As a White House ethics lawyer I told staff:

“Be allergic to free stuff” and not to even accept a can of soda from someone with business before the White House.

The reason life is so bad in Cuba and Venezuela is because of the US sanctions.

And the reason for the sanctions are because Cuba wouldn't surrender to the US and Venezuela wouldn't let the US steal all their oil.

Pro-Zionist Labour government just sitting back and allowing this to happen… it’s what they’re being paid to do!!
Israels continues its annexation of the occupied West Bank.

So whats the UK govt doing? Ending trade? Imposing sanctions on the Israeli govt & economy? Stopping all military assistance? Of course not. It says it opposes the annexation but it does nothing to stop it.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

Starmer is not going to stop helping Israel. Perhaps the UN should try to issue an order banning all arms sales to Israel? I wish the ICC would hurry up and say they are investigating Starmer.

I have to believe that impunity will not last forever. May all Palestinian murderers be brought to justice, no matter what country they were from. They currently walk amongst us and we have no idea what depraved lengths they sunk to. May they live in fear of their crimes being revealed at The Hague.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Authoritarian Starmer can't change. Left purged, local parties weakened, conference resolutions ignored.

Starmer withdrew whip from 7 MPs for opposing the two child benefit cap, now govt policy.

Need new leader, policy changes.
