It's disturbing to see some young Jews, especially Americans who moved to Israel, echo Nazi rhetoric. American-born Jews also wield disproportionate influence within the settler movement, including some of its most violent extremist factions.

Burnham has been a disappointment so far imo, and the quoted post is yet another example why. And it's because he doesn't want to upset the hard of thinking "northern bloke" who loves a bit of ethno-nationalism. It won't be long before the "he's just Starmer with better social media" rot sets in.

Trump always admits corruption…The coincidences are now too numerous to ignore: trump publicly stated republicans would win three votes to every one democratic vote. Voters are reporting the machines are registering 3-1 when they vote!

Israel has launched a lockdown & military assault across the occupied West Bank. More than 400 Palestinian families forced out of their homes. Yet Andy Burnham’s government sanctions on illegal settlements won't come into effect until spring next year! TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! 😤

Beware of finance industry lobbying. It hired PwC (the firm that delivers dud audits) to produce a report, claiming that UK banks face highest rates of tax. The report included taxes not borne by banks. Omitted countries that levy higher rates of taxes. Integrity never gets in the way of profits.

This week, scientific publisher Taylor & Francis concluded an investigation which cleared Jason Arday, the former Professor of Sociology of Education at the University of Cambridge, of plagiarism. The Guardian hasn't commented.

The Scales ⚖️@shakethescales.bsky.social

The Guardian, which broke this story, kept it high on the agenda with daily reveals, opinion pieces and updates for two weeks, relentless exposure which clearly paid little attention to the duty of care towards the individual concerned. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The govt itself has admitted Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills or create many jobs. So I asked the PM: does Labour disagree with the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels must stay in the ground? Or was lobbying from the oil and gas lobby simply too difficult to ignore?

eperkin.bsky.social reposted

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

Sainsbury's has posted an annual profit of £1.02bn. It currently has 10,000 young people working for free, paid by you. With £1.02bn it could hire 105,905 people aged 18-20 for 16 hours a week all year. Why not MAKE the scumbags hire instead of giving them free workers?

The hunger in the Gaza Strip is part of the election campaign in Israel. Yulia Malinovsky, a Knesset member and candidate on behalf of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, led by Avigdor Lieberman, a right-wing opposition figure, blocked trucks carrying food aid to the Gaza Strip and prevented their entry.

Miatta can clearly see right from wrong but she's rowed into line twice with a Labour government siding with Shell and Donald Trump on climate vandalism, and into line now on cruel immigration reforms. What is the point of Labour if they can't even do the basics to protect people and the planet?

UK law requires companies to pay dividends from realized profits, must maintain capital. Law is poorly enforced. Water companies flout it. Carillon abused it. Now Govt proposes that dividends can be paid without capital maintenance. Madness to appease corporations.
