Interesting, but I'm not sure why we got Kellner's irrelevant opinion that doctors are wrong to strike.

Otto English. @Otto_English 3h I have no beef with those on the left who dislike Starmer. Personal choice and all. But if you are continuing to deliberately spread disinformation about him and Savile, despite all the evidence proving that the story is a nonsense, well you're no better than Johnson. 

Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani โ€ข 1h Replying to @Otto_English a shame you weren't as picky when spreading the nonsense about Corbyn and 'Black September'. 
I'll submit you are guilty of the thing you are projecting here. You admonished one politician because you didn't like him, and take a stand here because you do. No different.

Bar chart titled "Labour General Election Votes this century" showing the number of votes received by the UK Labour Party in general elections from 2001 to 2024. Each bar represents a different election year and leader, along with their percentage of the vote:

2017 Corbyn (40%) โ€“ ~12.9 million votes (red bar, tallest)

2001 Blair (41%) โ€“ ~10.7 million votes (light blue bar)

2019 Corbyn (32%) โ€“ ~10.3 million votes (red bar)

2024 Starmer (34%) โ€“ ~9.8 million votes (dark blue bar)

2005 Blair (35%) โ€“ ~9.6 million votes (light blue bar)

2015 Miliband (30%) โ€“ ~9.3 million votes (purple bar)

2010 Brown (29%) โ€“ ~8.6 million votes (gold bar)

The chart has a yellow background with horizontal gridlines marking vote counts in increments of 2,000,000.

A Labour source said on the new left party that the electorate has โ€œtwice given its verdict on a Corbyn-led party in the 2017 and 2019 elections"

The source didn't mention the fact that Labour got more votes in both those general elections than they did under Starmer in 2024

Weโ€™ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

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.

"the people who are being arrested are sitting.. carrying placards that say, 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action'"

They were sitting by the statue of Mandela, who many in the west called a terrorist, including Thatcher. He was on the US terrorism watch list till 2008!

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Europe is apparently able to summon up extraordinary sums for more tanks and bombs, but refuses to spend more on climate, housing or care. 1/2

Protest is sometimes the only way we can be heard โ€“ especially when speaking out on what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank.

If passed, this decision would have serious consequences for protest everywhere.

It must be stopped.
