

Emergency shelters have opened in London this week because of the cold, so the best thing you can do is make sure outreach volunteers know how to find anyone who may need them.

StreetLink operates across England and Wales, so you can get in touch with them about rough sleepers anywhere in these two countries.

In Scotland, local authorities are obliged to house homeless people that same day. Because of this, rough sleepers are dealt with on a town or city-by-city basis. Shelter has published a list of organisations you can contact for help depending on where in Scotland you are.

You can find them via their website here, download their app on your iPhone or Android. Making an online referral allows StreetLink to process it more efficiently and reach the homeless person more quickly. When you can’t report in-app or online, call their 24-hour hotline on 0300 500 0914.

The Conservative government’s post-Brexit assault on human rights won’t just affect the UK but could harm developing countries too, according to Amnesty International.

The organisation has warned that the Tories’ refusal to retain the EU’s Fundamental Charter of Rights as a part of UK law could be accompanied by an attempt to downplay human rights internationally, in order to gain favourable trade deals with foreign countries.

The Tories fought off an amendment to their EU Withdrawal Bill last month, rejecting an attempt to retain the provisions of the charter tabled in the name of Jeremy Corbyn, by 317 votes to 299.

This means that, from March 29, 2019, you can kiss goodbye to the following rights:

• The right to a private life,
• Freedom of speech,
• Equality provisions, and
• Employment rights governing how workers are treated.

Here’s what Amnesty has to say:

A rush to sign new trade deals means there is a growing, and very real, threat that the UK will ‘soft-pedal’ on human rights globally.

Our government’s failure to retain the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in domestic law will weaken the protections currently available to people. Furthermore, protections such as the right to equality, are also at risk.

But the problems run deep beyond our borders. The UK’s so-called ‘Global Britain’ drive to secure new trade deals as we prepare to leave the EU is leading to a heightened risk of the UK ministers downplaying human rights issues. They could be doing this even where countries currently have extremely poor human rights records.

In fact, it’s already happening. Just last month, China’s national newspaper The Global Times praised Prime Minister Theresa May for ‘resisting radical pressure at home’ to raise concerns over the treatment of democracy protesters in Hong Kong. Instead of shining a light on these serious abuses, May is focusing on trade and investment links with the world’s second-largest economy.

The UK needs to uphold the principles of fair trials, free speech and decent labour standards. As Brexit gets under way, we must not trade away our values and rights in our eagerness to sign new deals.

2017 was a year in which governments around the world were shamelessly turning the clock back on decades of hard-won protections. From the United Kingdom to the United States, and Iraq to South Sudan and Myanmar, it was a very troubling year for human rights.

This is brilliant and I’m delighted it seems to have started in my city of birth, Bristol:

Was rushing through Bristol to get home and out of the cold when I saw the street in front of me was filled with hats, gloves and scarves for those who don’t have a home to rush to. Each with a label: “I am not lost. If you need me take me.” Overwhelmed. #kbw #keepbristolwarm pic.twitter.com/RbgItMHBKp

— Sophie Smith-Holland (@SSmithHolland) February 25, 2018

The idea – leaving hats, gloves and scarves out for homeless people to use in order to keep warm – is excellent.

Can we start a fashion, here?

How about if people in every town and city where others are homeless put out warm clothing for them to use?

It might really stymie the Tories – who are undoubtedly hoping the cold snap will deprive more rough sleepers of their lives.

Compliments to Ms Riley for highlighting the terrible behaviour of Virgin Trains.

This is the same company that wrongly claimed Jeremy Corbyn was lying about there being no seats available, if you remember.

And it is currently running a TV ad campaign claiming that a journey on one of its trains is a paragon of comfort and relaxation.

It seems the Advertising Standards Authority ought to be contacted over this apparent deception.

Countdown’s Rachel Riley is a bit of a mathematical genius. Did you know though, she’s also a rather skilled corporate giant slayer? Because on Sunday 25 February, she publicly exposed Virgin Trains’ treatment of a disabled passenger.

