Keir Starmer will be remembered as a disastrous, despised prime minister who facilitated genocide.

That is it.

And one day he will be made to answer for his role in drowning Gaza in oceans of blood.

πŸ‘ @mlorimer.bsky.social reminding politicians that they still have agency: β€œget to the [voters] who don’t ..have a problem with migrants .. but who are worried about public services ..You’re going to solve that by putting more money into public services rather than by trying to stop the boats.”

The cowardly disgrace and amoral sham of leadership that puts this law in place and yet looks the other way at Israel’s genocidal acts. Shame on the entire front bench of this government.

Corbyn: Something is stirring all over the UK You can sign up to build a real alternative to poverty, inequality and war, says Jeremy Corbyn

We will never descend into the gutter of blaming minorities for the problems in our society.

It is the unity of all communities that can take on the rich and powerful β€” and win.

Today is a day of national and international shame.

This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving.

How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

πŸ’― Allocation of resources is a political choice. We are lagging behind many countries because we don’t understand how money is created, the harm caused by underinvestment, by extreme income & wealth & decades long hoodwinking by poisonous press & politicians who have been bought.

We desperately need politicians with care, honour and integrity!

Why is that too much to ask?

@cser.bsky.social Good to read @dpcarrington.bsky.social write up of Luke Kemp’s work on inequality & societal collapse. Yet as @marcosgh1.bsky.social & I argue, high earners (many of
whom will read this piece) are largely resistant to accepting & acting on this knowledge? @dannydorling.bsky.social

I never thought I’d be cheering on a former Tory Cabinet minister.

But here’s to the moral clarity, courage and leadership of @kitmalthouse.bsky.social.

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

Funny how the right suddenly panics when articulate, thoughtful young people get the right to vote.

Almost like they know what’s coming...

Starmer’s attack on the Palestinian movement is too unhinged even for the Murdoch press.

Who thought we’d end up with a β€œLabour” government that’s too authoritarian for Rupert Murdoch

Britain’s corporate capture and colonial roots are showing their true colours at the moment and it is sickening to witness. If you live in Woking, please show up for Palestinians on Saturday. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ #ENDTHEGENOCIDE

'"On Saturday Labour’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy went to Syria and met Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, leader of Syria’s branch of Al-Qaida Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and self imposed leader of Syria.
David Lammy said in a statement. β€œIt is in our interests to support the new government."'

Almost 20,000 asylum seekers in 6 months proves a crucial point Despite the latest big scary number, this is not a new phenomenon.

Me for Metro: The crucial point is deterrence & border violence has never & will never work

We need safe routes & the right to work legally for asylum seekers - IT IS SCREAMINGLY OBVIOUS

But pressure might be working, we must press harder than ever for a humane policyπŸ’ͺ

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.
