It's funny how good the Labour Party is at "liberalising" things like gambling and boozing when there are multi-billion industries backing it, and so bloody awful at liberalising anything else.

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

Streeting talks about the desperate situation in Gaza & Palestinian babies fighting for their lives

So you'll stop all arms exports to Israel? No
So you'll impose sanctions? No
So you'll end all military ties? No

So just empty words from a govt minister complicit in genocide

Wes Streeting: 12 Palestinian babies are fighting for their lives so "that underscores whats at stake"

So will you:

a) Stop arming Israel, end all military ties with them & introduce sanctions

b) Keep arming Israel, keep all military ties & refuse to introduce sanctions

I feel it’s very irresponsible and inflammatory to accept donations from extremely partisan pro-Israel billionaires to help wreck your own party, then conceal them from the authorities while booting the pro-Palestine left for antisemitism, while you facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people.

BREAKING: At least 29 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since dawn, medical sources in the besieged enclave's hospitals told Al Jazeera.

Yesterday Israel bombed a house in Nuseirat and murdered a family of 9 - mum, dad and their children, all killed.

Hind Khoudary reporting a few minutes ago.

Drop Site contributor Jeremy Loffredo shares more details:

Labour politicians trying to wash their responsibilities for genocide by getting photo oops for Palestinian statehood recognition - all whilst they remain supportive of arms sales for the slaughter and lead authoritarian crackdowns on dissent. They think we're fucking stupid.

Speaking outside what will become the Palestinian embassy,
Husam Zomlot calls for an end to the genocide, comprehensive sanctions & a full arms embargo

The camera pans to Wes Streeting, who is shamelessly alongside. Streeting, who denies genocide & is part of a govt complicit in it

Who should hit that button? The members of congress who let the previous President unconditionally kill thousands of Palestinians, multiple times, or the ones who let this one do the exact same thing? Who in Congress gives a shit about the U.S. killing unlimited brown & Black people? Who?

Led By Donkeys: “We’ve done, I reckon, 25 or 30 projections since we’ve been going. Often the police come along and we have a chat to them, and they even have a laugh with us and occasionally tell us to not do it. But no one’s been arrested before” - for your “Actually worse than Tories” folder

It was fucking embarrassing watching 'leftists' mourn the loss of Rayner the other week.

The News Agents • @newsagents.... • 3m "When I ask about how Starmer is doing, it's not just anger, you get some people laughing." Can Starmer survive if the dire local election poll predictions prove right?

Wow that’s crazy. Who told the public these people would be great in government, and said the nation was crying out for this style of politics? When are those people getting punted out of their sweet, well-remunerated commentary gigs and onto obituaries

Gabriel Milland • @gabrielmilland.b... • 11m Suggestion for any parliamentarians who see this. Put down a PQ to the Cabinet Office to ask them if an assessment has been made of whether use of X is compatible with GCS propriety rules, the Civil Service Code and the PSED. And if not, why not.

Making this all about X The Everything App as the core issue - and not about the actions of British politicians and media outlets - is a helpful way of externalising the problem away from e.g. journalists who spent years writing migrant-terror articles for the Express. Like Gabriel did, for example.

"we are witnessing war crime after war crime. When will the impunity stop? While the British govt continue to send arms to Israel, receive their ministers & refuse to take meaningful action to uphold intl law, they are complicit in genocide"

Micaela Tracey-Ramos from @unisontheunion.bsky.social

Every now and then they just openly say "the value of this brown person is that they'll give us more latitude for our racist policies".

Stupidest fucking people in britain

The Guardian article headline referring to the fact that Greta Thunberg says Keir Starmer (the genocide-supporting man representing the UK) has a legal duty to stop the Gaza genocide.

Says international law, The Guardian, not the random activist girl risking her life while explaining the law to a career lawyer that chooses to ignore the law to protect a genocide on behalf of a genocidal third party. She's quoting international law, it's not her opinion.

Cas Mudde @casmudde.bsky.social • 12h Sanchez is completely right and the EU as well as individual European countries will pay the price for years to come. Their complicity on Gaza has cost Europe significant soft power in the Global South.

This is only a failure if you assume the purpose was to prevent genocide and uphold the international legal framework. If instead the purpose all along was to give America whatever it demands with a minimum of domestic political damage, then I’d say it’s been at least a partial success.

What is a reactionary centrist, and does the UK have them? A term favoured by US progressives can help us understand Britain’s drift to the right

You might ask why this guy can see the plainly obvious right in front of his face, when so many of his colleagues can’t. And the answer is, he hasn’t been living his Britain so he didn’t spend the years since e.g. the anti-austerity protests slow-cooking his brain with reactionary horseshit.

Journalist Islam Abed was killed four days ago, on August 31st, in an Israeli air-strike at Gaza City:

A lot of smart commentary types went real quiet with that horseshoe theory bullshit, didn’t they

I wonder how many Labour activists at the General Election thought "In less than 18 months, the party I'm working my arse off for will be nodding along politely to policies previously associated with the BNP and National Front."

I feel like there should be at least some concerted attempt by professionals to explain how something like this could possibly happen, rather than the eye rolling and quiet “what the fuck”s we’re currently getting

I know some of you white centrists have a hard time believing middle class professionals like Keir Starmer can be racist but if you actually talked to people of colour you might understand that it’s more common than you’d think

Even more egregious is his nepo failson Will Straw. He told Black people we were ignorant for objecting to his picture with blackface morris dancers when he failed to win a seat, then led the campaign to stay in the EU (lol) was a director at a think tank and is now a charity CEO. Fuckkk offffff

Remember when this guy told us the Met police was “no longer institutionally racist” let Pinochet return to Chile, wouldn’t speak to his constituents if they were wearing a niqab, called child sexual abuse survivors “easy meat” and was key in making the case for war in Iraq?

Ash Sarkar: "this genocidal war is an international project"

Absolutely. This genocide isn't just Israels & the politicians & pundits from the US, UK & others who think the world will go back to 'normal' once its over are deluded. You actively participated in genocide.

He’s a racist, it’s okay to say it

Liberalism's Death Rattle The September deadline set by France, the UK, Australia and Canada for Israel to stop its genocide and commit to a two-state solution is fast approaching.

This is the end of western liberalism. You can't support an openly declared final solution and continue trading on the same old lines about human rights, equality and justice. Gaza has driven a stake through the dank, rotten heart of liberal ideology. My latest open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...
