They know this is a catastrophe.

The Western media is bending over BACKWARDS as a propaganda machine for this war.

Donald Trump is losing the Iran war 👇

You'd think Iran had started the war!

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Imagine an Iranian bomb had slaughtered 165 Israeli school kids.

Imagine the response of the Western media and politicians.

And note the lack of outrage and disgust here.

I missed this when he said it.

But Jake Berry repeated the lie that an Israeli baby was cooked in an oven on 7th October.

That is a grotesque lie. He shows more anger about the FICTIONAL killing of babies than the mass slaughter of actual real babies by Israel.

Western media in Iran propaganda overdrive It's like Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya all over again

The Western media is acting as a propaganda machine for the illegal Iran war 👇

Worried about freedom of speech? Then what’s happening at the Open University should terrify you | Owen Jones The OU has capitulated to a pro-Israel lobby group about the use of the term ‘ancient Palestine’. The wider context is impossible to ignore, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Here's the latest attempt to erase Palestine from history.

The free speech warriors are silent.

We are trapped in a bit of a nightmare, aren't we?

Let’s just see how the BBC is framing this war of aggression, shall we?

This is an illegal war of aggression.

Dozens of Iranian children have been massacred by the US and Israel on its first day.

If the cheerleaders of this crime succeed, our world will descend into bloody chaos.

It's 2003 all over again...

It's not "sectarian" to oppose genocide.

Donald Trump has got himself into a terrible mess over Iran.

And it's all of his own making.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

I saw how the Greens channelled voters’ anger – and fused it with hope. That’s why they won in Gorton and Denton | Owen Jones Starmer called the byelection a battle for the nation’s soul. This result shows Labour has lost that – and I think it will lose much more, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The politics of hope are back.

The politics of fear are in crisis.

New column on the Green victory in Gorton and Denton 👇
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

On @bbc5live.bsky.social discussing the re-emergence of hope at 11am!

If I haven't died laughing at that point

In Gorton and Denton, Muslims and non-Muslims chose to vote for a politics of hope.

After years of politicians blaming migrants and minorities for all our problems, Mancunians voted to face down the politics of hate.

In this unity, there is hope for our country.

A major part of the campaign against the Greens will be racism.

It means targeting and demonising Muslims.

Both Blairites and the right will whip up a race war if it means defeating the left.

We have to stand firm against this.

A warning.

All the worst people in the country are now shitting themselves.

The mother of all campaigns is now going to be directed against the Green Party.

It will be an unrelenting smear campaign.

The Greens need to be ready for that - and so does everyone on the left.

The Labour Party must now be replaced.

Labour MPs currently sitting on vast majorities know they are not safe.

The Greens need to pick other candidates like Hannah Spencer - rooted, authentic, bright fighters for the majority against the elite.

Labour's last desperate strategy was to say "Vote for us, or get Reform."

That is now dead.

Millions of people now know that a vote for the Green Party means voting with both your head and your heart.

Most Labour MPs aren't just unprincipled careerists.

They are bad people.

They have no moral compass and they loathe people who believe in social justice.

Labour will now panic and try and convince the people it told to fuck off that it's changed.

It will change its rhetoric and offer desperate concessions.

Do not listen to them.

It will be lies and desperate cynicism. The Labour party is irredeemable.

The Starmer project never understood that millions of people want an alternative to a broken economic system and a foreign policy based on mass murder.

If you believed in that, the Starmer project told you to fuck off.

Well, we have fucked off. How do you like them apples

The Starmer project was based on crushing the left into the dust.

That's all it had.

They could never have predicted that this strategy could end up risking the destruction of Labour as a political force.

The Labour party didn't just lie.

They ran a disgusting gutter campaign.

The sort of campaign you'd expect from far right hatemongers.

What they did in Gorton and Denton must never be forgotten. They must never get away with it.