Riley was aboard a packed, football ‘match day’ Virgin service. After initially complaining on Twitter about the “disgusting” and “horrible” conditions on her train, she rounded on Richard Branson’s train company over the treatment of a disabled passenger:

. @VirginTrains I’m on the floor next to a disabled lady who had to be helped onto the train, had a paid for seat but unable to get to it as train so rammed. Had to perch on table. Disgusting

— Rachel Riley (@RachelRileyRR) February 25, 2018

And after social media responded, Riley found the experience wasn’t a one off. And she may have set the cat amongst the pigeons with Virgin and its passengers:

Wow! SO many messages today of similar experiences on @VirginTrains Here’re your rights and where to complain & request a refund https://t.co/7PtiTqOpZO pic.twitter.com/av98suY0ka

All right – may have sold to Syria.

Back in September 2013, This Site published an article entitled Want to know who we’ll be asked to fight in a few years? Find out who’s buying our weapons now.

In it, I wrote: “If there’s one thing that all politicians believe, it seems, it is that history will teach us nothing.

“That’s the only explanation possible for Vince Cable selling the ingredients to make chemical weapons to Syria, 10 months into that country’s civil war.

“Does he not remember how the United States gave money, weapons and training to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war – then launched its own war against Iraq after that country got too big for its boots and invaded Kuwait? Does he not remember the 16 British firms that suppled weapons to that country?

“Now we have a Tory-led Coalition government that wanted to get into that morally-dodgy but lucrative weapons-selling action, it seems.

“So in January 2012, 10 months after violence erupted in Syria, Vince Cable licensed the exporting of potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride to the Syrian government – both chemicals being ingredients of nerve gas.

“The chemicals were sold under licences that specified they should be used for making aluminium structures like window frames – but the government has refused to identify the licence holders. Dodgy!

“Sarin, the gas thought to have been used in an attack last month that killed nearly 1,500 people, can be made from such ingredients.

“This means that, in the same way as the United States with Iraq, it is entirely possible that the Coalition government wanted British troops to attack Syria in response to a situation that the Coalition government created!”

The last paragraph referred to Parliament’s decision not to take military action against Syria in 2013. It had been proposed in order to deter combatants from using chemical weapons.

Now, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has again called for military action – if there is fresh “incontrovertible” evidence that chemical weapons have been used against civilians.

On the BBC’s Today programme, he said: “It’s very important to recognise there’s no military solution that we in the West can now impose.

“But what I think we need to ask ourselves as a country – and I think what we in the West need to ask ourselves – is can we allow the use of chemical weapons, the use of these illegal weapons to go unreprieved, unchecked, unpunished? And I don’t think we can.

“If there is incontrovertible evidence of the use of chemical weapons, verified by the Office of the Prevention of Chemical Weapons – if we know that it’s happened and we can demonstrate it, and if there is a proposal for action where the UK could be useful, then I think we should seriously consider it.”

That is exactly the same argument as the Coalition government wheeled out in 2013.

This Writer has no problem with deterring the use of chemical weapons. But there is a delicate balance of power over the Syrian conflict, as we saw in 2016 when the US and Russia seemed about to go to war over the fighting there. Is it worth the possibility of hostilities spreading beyond the Syrian border?

And underlying everything is the fact that Vince Cable – as part of the Coalition government of the Tories and the Liberal Democrats – sold the ingredients of chemical weapons to Syria.

Maybe those ingredients were used to create window frames – but it seems unlikely in a country where many buildings, let alone windows, have been shattered by warfare.

I am also reminded of the so-called ‘cycle of hate’:

It seems entirely likely that Vince Cable’s sale of chemical weapon ingredients to Syria corresponds with  “Allied based manufacturers supply weapons to the extremists”.

Mr Johnson would then be reacting to “Extremists use allied supplied weapons to attack western targets”.

If he gets his way, that would be “Allies react to extremism by bombing Middle Eastern targets”.

The result: “Middle Eastern targets are destroyed and civilians die.”

Then: “The behaviour of the allies angers the people whose lives have been destroyed.”

Then: “Some of these angry people are radicalised by extremist groups.”

And what happens then? “Allied based manufacturers supply weapons to the extremists.”

So Mr Johnson is trying to perpetuate the cycle of hate.

