Now that Maccabi Tel Aviv has decided that it will not sell tickets to its own fans for the forthcoming match at Aston Villa, can we expect Keir Starmer to condemn Maccabi Tel Aviv as anti-semites?

Israel should be treated as a pariah state - as should all of those countries that provide it with arms and support. The leaders of Israel and its supporters have hands dripping with blood.

Israel to cut off electricity in Gaza in apparent effort to force hand of Hamas Humanitarian officials say move could hit already meagre water supply, as ceasefire talks grow increasingly chaotic

The Guardian’s wilful refusal to headline this as a war crime is breathtaking …

The ethnic cleansing of Gaza and destruction of Palestine is now US foreign policy.

Demand that the British government publicly condemn this outrageous plan and take a stand for Palestinian rights.

This is not a post to critisise trans allies. I am, however, increasingly shocked at the lack of outcry from most cisgender people to the ever rising anti-trans hate. Trans people in the US and UK are being legislated out of existence.

What will it take?

Please share.

Thanks for your support. The abuse in responses on β€œX” has now intensified. I am being slammed now for being Irish!

Look at this racist and sectarian abuse that I’ve received on β€œX” in response to my message about the statement made by @qpr.co.uk about homophobic chanting by some fans of the club. #QPR

Thanks for responding. I put this same post on twitter and have had a number of insulting replies from supposed Rs fans. A long way to go indeed.

@qpr.co.uk #qpr Pleased, at long last, to see a statement from the club warning Rs fans to stop the β€œChelsea are rent boys” chants as these are homophobic (and criminal). I wrote to the club following the game at Derby on 30.11.2019 to complain about these chants but nothing was done.

The writer says that he uses his Irish/EU passport when entering France and his UK passport when entering the UK. He, in fact, does not need the UK passport. I enter the UK using my Irish passport without difficulty and with no requirement for an entry stamp.

She had no choice but to resign. Her argument that she only pleaded guilty because her solicitor advised her to do so is absurd. No solicitor would advise a client to plead guilty when the client says that they did not commit an offence.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.

The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.

This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.
