Scottish Socialist. . Demand an Independent Public Inquiry into CPS and Flip Flop Starmer for the truth and justice for Assange.
C'mon Indyref2 !

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The media erased Gaza from their Keir Starmer political obituaries.

Why? Because the media is complicit in the genocide, too.

[Dino 1873 @1873Free]

It appears to be just more of the same even before he is in No.10. 🫤

There is a lot to be said about Andy Burnham.

And there are plenty of people already leaping to defend him, usually by attacking anyone who dares point out the obvious.

Here’s the thing...

Burnham has not been parachuted in to be handed the highest office in the land to save the people or rescue the country.

He has been brought in because the Labour Party machine has shifted up a gear in an attempt to save itself.

They are hoping the public will look more kindly on a different face, as if Starmer alone caused Labour’s collapse in support.

He didn’t...

Starmer was the face of bad policy, poor government, donor politics, managed slogans and contempt for the people. Changing the face will not change the direction.

And that is the real insult.

Labour has over 400 MPs. A supermajority. A whole parliamentary party supposedly ready to govern. Yet when the machine needed a replacement, it had to ship in a substitute from the old Blairite days.

Not one of them had the ability, authority or confidence to take up the challenge.

That is not renewal.

That's panic...

As for Burnham, for those of us that have no longer tied our self to Labour’s mast,
you don’t have to dig very deep to find the real Andy Burnham.

He is not some insurgent socialist waiting in the wings. He is a dyed-in-the-wool Blairite, a career politician forged in the New Labour machine.

Before Parliament, he worked as a researcher and special adviser. In government, he served under Blair and Brown. As an MP, he backed the Iraq War in 2003.

As Health Secretary, he inherited and defended a system already riddled with New Labour’s love affair with marketisation, targets, outsourcing and PFI-style thinking. That is the political soil he grew out of.

So let’s stop pretending Burnham represents a clean break from Starmerism.

He's not the antidote. He's the earlier variant.

A smoother voice, a better regional accent, a bit more warmth on camera, but still the same basic politics: manage decline, praise “partnership” with the private sector, keep the donor class calm, and call it change.

If Labour replaces Starmer with Burnham and expects the country to mistake it for renewal, they are insulting people’s intelligence.

New boss. Old machine...

Block the boat: ELSC’s role in disrupting arms deliveries to Israel

Despite statements by European Officials to the contrary – weapons deliveries from and through European states have not stopped after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) determined on 26 January 2024 that Israel is plausibly violating the Genocide Convention. In this blog post the European Legal Support Center’s Crimes & Complicity team is reflecting on the European legal landscape vis-à-vis weapons transfers to Israel and our efforts to stop them.

Who or what can we target with legal action? Which legal interventions are possible? Can we target licensing, customs clearance, or port authorisation? And which legal action will be effective in achieving our goal: to stop the delivery to the Israeli army?

This is so crazy - and coming to UK soon

Labour are preparing the ground for Reform to dismantle Britain's limited democracy completely

One of Reform's candidates (former UK military officer) spent a year calling for my arrest for reporting on RAF's participation in the Gaza genocide

He'll probably be Defence Secretary in the coming Reform government

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Andy Burnham went on a trip to Israel in January 2004, paid for by Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) and Israeli Foreign Ministry

The chair of LFI at time was James Purnell, who has just been appointed Burnham's chief of staff

The lobby has the whole political system sewn up

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Andy Burnham was so effective at privatising the NHS as Health Secretary he was even praised by the Conservatives

Burnham is another empty suit - with an even worse pre-leadership record than Keir Starmer

"Labour" is finished

[Martin Sonneborn @MartinSonneborn]

„Es gibt keine Gesellschaft mehr. Was es gibt, ist eine transnationale Sicherheitselite, die damit beschäftigt ist, die Welt mit Ihren Steuergeldern unter sich (und ihresgleichen) aufzuteilen. Die Kriegstreiber in diesem Land und anderen Ländern haben ein Bündnis geschlossen, um Geld aus den USA, der EU, aus jedem NATO-Staat heraus- und zu den eigenen (Finanz-)Eliten zurückzuschleusen, indem sie es im Blut der Menschen waschen, das in den Kriegen in Afghanistan, dem Irak, Somalia, dem Jemen, Pakistan vergossen wird.“

Jüngere werden vielleicht erschrecken, und vielleicht auch Vergessliche unter den Älteren, weil die Sätze, die Julian Assange 2011 auf der Antikriegsdemonstration in London gesagt hat, Sätze sind, die er gestern gesagt haben könnte. Sie beschreiben nämlich ein Muster: das Muster westlicher Wertekriege und ihrer drei wiederkehrenden Wesensmerkmale: Die Werte, mit denen sie legitimiert werden, gibt es nämlich nicht - jedenfalls nicht bei denen, die vorgeben, sie mit vorgehaltener Waffe zu vertreten. Und: Sie - ausnahmslos Angriffs- & Profitkriege - werden von der als „Verteidigungsbündnis“ vermarkteten NATO „antizipiert“, orchestriert & exekutiert und ziehen die weitere Vermögenskonzentration in den Händen Weniger nach sich, womit sie - ausnahmslos, aber nicht ausschließlich - der Profitmehrung professioneller Kriegsprofiteure dienen.