Here’s a thought:

Maybe it’s a better idea not to get involved.

This is a blow against the Tories’ plans for private companies to take over the whole of the National Health Service, piecemeal.

If it is allowed to stand after appeal, expect legislation or regulation to make it impossible for such a block to happen again.

The Tories will still claim they don’t have any interest in privatising healthcare in the UK.

But we must judge them by their actions, not their words.

A High Court ruling blocked Richard Branson’s Virgin Care from taking over children’s services in Lancashire. That’s because of the “considerable cost and disruption” it would cause the NHS.

Last year Virgin Care won a contract to privatise the county’s 0-19 Healthy Child Programme. The current provider of the service, Lancashire Care and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has delivered a successful legal challenge. In a victory for supporters of a public NHS, Justice Peter Fraser has suspended the outsourcing of the service to for-profit Virgin Care.

The legal challenge has overcome multiple hurdles. Conservative-led Lancashire County Council attemptedto lift the suspension with a claim the services would be left unmanned if Virgin Care didn’t take over. But Fraser rejected the application because the council actually has the power to extend the current contract.

Still, one more hurdle remains: Virgin Care will attempt to overthrow the challenge in April.

To say the Conservative propaganda operation swung into action like a well-oiled machine after Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit speech would be far too charitable. They wheeled Boris Johnson onto the BBC’s Today programme and he made a fool of himself, as usual.

In his speech, Mr Corbyn proposed “a” customs union between the UK and the European Union after Brexit. He said: “Labour would seek to negotiate a new comprehensive UK-EU customs union to ensure that there are no tariffs with Europe and to help avoid any need for a hard border in Northern Ireland.”

It is a solution that, if implemented, means calls by Brexiteers to scrap the Good Friday Agreement – the deal that has kept the peace in Northern Ireland for 20 years – would have been premature.

But never mind that! Mr Johnson turned up at the Today programme studio and tried to convince us all that the Tories could manage a hard border with Northern Ireland because “there is scope for pre-booking, electronic checks”.

He said: “There’s no border between … Camden and Westminster, but when I was mayor of London we anaesthetically and invisibly took hundreds of millions of pounds from people travelling between those two boroughs without any need for border checks.”

He was referring to the congestion charge for London traffic.

But, you know what?

The border between Northern Ireland and the Republic isn’t the same as an imaginary line on London’s streets. Nobody being asked to pay the congestion charge is likely to start a bombing campaign.

But the dissolution of the Good Friday Agreement because the Tories are too weak and stupid to see the danger could certainly re-spark sectarian hostilities – and they could spread to the mainland.

Hence this exchange on Twitter, in which I was involved:

There's no border between Camden and Westminster, says .@BorisJohnson comparing that with a place where there is one. He's pointless #bbcdp

— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) February 27, 2018

There is a huge bomb crater, from World War Two, in Passport to Pimlico. If Mr Johnson and his fellow #Brexit idiots – Brexidiots? – get their way, the UK might be littered with a swathe of new bomb craters. We need to think about that. #bbcdp

— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) February 27, 2018

Before anybody writes in, I’ve since checked and the bomb crater is caused by the detonation of an unexploded bomb from the war – which makes the comparison with the Troubles all the more relevant.

If Mr Johnson and his Brextremist friends get their way, the metaphorical unexploded bomb of renewed sectarian hostilities may transform into very real explosives.

That makes him – and the Conservatives who would rather ditch the Good Friday Agreement than accept that Labour has put forward a good idea – a danger to the citizens of the United Kingdom.

Unbelievable.

