Israeli forces are minutes away from illegally intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla.

One of the ships - the Ohwayla - sails under a UK flag. Onboard are humanitarians with vital aid, demanding a humanitarian corridor.

The Labour government must act NOW to protect UK citizens.

I am shocked and appalled by the attack on a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest day for the Jewish community.

My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and everyone affected.

Yesterday I held a surgery at St Anneโ€™s Church, helping with issues from housing and debt to passports and school places.

Always grateful for the warm welcome from Rev Pam Howell ๐Ÿ’ž

Labourโ€™s plan for compulsory digital ID risks creating a more authoritarian state.

Under constant surveillance, we would have to pass through digital checkpoints just to live our daily lives โ€” with even more barriers for minorities, migrants and the digitally excluded.

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla is delivering life-saving aid to Gazans deliberately starved under Israelโ€™s genocide, including 1 million children.

Spain is sending a naval vessel to protect the flotilla and ensure aid reaches those in desperate need.

The UK must do the same.

Having armed and enabled this genocide, the very least this Labour government can do is act now to protect the 13 British citizens on board.

This is the rhetoric that politicians from Starmer to Farage have normalised and emboldened.

Racism, hate and division dressed up as โ€˜legitimate concernsโ€™.

We will fight back. And we will defeat their politics of hate.

The new left party must be different: member-led, shaped by the people it serves, honouring and learning from the past, and building the future.

Honoured to join Coventry Irish Society to celebrate women who shaped Coventry.

From Lady Godiva to Mo Mowlam and Pauline Black, from factory workers to trade unionists, Coventryโ€™s women have always led with courage.

Their legacy inspires us and reminds us that the struggle continues.

IPSOS article:

One in five Britons would consider
voting for a new left-wing party, rising to one in three young people and Labour voters

One in five (20%) British adults would consider voting for a new left-wing party founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. The party's appeal is strongest among young people, with one-third (33%) of 16-34s considering it, alongside a third of 2024 Labour voters (33%) and 43% of 2024 Green Party voters.

ALL SYSTEMS GO
ELBIT Systems, which as Israel's largest arms firm is a key cog in the Israeli war machine, is close to winning a ยฃ2bn contract that would make it a "strategic partner" of the Ministry of Defence, working on the training of 60,000 British soldiers every year.
Elbit Systems UK, its British arm, is bidding for the Army Collective Training Service contract. The chosen bidder will work with the MoD to transform military training "through digitalisation, simulation, a different relationship with industry, and by changing how and where the military trains"
Many defence giants put in bids, but in February the MoD reduced the bidders to two:
Elbit and Raytheon. The MoD paid the companies โ‚ฌ2m each to develop their bids. The development period was supposed to run until mid-August, meaning the final decision is imminent.
Elbit has certainly done its best to get the inside track with the ministry, appointing two top former MoD figures to its UK board of directors:
Sir Simon Bollom (who made the move in June
- see Eye 1651) and Sir Mark Poffley.
The firm already has similar contracts with the MoD. Since 2023 it has run Project Vulcan, a โ‚ฌ57m, ten-year contract of simulation-based training for tank crews. But the new deal would be a significant step up, both in value and in its relationship with the MoD. The Eye asked the MoD if it would be appropriate to give a company so involved in the Gaza war such a major contract, but it did not respond.
โ€ข Meanwhile, the anger across Europe over Israel's attacks on Gaza didn't prevent Serbia from agreeing a $1.64bn deal, announced last week, for Elbit to supply "a range of defence solutions" including artillery-rocket systems and attack drones.

Starmerโ€™s Labour government says thereโ€™s no money to scrap the two-child benefit cap and lift 500,000 children out of poverty โ€” but there is ยฃ2,000,000,000 for Elbit, Israelโ€™s partner in genocide.

This obscene deal must be stopped.

They have Palestinian blood on their hands.

We also remember Gaza, where Israel has dropped over 85,000 tonnes of explosives: five times the power of the atomic bomb, on a densely populated strip of land with six times the people.

More than the Blitz. More than Dresden.

This is not โ€œself-defenceโ€ or โ€œwarโ€. It is genocide.
