Cosmetic change has always been the British ruling class's best defence against real change.
The frequency with which this has had to happen (2 Prime Ministers per election cycle), is indicative of the depth of its crisis. The UK has the whole marks of the European interwar period that laid the foundation for fascist rule.
The colonial genocidal boomerang coming back.
Starmer will be remembered as one of worst, most regressive prime ministers of last century—and it was all entirely predictable
But Andy Burnham is cut from same cloth
The problem is not these empty suits. The problem is the Labour Party: it is set-up to sustain UK oligarchy
They'll call him a "decent man." He is not.
He oversaw one of the most aggressive assaults on British civil liberties in generations, all to protect Israel's genocide and Britain's participation in the crime of all crimes.
He shouldn't be resigning. He should be in The Hague
As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide.
I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud.
Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!
🚨Israel assassinated Imad Miqdad yesterday in a drone strike, targeting his solar-powered phone charging station in Gaza yesterday.
Miqdad had been providing civilians with a rare means of communication amid ongoing electricity cuts.
The strike killed him and destroyed the facility, further limiting access to basic services and connectivity for residents.
Israel has destroyed the final bridge to Southern Lebanon. There is now no way for millions of displaced people to reach their homes. There is no means for essential aid and supplies to reach those who were unable to flee.
Another mammoth war crime, another act of barbarity.
🚨🚨BREAKING -- UK arms firms have been caught trying to illegally ship weaponry to Israel through Belgium.
The shipment contained "sensitive military equipment" including "lasers, sights, fire control systems, and parts for fighter jets".
It has now been seized by the Belgian authorities following an alert from Declassified, @Vredesactie, & @palyouthmvmt.

We will remember that when Trump threatened to genocide Iran saying “A whole civilisation will die tonight”, neither the PM, deputy PM, foreign or defence secretaries said anything about it in public.
A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’
He needs to be stopped.
I know the comparison to Hitler is overused but it's rarely been more warranted: he's literally speaking about erasing a whole civilization.
If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.
We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations.
Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.
An extremist group in Washington, DC has claimed credit for the terrorist attack on the Iranian bridge, promising further attacks on civilian infrastructure if its demands aren't met
Trump right now in his live address: "We're going to hit [Iran] extremely hard over the next 2 to 3 weeks, we're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong."
Pure savagery. And textbook genocidal: saying the Iranian people "belong" in the stone ages means he's targeting them as a people, which is the definition of genocidal intent.
That's where letting Gaza happen without consequences gets you...
Also pretty ironical to call others primitive while sounding like a barbarian king on bath salts.
As Trump and Israel destroy Iran’s infrastructure and kill civilians in the name of fighting “terror,” the UK hosts the founding leader of Al Qaeda in Syria, who long had a $10 million bounty on the US terror list.
Al-Sharaa is now welcomed in NATO capitals because he led the overthrow of the Syrian government, a key Iranian ally, in a dirty war designed to strengthen US-Israeli hegemony. Mission accomplished:
The Israeli regime has just adopted a race-based law to allow the regime to murder Palestinian prisoners by hanging. The regime’s prisons, already notorious for systematic torture, abuse, sexual assault, beatings, and denial of food, clean water, sanitation, and medical care to Palestinian prisoners, will now officially be transformed into death camps. The new legislation adds to dozens of Israeli apartheid laws on the books, and to the regime’s long history of “legalizing” human rights violations against Palestinians.