And unbelievably corrupt, if true:

Hey Folks ! Look who’s been given an humanitarian award ! Then have a guess who is part of the organisation that gives out the awards ? None other than @Jeremy_Hunt himself, he literally set up an awards event to award himself pic.twitter.com/ZZEM7MYzTd

— Natalie Rowe (@RealNatalieRowe) February 25, 2018

PROOF @Jeremy_Hunt organised an award show to award himself an Humanitarian award…. if anyone isn’t convinced he’s a psychopath, I don’t know what will https://t.co/aDK04NNJ5y

— Natalie Rowe (@RealNatalieRowe) February 25, 2018

Even if Mr Hunt didn’t arrange for himself to receive a bogus award; even if it is real (and that seems entirely unlikely) nobody worth your time believes the reasoning behind it. Here’s why:

Only Jeremy Hunt could oversee an unprecedented increase in excess deaths, 30,000 in 2015 alone linked to cuts to NHS and social care budgets, patients dying waiting for ambulances & dying in hospital corridors waiting to see a doctor & win a Humanitarian award for patient safety https://t.co/DcPnD4AXkw

— Peter Stefanovic (@PeterStefanovi2) February 25, 2018

Jeremy Hunt has single handedly made the NHS the least safe it has ever been.

The fact that he has won an award for that is quite simply perverse.

Please RT if you agree. https://t.co/ryriHiPpdP

— NHS Million (@NHSMillion) February 25, 2018

In the last 24 hours we've seen @BrandonLewis ignore his own social media guidelines. He wants an army of paid trolls. The grovelling from @bbradleymp going viral. Now Jeremy Hunt has awarded himself with a humanitarian award, while patients die on trollies in hospital corridors.

— Rachael Swindon (@Rachael_Swindon) February 25, 2018

Giving Jeremy Hunt an award for his work on patient safety is like giving Bashar al-Assad a Nobel Prize for his work on world peace. #NHS

— Marcus Chown (@marcuschown) February 25, 2018

A Fake News event sponsored by American Health companies gave a fake award to a fake Health Minister, who then had his department fake a congratulation for him.

— Nick Davis (@NickDavisGB) February 24, 2018

See, Jeremy Hunt and his fellow Tories can give themselves as many awards for good deeds as they want, but they don’t mean a thing if they haven’t actually performed any good deeds.

Jeremy Hunt has been awarded ‘Humanitarian Award’ at the World Patient Safety Summit for his global leadership on patient safety.

Campaigners have taken to social media to criticise the award after it was announced last month that the NHS is ‘haemorrhaging’ nurses, as for the first time in recent history more nurses are leaving the profession than joining, and senior A&E consultants raised concerns over patient safety as ‘patients are dying prematurely’ after being nursed in corridors.

If The Skwawkbox is right, then some of us have serious issues with Iain McNicol, never mind the fact that he is now Labour’s ex-general secretary.

The claim is that Mr McNicol refused to suspend two senior Labour figures in a West Midlands constituency, despite the fact that a string of serious allegations have been made against them about behaviour alleged to have happened over a considerable number of years.

I have no opinion about that particular matter; I don’t know enough about it.

But I do know Labour has been telling members like myself that any serious allegation is enough to justify suspension while an investigation takes place.

It only took a transparently false claim about anti-Semitic comments to suspend my membership of the party for nearly a year (so far). The two people in the West Midlands are accused of multiple serious allegations and they have been allowed to carry on as normal, we’re told.

That’s not good enough.

In case everybody has forgotten, this is the Labour Party – not the Conservatives.

There is no hierarchy beyond the organisational structures required to make the party function and everybody should be treated equally with regard to disciplinary procedures. There is no aristocracy in the Labour Party.

If Mr McNicol thought he had a special right to do as he pleased, support the corrupt, and suppress the innocent, then an investigation should be launched into his own behaviour.

My membership was suspended on suspicion; Mr McNicol should face the same treatment, until such time as this can be settled.

If anybody involved in the matters listed by Skwawkbox is reading this, please make it happen. Let’s have some justice.

This goes for me too. There’s more information in the source article that is well worth reading.

It is often said that Leave voters knew what they were voting for. Well, we thought we did – but for a lot of us, it’s not what we seem to be getting.

“Brexit means Brexit” is a phrase that’s become a bit of a joke. There are a thousand different ways to interpret – or misinterpret – a Leave vote.

What has become crystal clear, on the other hand, is that “remain means remain”. And the more I think about it, the more I realise that it is better than any of the Brexit alternatives currently on the table.

David Davis wisely said these words in a speech in 2012: “If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.”

Well David, I wish to change my mind, so why won’t you give me the opportunity to do so?
