Tragically, he’s right.

We must never forget which politicians and journalists are responsible.

Nick Maynard: "There were several doctors I know who took in formula feed in their luggage, and every single carton of it was confiscated, was taken away by the Israeli border guards, very specifically the formula feed. So none of it was allowed in"

Today we marched through Liverpool to demand a ceasefire and an end to the genocide for the 84th time.

The truth is at last beginning to filter into the media, but how can the suffering and slaughter have continued so long?

Sad to hear Starmer cite changing the Labour Party as one of his major achievements. Sure, it's changed, in so far as everyone in it feels alienated and drained of hope but it's not very classy to brag about that.

Crying over the thought of losing her job, not watching children being torn limb from limb or burning alive, or the thought of disabled people or elderly freezing to death is just yet another indictment of this society which I feel so deeply in my bones these days. #RachelReeves

A Labour government is driving disabled people into poverty.

This is a scandal, a stain the party will never be able to wash itself of.

Every Labour MP who votes for this disgraceful legislation must be voted out and replaced by someone who stands up for the struggling.

Compare and contrast the space given by the UK media to some words pronounced at a music festival and the daily slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Morning Star headline: Sultana warns that the next election will be a fight between β€œsocialism and barbarism' With a photo of Zarah Sultana speaking after a march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, from Russell Square to Whitehall in central London, June 21, 2025

ZARAH SULTANA has warned that
Labour aping right-wing slogans will only see what has happened in the US, Brazil and India happen in Britain.
The Independent MP told the "confronting the rise of the far-right" panel at
Glastonbury festival's Left Field stage on Saturday warned that the next election will be a fight between "socialism and barbarism."

"We have to ensure that we defeat Nigel Farage or any kind of fascist incarnation we have at the time," she said
Ms Sultana also praised Jeremy Corbyn as
"the best prime minister we never had" as she hit out at Sir Keir Starmer for failing to apologise for his "island of strangers" comments.
"That made people unsafe... so shame on the prime minister," she said.

She added: "The answer to the politics of hate is the politics of solidarity.
"We have to fight in every possible way β€” electorally, in our communities, through our trade unions."

He didn’t say that.

He chanted β€œDeath to the IDF”.

If he’d have changed β€œDeath to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest.

This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Metropolitan Police confirm Kneecap won't be prosecuted The terrorism charge against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara has been dropped by the Metropolitan Police after their huge performance at Glastonbury Festival

The terror charges against KNEECAP were always a politically-motivated attempt to prevent them and other artists calling out the British government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

It is absolutely right that they have been dropped.

Its not that Labour politicians don't understand the benefits they're cutting. They do. When they imply or claim that PIP is an out of work benefit its not a mistake but part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers separate to, & stealing money from, working people

The UK's largest music festival is underway with 200,000+ people at Glastonbury. It says something about where Labour is at that the only comment from Keir Starmer & Lisa Nandy has been to attack the line-up. πŸ‘‡
