## Resource

From HS2 to Heathrow 3, via housing 101: what is going on with big building projects in Britain? Naomi, Alex and Kenny look at how Britain has been building trouble for itself – with top-drawer insight from Lib Dem MP and all-Parliamentary history-maker MP Layla Moran. And Layla brings her unique insight into the many issues surrounding Palestine and Palestinians – she really is must-listen. Plus your regular menu of smiles and happiness :-) ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** • The Philadelphia (green) story – Grin And Share It! • Find out more about Standing Together, working to build a majority within Israeli society that supports peace, equality and justice • What is Israel's E1 settlement? • Urge your MP to ban trade with illegal settlements • Watch Palestine 36 on Apple or Amazon • Get Policy of Deceit from our bookshop • Get A Line In The Sand from our bookshop • We have put together a brand new ⁠⁠⁠⁠BLUESKY STARTER PACK⁠⁠⁠⁠, if you would like to join us there. • Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠quietriotpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • Or visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.quietriotpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
