I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

It doesn’t feel like it, but we’re in an era of uprising and resistance. The horrors and bad news can be overwhelming, but born out of necessity, born out of horror at genocide and disgust with fascism and being fed up with poverty and oppression, people are rising up around the world. In Greece a general strike this week against a 13-hour workday proposal brought the country to a halt. In Nepal a Gen-Z led uprising recently overthrew the government. An August wave of mass protest in Indonesia against corrupt elites shook the system to its core. In Madagascar protests against the government’s inability to provide basic services like water and electricity currently have the President on the verge of stepping down. France is, once again, wracked by huge nationwide protests against austerity.

Look around and you’ll see people rising up everywhere.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Osama. Osama is 27 and has degrees in business administration. He lost his home and job and is now supporting his extended family including nieces and nephews Mohammed, 11, Lena, 11, Zain, 5, Ghina, 2, Muhammad, 2, Amir, 1 and Masa, 7 months.

Recognising Palestine is not a substitute for stopping the genocide.

When I was in the West Bank, No Other Land’s Basil Adra told the devastating truth.

Nvidia says Britain will have to burn gas to power technology revolution The company chief executive Jensen Huang says the UK’s costly electricity means new data centres will rely on fossil fuel as well as renewable energy

"Britain must burn more fossil fuels and bills must rise in order to power the robot that'll fire everyone. How else will I afford my next private island?"

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Samar. Before the war Samar’s husband went to Europe- he’s currently stuck in limbo in Greece and not allowed to work. Samar has been taking care of their five children alone this whole time Rooz, 15, Razan, 13, Ahmed, 10, Abed, 8 and Hoor, 5.

Clir Mason R. Humberstone @M_Humberstone X.com I have just joined @reformparty_uk- here's why I've battled with this decision for some time. But deep down, I know it's the right call. It isn't ordinary, hardworking people in Stevenage and across our country who've left Labour - Labour has left us. The party I joined is lost, without vision, mired in scandal, and too often speaking for a metropolitan elite rather than the people they're meant to serve. When policies harm the British people and weaken our democracy, I cannot in good conscience support them. As Stevenage's youngest councillor, I entered politics to serve with integrity and respect. Today, I know I join a party that will put the British people and our great nation first. I feel proud to be part of this team and ready to get to work aK

I await explanations for how come politicians who were welcome in the main left wing party could defect directly to the posh National Front, and I suspect they won’t be “whoops we spent years fighting very to protect some absolutely vile right wing weirdos, against the left”.

The TUC has voted unanimously to "immediately end all arms trade and military collaboration with Israel in line with international law"

And "repeal the authoritarian proscription of Palestine Action under counter-terrorism laws and uphold and strengthen the right to peaceful protest"

Black Trans Academic Targeted and Fined for Pro-Palestine Speech Black trans academic suspended and fined for pro-Palestine/anti-z1onist speech.

Instead of writing think pieces pointing out the hypocrisies of free speech white nationalists, support a Black trans scholar who is being punished by their employer after the very same fascist zionist machine came after them: chuffed.org/project/1455...

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article detailed how an internal law enforcement bulletin said that ammunition recovered following the Charlie Kirk shooting was engraved with expressions of "transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Justice Department officials later urged caution about the bulletin by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, saying it may not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition, and the article was updated Thursday to reflect that. This editor's note was appended on Friday, Sept. 12, after Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the engravings included one that said "Hey fascist!" along with other messages and symbols. He gave no indication that the ammunition included any transgender references.

hi, cis folks!

the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction.

it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this.
