Israel is expelling surviving Palestinians from Gaza and the world remains silent Israel already controls nearly 70% of Gaza's territory. They are systematically displacing the Palestinian population that still survives among the ruins. The major media barely mention it

Labour taking us on the path towards authoritarianism. Sadly I lost hope on them a long time ago. Luckily @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the @greenparty.org.uk have brought hope back. Another, better, future is possible, but not with @labouruk.bsky.social

Anushka Asthana observed this several times - how come Starmer was so generous and considerate to his peers, and yet he was a relentless bastard to everyone he considered inferior and beneath him? And the explanation should be obvious to anyone who’s had a job, or been to school.

Strange to be in a Labour Prime Minister sandwich. I'll be there talking about hope with a real plan for change. I'll be on stage being interviewed live in Edinburgh on Saturday 8th August at the fringe. Tickets below 👇🏽

Farage’s narcissism has handed Clacton a once in a century chance to make history: A chance to establish itself as a beacon of British good sense, humour and democracy by electing Count Binface. The World and his wife know who Farage is. Clacton voters will be derided forever if they reelect Farage.

I think the concept of 'Defensive strikes' are well understood by the UK Government.

While we've been living through extreme heat, wildfires and climate disruption, Equinor made £8.6bn in 3 months. Now Equinor and Shell want the go-ahead for the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field. Andy, stop Rosebank and tax polluters. Protect our future, not private profit.

You really have to give Mamdani credit for something else. But announcing that he was looking at whether his city could arrest Netanyahu, he forced the GOP to go on record and defend genocide. Great job, sir. #USDemocracy

Once again today we see who Farage really is, and what Reform really stands for. A leader who bends over backwards for billionaire donors, politicians using the Trumpian playbook, a party swimming in a sea of corruption. Britain deserves so much better than this.

Iran won't assassinate Trump because if they do someone competent might take over. And all the Liberals who claim to hate Trump will scream destroy Iran, despite the fact Iran has every right to do it because Trump assassinated their leader.

Oh what bad luck and what bad timing for the man who would be sniffing round for Farage's job if things went wrong. What are the odds that this should come to light this of all weeks? 🤔🤔🧐🧐

Great to deliver a speech & answer questions at the Local Government Association conference. Whilst Nigel Farage continues this farce against a man with a bin on his head, local councillors are getting on with making real changes in their communities. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Consider the degree of dehumanization necessary in order for Western media to not even consider this news. We're up against people who have lost touch with their humanity. #EndZionism #GazaHolocaust #SanctionIsrael #FreePalestine

They talk about Hezbollah as if it’s an alien force implanted by Iran, rather than an organic, indigenous and popular resistance group formed as a direct response to “Israeli” invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
