I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Hmm…
Who’s gonna tell them?
It's not Roosevelt we're dealing with. Hell, it's not even Nixon.

I have just held a call with President Pedro Sánchez to express the EU’s full solidarity with Spain.
The EU will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.
He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.
5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

That’s over a million people. Lebanon has 5-6 million people in total. We’re one of the smallest countries in the world, and Israel is rendering Lebanon’s agricultural areas uninhabitable by ethnically cleansing its people, spraying its land with herbicides and obliterating everything else.

This is the most significant far-right threat Britain has faced in decades, perhaps ever. But their success is not inevitable.
Understanding the threat is how we stop it.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on a stunning victory.
Proud to support a campaign built on hope and humanity.
Under our new leadership team, Your Party will work constructively with the Greens, because there is only one way we can bring about real change: together.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Starmer has the gall to say he will fight against extremes on the left who want to tear our country apart.
The same man who's spent the last few years scapegoating & demonising refugees & immigrants & fuelling division. A despicable politician soon to be consigned to the bin.
The politics of hope are back.
The politics of fear are in crisis.

Remember kids, if you can't solve every single problem on earth. Don't even try to solve any. That's selective activism.
Apparently.
Even though the fight to Free Palestine is not a single issue - but the defining, intersectional struggle for global justice, human rights & liberation of our time.
Ever since Margaret Thatcher
the superrich have become wealthier
the few millionaires more numerous,
while every year, working class people
get poorer, more & more facing
the winter dilemma of eat or heat
But that's not good enough for
ex-Tory now Reform Ltd's
spokesperson for "Equalities"!!!
When I ran for leader, I said we're going to make the Labour Government more worried about losing seats to the Green Party - than to Reform.
We're making this happen in Gorton & Denton. This is about our country.

Was Jeffrey Epstein a Mossad agent?
The truth? He may have been far more powerful than a mere Mossad agent.
Fascinating from @mazmhussain.bsky.social
Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?
You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

Is this a joke? It’s as funny as when Tony Blair, who after lying to illegally invade and destroy a country, destabilising the Middle East. Killing and displacing millions, then became Peace Envoy to the Middle East.
