Robert Jenrick names judges he would sack for ‘pro-migrant bias' The shadow justice secretary has accused 'activists' within the judiciary of having links to political causes that compromise their independence

In the current climate of far right hostility, Jenrick is actively inciting violence against these judges with this. Badenoch may have defended his explicit racism yesterday, but this alone should see him lose both his position as shadow justice secretary and the whip immediately.

For the benefit of Starmer, Barnett and all the other pro-genocide voices. Isaeli violence in Palestine has been on going for over 70 years. It did not start on the 7 October 2023.
#r4today

It’s not a war, it’s a genocide. “Israel was founded on the war crime of ethnic cleansing, it sustains itself by the crime of genocide.”

Stop normalising this criminal regime. #r4today

Someone needs to remind our Prime Minister that dissent is democratic and genocide is particularly worthy of protest.

People protesting Israel’s genocide understand the magnitude of American imperialism and its intrinsic link to broader patterns of systemic violence and oppression.

#r4today

“Keir Starmer writes that the UK has, for too long, been too indifferent to anti-Semitism.”

Why does our Prime Minister keep framing support for British Jews and solidarity w/ Palestinians as mutually exclusive?

Bec dehumanising Palestinians is the apparently acceptable anti-Semitism.

Robert Jenrick makes an undeniably racist remark, and Kemi Badenoch rushes to “contextualise it”.

This is exactly why she was elevated to leader of the Tory party — to serve as the Black face of Conservative bigotry, sanitising their racism and upholding white supremacy.

Notice that the Rabbi didn’t say anything about dead Palestinians? She spoke about the victims of October 7 and the Manchester terrorist attack - but nothing about dead Palestinians because they don’t matter.

Their lives are considered disposable because of Hamas.

Colonial logic. #r4today

Anna Foster is still referring to the Gaza genocide as a “war”. Two years of our government arming an openly genocidal, right-wing regime engaging in an unhinged, vindictive killing frenzy and #r4today continues to justify this annihilatory violence.

How is this not disinformation from the BBC?

The genocidal Labour Party’s efforts to silence Pro-Palestine demonstrations reveal the establishment's fear of the moral bankruptcy of its system being challenged by citizens willing to speak out against their leaders’ normalisation of apartheid and genocide.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

“Mark Rowley has said there’s no power in law to ban protest. Do you think there should be?”

Seriously, Amol - are you okay? This is not bloody America where the president can curbing civil liberties on a whim. The logic you’re pushing is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

#r4today

If the sole responsibility for yesterday’s attack lies with the attacker, why is the Chief Rabbi allowed to claim a direct link between the terrorist attack and Pro-Palestine rallies?

Casting the movement as menacing is really a refusal to try to understand what is going on. #r4today

Why is Justin telling Zack Polanski, a Jewish man, how to feel about Israel’s genocide in Gaza?

It’s actually anti-semitic to conflate Jews with Israel. It was refreshing to hear a party leader bring some much-needed nuance to a conversation with one of #r4today’s most consistently biased voices.

Lmao.😭😭😭

“She was the first person to witness an animal using a tool.”

Bec, of course, in all of Tanzania, not a single person had ever seen a wild chimp do this. Where would we be without Europeans to explain the mysteries of our own continent back to us? Thank goodness for their unmatched wisdom. #r4today

Justin Webb pronounces ‘Hamas’ two different ways - classic colonial energy. He chats with Jeremy Bowen often enough to know the correct pronunciation, but how else is he supposed to signal his disdain and impress his pal Emma Barnett?

#r4today

Of course, Keir Starmer hasn’t watched the footage exposing the Met’s routine racism and misogyny - he’s got more pressing priorities, like scapegoating migrants to mask his political shortcomings.

It’s not like the footage reveals anything we didn’t already know about the Met.

Security stepped up at the UK's oldest gurdwara based in London Gurdwaras are diverting funds from vital community services to bolster security say Sikh leaders.

"It's not just about being Sikh. It's about being brown. People don't distinguish between Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus... It feels like the 1970s again. I remember the National Front. The difference now is social media is amplifying hate."

Being depressed, Mr Robinson, is not just feeling a bit sad because it's raining today. Depression is debilitating. So, yes, it will prevent you from looking for work (let alone work at all)
#r4today

Nick Robinson:

“Being anxious - even being depressed - is a terrible thing to have, but it’s not a good enough reason to stop looking for work.”

Anxiety and depression aren’t just “terrible” - they’re life-altering. Ppl living w/ these conditions deserve empathy & support, not judgment.

I don’t think being a HR lawyer automatically means he’d be racial literate. I agree he’s trying to appeal to Reform voters, but calling the policies they support racist while shielding them from that label suggests he’s not genuinely concerned abt their racism - as long as he gets their support.

What do you call people who say they aren’t racist - while happily endorsing blatantly racist policies?

Keir Starmer dodged the racism question not out of caution, but because he lacks the racial literacy to state the obvious: racism doesn’t function as a binary - it’s a spectrum.

#r4today

The U.S. has spent the last two years arming a genocide and guaranteeing impunity for its perpetrators.

It has backed Israel without question from the UN to the blood soaked ruins of Gaza.

Israel is a barbaric criminal state, but it’s America’s barbaric criminal state.

#r4today

“That’s because the alternative for them is now an onslaught from Israel that would have the backing, it would seem, of Donald Trump.”

The word you’re looking for is genocide, Justin. So tired of hearing morally bankrupt BBC journalists stenographing Israel regime propaganda.

#r4today

Once again, #r4today is entirely consumed by every breathless utterance from Donald Trump.

It’s infuriating that we’re forced to endure this - even during the Labour conference.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Amol and Justin start giving updates on his bowel movements.

Oh no, not Wes Streeting again. He reminds me so much of Michael Gove - endless words, zero substance.

#r4today

#r4today Patriotism isn't inherently bad, but I have a problem with people who are unable to discuss their patriotism without white supremacist logic and xenophobic ignorance.

To love your country uncritically - like Farage & his supporters do - isn’t patriotism, it’s dedicated wilful ignorance.

LOL!
