The British public back an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel — they know complicity in genocide is indefensible.
Yesterday I stood outside Parliament with MPs, activists and artists to demand action.
No more arms. No more surveillance. No more trade. No more complicity.

The latest study shows that Black job applicants are at least 40% less likely to get past initial screening than similarly qualified White applicants. But, according to Labour advisers, there are DEI hiring practices that are giving us an advantage. Fuck Labour.

Depressing how many people think it's as simple as this. A few rough notes...
1) Hamas is the inevitable resistance to the awful oppression suffered by Palestinians.
2) Netanyahu is awful, but there are worse ready to take up the mantle.

Putting Lineker in his place is bigger news than Israeli war crimes, according to the BBC

The Gary Lineker nonsense is just another example of what happens to folk who are brave enough to speak out against Israel's crimes. As per, the deliberate conflation of Zionism and Judaism when it suits is one hell of a weapon.
Anti-Zionism or anti-Israel ≠ antisemitism.

The centrists are trying to rewrite history and pretend they weren't eagerly championing Starmer.
Don't let them forget. The centrist inability to reflect and admit they were wrong stands proud.

Regardless of what you think of Mr. Polanski, I find it interesting that this hit piece was written by the daughter of a Labour MP. Funny old world.

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.
This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.
Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.

Whilst the main issue is obviously the grim transphobic position of the gov't, this is yet another reminder of something that was blatantly obvious well before the 2024 election -

The IDF is a terrorist organisation that intentionally kills civilians, aid workers and journalists. This has been abundantly clear for quite a while now. Anyone who supports this is vile.

Video footage appears to contradict Israeli account of Gaza medic killings
The footage was reportedly filmed by a Palestinian paramedic killed by Israeli forces along with 14 others in March.

Energy bills up 6.4% — while network providers raked in £4 billion in “excess” profits over four years.
Water bills up 26% — while firms paid £78 billion in dividends since privatisation & racked up £64 billion in debt.
End this scam. Bring water & energy into public ownership.

I know my 983-rated opponent walked into the fork, the pin on the Queen and then resigned after 15 moves, but 100% accuracy still feels pretty damn good ♟️

Isaacs on Starmer's Labour:

He is a daft prick who helped ruin Labour when it was under the leadership of a decent democratic socialist. He got what he wanted.

Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty.
So I asked the Chancellor — who earns over £150,000, accepted £7,500 in free clothes & took freebie tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter — if Austerity 2.0 is the "change" people voted for?

One of the few good souls in parliament. The way she's treated by her own party and some people in the media and general public is disgraceful.
The independent regulator has announced a £2,500 pay rise for MPs.
At a time when disabled people are facing the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, this is simply wrong.
I’ll be donating mine to charities supporting disabled people in Coventry & across the country.

It's starting to feel a bit like the twitter of old on here. There's still nothing worse or as unreasonable as a centrist who won't admit they're wrong and are, in fact, very much responsible for the shitstorm playing out.
