It's a little known fact that during WW2 when the UK was fighting the Nazis through Belgium/ France, Jewish/ pro-Israel terrorist groups Lehi and Irgun were attacking British forces. In 1944 they assassinated the British minister of state in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo.
This new electoral vรญdeo from Pedro Sรกnchez is quite something. Standing in front of Guernica defending the anti-war stance of his government, limiting military expenditure, denouncing the atrocity of Gaza. English subtitles.
BBC happily interviews lots of Zionists saying they are offended and fearful about Green Party rehashing a 1975 UN motion saying Zionism is racism
But not Palestinians living in apartheid Israel about discrimination they face in jobs, housing, education every day of their lives

UK Tory govt failures led to Covid spreading โlike wildfireโ in care homes.
Ministers lied. Residents sent home without protection.
43,000 died from Covid-19 in UK care homes between March 2020 and July 2022.
2016 Exercise Cygnus showed NHS couldn't cope with a flu pandemic. Govt did nothing.
UK govt can get information about your bank accounts if you get universal credit, pension credit, employment support allowance.
Court order not needed. You won't be told, can't appeal.
Same won't apply to enablers of illicit financial flows.
No financial privacy for old, poor, sick, unfortunate.
90% of Englandโs water industry is foreign-owned, including entities linked with the Chinese state.
The result is low investment, high bills, sewage in rivers, over 1,200 criminal convictions, harms to nature, health and national security.
Public ownership is needed.
Watch the Minister's reply.
Electricity costs put UK steelmakers in worst position against EU rivals.
Govt subsidising energy cost of 10,000 businesses via public purse. Others suffer too.
Govt not attending to real causes - faulty pricing formula based on cost of gas, profiteering by energy companies.
Nationalise energy.
The Labour Government are still continuing to arm a genocide.
They're still locking up pensioners who hold up cardboard signs.
And Palestinians are still being murdered every single day.
The Green Party will always unapologetically speak the truth.

You will hear a lot about the protests in France today, but Albania has practically collapsed with protestors controlling almost the entire country.
The Police are literally forming defensive lines outside the main Government offices while firing rubber bullets.
A last stand.
OPEN CALLS
Huda Ammori explained at our Open Call why Palestine Action chose direct action as its method for shutting down Israeli weapons factories on UK soil.
โMy own grandfather was assassinated by a British soldier during the colonisation of Palestine in the 1936 uprising.โ
The Tories have called for a 5 year freeze on the Minimum Wage to 'fix unemployment'.
Corporate profits in the UK are ยฃ680bn a year, enough to employ 25.1m people on the Minimum Wage full time, including NI payments.
There are only 1.8m unemployed people.
26 years ago Israel shot these two civilians as they hid from the IDF as Israel invaded the Gaza Strip.
Israel's killing has been going on non-stop since 1948 and even before that.
They don't want you to get richer, they want you to stay poor so they own everything.
Capitalism isn't about rewarding hard work, or competing to be the best.
It is about setting up a monopoly and rinsing you dry, over and over and over and over again.
Streeting says the UK is providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia because Houthis are attacking civilian targets there
Israel has been attacking civilian targets in Gaza for 3yrs & not only are you not providing Palestinians with military assistance, you're arming Israel!
Palestinian Lubna Speitan has had 56 of her relatives murdered by the Genocidal Israel in Gaza.
She called Zionism Racist, it's far worse than that, now Caroline Lucas is calling for her to be banned from the Green Party.
Disgusting.
While the Israeli military invades a Palestinian university in the occupied West Bank to demolish a memorial to Palestinian students the IDF has previously murdered, here in the UK our political & media class focus on telling us the Green Party are the problem.
For Obama, the grassroots were useful for one thing: getting out the vote. The last thing he wanted was for millions of activated voters to turn into activists who'd flame him and harangue him and picket him if they didn't like his compromises. Boy, did Obama ever compromise.

94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen OBE, arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @labouruk.bsky.social conference.
Her crime? Holding a piece of cardboard with the words โI oppose genocide - I support Palestine Actionโ on it.
She was among hundreds doing the same.
94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside
andy burnham's Labour Party conference.
UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns.
Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.
Welcome I suppose, but look: the time to recognise that most of these people work for gambling outfits, privatised utilities and tech companies, and that they protect those interests in exchange for sweet private sector jobs further down the line, was fifteen or ten years ago. It is too late now.
BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnhamโs Labour Party conference.
UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns.
Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.
Last June, Andy Burnham was on a platform with Del Naja in support of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, praising his โclarity and leadershipโ. Today, heโs having Rob arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a piece of paper.
Around 40% of the world's dirty money, proceeds of corruption and crime, is laundered through the UK, its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
Successive govts promise new laws and enforcement but they make little impact.
Why do govts continue to fail?
Watch the Minister's reply.
There is a lot of misinformation about the UK social security spending.
The chart below shows Total UK social security spending as a percentage of GDP, 2013/14 to 2030/31 (spending & forecast)
55% goes to pensioners, the remainder covers everything else.

Large part of the UK press has been on the wrong side of history, fuelling hatred, social divisions, supporting authoritarianism.
Their support for the current Blackshirts has a history (see below) as they continue to support the far-right

Here's the list of everything banned going into Gaza including.
Water Filters
Water Purification Tablets

It's a Genocide.
I recall the Guardian shitcanned Dawn Foster for telling their audience Watson was deliberately wrecking for factional gain, not giving a fuck about anything except himself and his mates. Shitcanned not because that wasnโt true - it was obviously correct - but it broke omertร .
You probably don't know but before 1964 nobody owned the seas surrounding the UK.
They were common land.
In 1964 they were all given to the King, so now all the Wind Turbines and Oil Rigs in the UK pay rent to him.
They should all be placed back under Government control.
It's a scam.
A short thread on โlegitimate concernsโ. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: peopleโs response to the arrival of asylum seekers.
Please read whole ๐งตbefore responding - thanks
The bunga rajah flowers for just one night. The blossoms start opening at twilight & wilt by sunrise. I guess they are pollinated by moths or bats. Beautiful flowers. I inherited this plant from someone from Sarawak.
I've walked past this path many times & never noticed it. Today I took a different route & ended up here. The oaks are all covered in moss. The hawthorns laden with berries & hung with ivy. Gorse & bracken on the tops.
In 2024-25 HMRC failed to collect ยฃ59.2bn of tax; ยฃ500bn since 2010.
ยฃ12.8bn lost through profit shifting by multinational corporations.
Promoters of a business rates avoidance scheme boasted that they have deprived local councils of ยฃ500m.
Billions can be raised by ending abuses.
