Keir Starmer is racist, transphobic. Islamophobic and ableist. It’s okay to say it. He is the Prime Minister for bigots. No one else matters.

After yesterdays events, a reminder that all 9 SNP MPs & 4 Plaid Cymru MPs abstained in the vote on whether to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. All 72 Lib Dem MPs abstained too (6 of them abstained by voting for & against)

Only 22 MP's voted against the ban

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

At the same time as the Mirror published Keir Starmer's view of the "horrifying" situation in Gaza, yet another of his spy planes was heading for Gaza, working for Israeli intelligence.

Former senior UN relief official Jan Eliasson has dismissed these air drops as an "ineffective sideshow". But of course, they're not aimed at stopping the genocide. Nothing Starmer does is aimed at stopping the genocide. Its aimed at managing the domestic politics of his complicity in the genocide.

Anti-fascists massively outnumber the fascist-led demonstration in Epping today.

#RefugeesWelcome

Why are hundreds of thousands of people indicating an interest in a new left wing political party that doesn't even have a name yet?

In other news, #trevorphillips decides the progressive voice the nation needs to hear from is Sonia Sodha. Panel 27.07.25

Thread by Paul Mason accusing the KPD paved the way for Hitler

This is a dangerous rewriting of history

What put Hitler in power was the foolish idea that he could be used temporarily to counter the left

If there is a similarity to our current predicament, it is there, in the hyping of the far right to prevent seeking radical alternatives

Tweet from Pippa Crerar on Sep 24, 2024 during the Labour conference: "Keir Starmer’s speech, rather predictably, gets interrupted by heckler. PM: “Every child, every person, deserves to be respected for the contribution they make..” Heckler: “Does that include the children of Gaza?” PM: “This guy has obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference”"

Let's just take a moment to remember when Starmer played the deaths of children in Gaza for laughs

Holding important meetings, lamenting bad things, urging people to do good things. The same routine for 20 months. And all the while the arms exports continue, the surveillance flights continue, trade and investment continues, normal diplomatic relations continue. Complicity in genocide continues.

CND calls for transparency on 'nuclear weapons' to RAF Lakenheath Flight data shows a transporter travelling from the United States to Suffolk.

A week on from the arrival of US nuclear bombs to RAF Lakenheath and Keir Starmer still has not made a statement to the public. 61% of us don't want US nukes on British soil. It's time to end the secrecy and for MPs to vote on this dangerous deployment.

I am saying they should fight the cuts, and should not impose cuts on public services. I'm not saying they should make up the deficit themselves - You've imagined that bit.

Show me where I've suggested anything like that.

Extract from Guardian story which reads: In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant. Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far. These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly "safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

NEW: Gaza hospitals now fill with children just the width of their bones. Doctors faint from hunger doing rounds & journalists trying to document cases are too weak to walk the wards [WaPo]

Meanwhile, Israeli quadcopters hover over shelter tents shooting mothers while they breastfeed [Guardian].

🧵

So fight. Don't just pass on the cuts like all the other parties.

funny that journalists have already lost their shit more at the fake news that the new party is called Your Party than they did collectively over one centrist party being called
The Independent Group
Change UK
The Independent Group for Change
before splintering into
The Independents

within 6 months

Greens are imposing austerity cuts where they have power. We should fight them where they do this.

It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you.

My pitch here is: if we think children are spending too much time online/attached to screens, then lets give them something to do that isn't slop consumption! Maybe we could allow them to exist in public without being treated with suspicion for one?

I don’t think Germany’s staunch support of Israel is merely ideological or rooted in post-WW2 guilt. I think it is largely strategic. I think it is planning for a world where Germany wishes to suppress or expel much of its non-white population. The Nazis are at 25% in the polls, for goodness’ sake.

If your ad does more to humanise the guy who wants to shoot refugees than to humanise the refugees themselves then something's gone wrong somewhere hasn't it?

The Essex town hit by divisive protests over asylum seekers hotel Protests outside a hotel are dividing residents in an Essex town.

Not to keep banging on about the broader class makeup of this movement beyond the handful of very deprived people being used as the speartip, but the three voxpops in this piece supporting the "protests" are a 60+ yo company director, a 70+ yo retired magistrate, and a 50+ yo finance manager.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Anything from Labour govt on literal fascist groups attacking cops and hotel workers in Epping?
Or are they too busy punishing a black MP ?

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation.

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win.

Email from Avon and Somerset Police to Kneecap legal team: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Regards, Detective Superintendent [Name redacted]"

So are we gonna talk about the fact there’s been two attacks on people seeking asylum living in hotels in the last week by a group of racists or are we just going to
focus on Diane Abbott

Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner "taking the knee"

me when I'm withdrawing the whip from the country's first black woman MP for repeatedly saying that being black means she experiences racism differently from people who aren't black