Immer dasselbe - in zeitlichen Schleifen, auratischen Wellen, historischen Episoden. Dasselbe eine Muster, wieder und wieder: dieselben knarzenden Argumentationsschemata & Narrationsabsolutismen. Dieselben Behauptungen, Tatsachenverdrehungen, Selbstvergewisserungen.

Dazu der immer selbe Raub an der Gesellschaft und den Menschen, die sie tragen. Dieselbe soziale Verarmung, dieselbe geistige Leere und dieselbe ethische Verelendung. Und immer dasselbe Elitenbereicherungs-, „Sicherheits“-, „Feindes“- & Tötungsmuster. Wieder und wieder und wieder.

Wir, die wir alt genug sind, uns (mit Assange) an die letzte Welle westlicher Wertekriege zu erinnern, können den erinnerungslosen Jüngeren heute nur eines sagen, nämlich: dass sie sich einmal erinnern werden. Wenn sie, nachdem (in 15 Jahren) die nächste Welle westlicher Wertekriege losgebrochen sein wird, ihrerseits auf erinnerungslose Junge treffen.

Assange hatte schon damals und hat noch heute recht. Wir müssen eigene Netzwerke und Bündnisse schließen, um unsere Werte gegen den eigennützigen Zynismus der Kriegstreiber zu behaupten. In diesem Land und anderen Ländern.

Heute vor 2 Jahren war Julian Assange nach 14jähriger politischer Verfolgung & Haft endlich wieder frei.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

This Guardian article doesn’t once mention that he supported the Iraq War or that he is the former chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

Very interesting omissions.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs.

Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election

Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs.

Let's end this racket!

Astonishing that Andy Burnham's threat to scrap the Barnett Formula has been completely ignored by BBC Scotland but has been picked up by BBC Wales who've challenged Burnham. What is BBC Scotland actually for? It regularly ignores HUGE political stories.

🇮🇱🇺🇸Valentía real en Estados Unidos.

Zohran Mamdani no se calla y expone la verdad sin miedo.

“Más de mil palestinos han sido asesinados por el ejército israelí desde el supuesto ‘alto al fuego’. Niños muertos a diario.

Un periodista de Al Jazeera, Ahmed Wishah, asesinado este sábado por un ataque israelí.”

Y señala directamente al culpable: AIPAC, la mafia sionista que financia políticos, usa dinero oscuro y mantiene el status quo de la inmoralidad y el genocidio.

Mientras el lobby sionista compra elecciones y silencia voces, Mamdani nombra a los cómplices de la masacre.

No acepta esta barbarie. Esto es lo que el imperio teme: líderes que se atreven a decir la verdad sobre Palestina, sobre Gaza y sobre el poder real que financia la muerte de niños.

¡Gracias Zohran Mamdani por tu coraje!

El mundo necesita más voces como la tuya.

La resistencia palestina no está sola. La conciencia global crece.

Palestinian activist Abdullah Shatat collapsed moments after his release from an Israeli jail, where he was held 32 months without charge or trial. He says prisoners are starved, tortured and denied treatment as thousands of Palestinians remain jailed.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

A UN Commission concludes that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by Israel.

Investigators say they found cases where children were allegedly shot in vital organs using precision weapons.

How much more proof do you need that a genocide is occurring?

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

“Andy Burnham has spent years crafting a specific public myth. He is the 'King of the North,' the casual jacket-wearing, anti-Westminster populist who promised to smash the Whitehall bubble, reverse decades of devastating de-industrialization, and bring failing water utilities back under public control.”

​But as he prepares to enter Downing Street as Prime Minister, the mask has officially slipped. Burnham has handed the keys of Number 10 to his new Chief of Staff, James Purnell—the ex-chair of Labour Friends of Israel, a former BBC executive, and the CEO of Flint Global, an elite corporate lobbying outfit that protects private water companies from state takeovers and was recently sold to a private equity firm notorious for price-gouging the NHS.

​This appointment exposes the absolute hypocrisy behind Burnham's carefully managed rhetoric on devolution and public control. Before he even steps foot inside Number Ten, we must demand a full, unvarnished list of all James Purnell's corporate conflicts of interest—because right now, devolution and reindustrialization is the bait, and corporate capture is the switch.

Glenn Campbell's 'documentary' about the Murrell case set out to smear Nicola Sturgeon. It served only to expose Campbell as shallow and cheap. It was too tawdry for words. Seriously bad filmmaking. Campbell doesn't come out of it well at all.

In the early 2000, this clip was shown on Palestine TV. A few weeks later, Israel completely destroyed the Palestine TV building in the West Bank, but not before I obtained the footage from them.

I'm posting it to show you a glimpse of how these jewish supremacist parasites have been targeting and terrorizing our children for decades.
