The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Is that the same Jo Coburn who was an “unbiased” BBC presenter for years and years?

Jewish MP Gerald Kaufmann in Parliament in 2009. "My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead." "My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

Please help combat BBC news blackout of Green Party! @zackpolanski.bsky.social was the only party leader not interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their party conference. So please RT his cracking conference speech..

Zack Polanski said today he would unban Palestine Action, call the Genocide in Gaza Genocide, and end support to Israel. You can vote for him on the 8th October in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.

Michael Caine "I voted for Brexit... I'd rather be a poor master than a rich servant... You get lost, and then you find your way, and it will be alright." This Brexiteer lives in LA, has never been a poor anything, and there are zero consequences for his actions on him.

If the Home Secretary doesn't wake up and stomp on this, she's going to lose the rule of law in this country as well as the next election.

The media is full of Farage will do this, Farage will do that. Who gives a fuck? He is leader of a tiny party that is 3rd in the polls and slipping. Totally crass political propaganda

Thames Water has long passed its notice period. Labour can use its massive majority to nationalise it right now.

The Mother of British Aid Worker James Henderson who was murdered by an Israeli airstrike while delivering food in Gaza has demanded a ban of all weapon sales to Israel. His killers will never be brought to justice so this is the only justice James Henderson will ever get. Justice for Henderson.

Israel has been found guilty today in Geneva of war crimes including extermination, forcible transfer, starvation, torture and false imprisonment, sexual violence including rape... and many more If it was any other country than Israel all of Europe would boycott them. Instead there will be silence

I might be more inclined to take this #BrexitDisaster apologist seriously if he paid tax here. As it is he can FUCKRITEOFF 😡

Don't you just hate twats like this who keep taking Britain down ? He doesn't live here and we don't especially need him to. What do people like Ratcliffe with their constant whingeing and sniping really contribute to our public life anyway ?

He lives in Monaco. Who gives a shit about what he thinks about the UK? His opinion on UK immigration is as irrelevant as Trump’s. Why is this ‘news’?

Just imagine how much disinformation and micro targeting £72m gets you… Shame on the leaders who did nothing to protect democracy from the assault coming its way …as if we learnt nothing from Brexit.

Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

Please share this absolute no brainer…

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

When blackshirts are marching through the streets of Dover and Portsmouth, the focus shouldn’t be on the disruption they cause, but on their fascist ideology and deliberate intimidation of migrants and people of colour. [1/2]

Labour has banned peaceful protest for Palestine. It should not be hard for Andy Burnham to condemn thugs.

This government reminds me of Joe Biden. Biden didn't want to be the prosecute Trump president, he wanted to pass an infrastructure bill. Burnham doesn't want to be the take on the hard right PM, he wants to do social care reform and devo. But you have to do the task you're set or face disaster.

Just so: the last police chief who barred fascist football thugs from attending a match was subjected to six months of screaming abuse in parliament and the National press, he was hounded into retirement and he’s now being investigated to find out whether he’s secretly the catspaw of Islamists.

Once again, the biggest problem with violent far right thugs making our streets dangerous is not that they might not vote Labour.

just stop oil protesters got five years in jail for *planning* to do this to the M25.

UK media always asks the wrong questions. Instead of hounding high achieving people of colour , perhaps they'd consider asking why white people who fail spectacularly in government so easily walk into high paying media & consultancy work once they’ve exhausted that particular racket .

And non-residents. John Dyson; Jim Ratcliffe; John Cleese; Michael Platt; Eddie Hearn; Chris Harborne (Farage pal); Jon Harmsworth (Daily Mail); et al.

Referring to Palestine, Egyptian football coach Hossam Hassan: "In the country where kids are being killed, they wear the jerseys of Argentina, Barcelona, City, Real Madrid. These kids love you and they love football. But they are being killed and you're still silent." Preach.

“That was a Pity Political Broadcast on behalf of some whiny bitch.”

In one chapter of his book entitled 'The Art of the Bribe', Nigel Farage donor and convicted fraudster George Cottrell describes how politicians can be bought www.ft.com/content/7a0f...

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives." "But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

"Why should dark money interests be allowed to control British media? Apart from publications based in the UK, like the Morning Star, Big Issue, Daily Mirror and the Guardian, how many are owned by non-domiciles?" via Lorenzo Obi Abadinas

I am not SM’s biggest fan, but we who have a platform have a duty to talk about politicians (particularly if they are women of colour who are statistically more vulnerable) in a way that does not dog whistle the volatile and violent far-right. This is shameful behaviour by Allison Pearson.

The BBC speaking at length to Paul Ovenden this morning about Keir Starmer and the Labour party without at any point even mentioning, let alone questioning him, about his abusive behaviour that cost him his job

How come a president can sue while he’s in office, but people can’t sue him while he is in office?

The Courts have decided the Government can call anyone a terrorist with their ridiculous decision to keep the terrorist designation of Palestine Action. To be a terrorist no longer do you have to kill people, or even try to. You simply have to oppose the Government.

This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs. It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.

There is absolutely no reason to feature that gibberish from Farage - his party only has 10 MPs! Given far too much airtime for a party of that size! #bbcpm

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Gaza is not just destroyed buildings. Gaza is destroyed childhoods, destroyed memories, destroyed futures. The most painful part is not only what Israel has done to Gaza. It is how quietly the world allowed it to happen.”

9 years later not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell. But they can lock up people who inconvenience a Genocide for 24 years because they are 'terrorists'. The UK is a sick place and Justice is only for the rich to use against the poor.

...while telling the Pope off...

Farage hasn’t bothered to show up to the last 77 votes in Parliament. Exactly the same level of commitment he showed during his time as an MEP. But sure… make him PM. See how that works. Fucking idiots.
