[Chris Nineham @ChrisNineham]

The campaign calling the Palestine movement antisemitic is blowing itself up.

First, Met chief Mark Rowley lets real antisemite and Muslim hater ‘Tommy Robinson’ march to Parliament while we are barred.

Then he is caught lying that we intentionally march to synagogues.

We have to fight this with everything we've got. Militarism cannot be the political norm after the horrors of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine and Iran.

[Shabbir Lakha @ShabbirLakha]

New manifesto drop: Welfare FOR warfare

From Clive (and sounds like Andy Burnham) to Sharon Graham to the Lib Dems and (to a lesser extent) the Greens, this is the new batshit Keynesianism for militarism line.

This is why anti-imperialism isn’t an optional extra for the left.

[Shabbir Lakha @ShabbirLakha]

Not only did the officer - from the same policing district as those who arrested the pair for antisemitism in Hackney - defend the right of a far right extremist to verbally abuse Muslims, the Assistant Met Commissioner Matt Twist commended the officer.

[Shabbir Lakha @ShabbirLakha]

In February, a far right Christian preacher travelled to Whitechapel, a predominantly Muslim area, to film himself shouting abuse about Islam and Muslims. When police were asked to intervene, the response was “in this country, we have freedom of speech” https://t.co/ZgiZVdO5Pa

[Shabbir Lakha @ShabbirLakha]

On 7 May two people were arrested after they’d travelled to a ‘predominantly Jewish area’ and filmed an encounter where they verbally abused a Jewish man. They were promptly arrested and convicted within 48 hours of an antisemitic hate crime.

[Shabbir Lakha @ShabbirLakha]

Here is a prime example of the double standards applied by the Metropolitan Police when it comes to Antisemitism and Islamophobia, and why it is absurd that we are meant to consider them neutral arbiters of what is and isn’t racism 🧵

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

It was very principled of people to mock the fact that there was a marathon and a 5k run in the West Bank and in Gaza because they could also mock the fact that Jews during the Holocaust played soccer in some ghettos and even in Theresienstadt concentration camp.

[Birmingham Stop the War Coalition @BrumStWC]

A lot of statements from politicians and journos about "fixing the bins" in response to independent and green election winners talking about Palestine. No thought from them about what links failing public services and UK support for genocide - a warmongering welfare-cutting elite

[Shabbir Lakha @ShabbirLakha]

Come on @Keir_Starmer, where’s your sadness and regret now? Resign you coward

[Birmingham Stop the War Coalition @BrumStWC]

@ShabanaMahmood This is what happens when Labour spites its base and tries to shut down the right to protest. This Labour government is complicit in warcrimes.

[Birmingham Stop the War Coalition @BrumStWC]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer party. The Labour Party, which has just approved yet another licence to Israel.1

A real chance to humiliate this government further with a big turnout next Saturday.

Free Palestine.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

As these tough election results come in, we thank and pay tribute to our councillors who have served their communities brilliantly for many years.

The last thing the British people need now is Labour turning inward and losing focus on them.

Keir Starmer won a huge mandate less than two years ago. Now we must get on with delivering change faster for the British people.

Join us this Saturday to protest the use of RAF Fairford in the illegal war on Iran.

US Bases out of Britain!

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

In newly-released internal documents, UK military/intel censorship body “D-Notice committee” reveals that UK media “very rarely” publishes information against the wishes of British security state

Exception, they add, is “exteme, non-msm organisations”, citing @declassifiedUK

“Anyone who says foreign and domestic policy are not linked are wrong. The Chancellor made that clear in her commitment to Nato and increasing defence spending still further." @LindseyAGerman

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Closed Material Procedures (CMPs) are a legal nonsense. They effectively allow the state to present evidence in secret with no one present to rebut that evidence. They r supposed to be used to protect national security but r abused to hide criminal conduct as shown in numerous arms deal cases. They rely on trust in the State. The British state has done nothing to deserve that trust, in fact it has done a great deal to engender profound mistrust

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

State sponsored Islamophobia in Birmingham schools. Michael you have yet to apologise for igniting the Trojan Horse conspiracy theory, wrecking the careers of dedicated teachers and damaging the life chances of thousands of schoolchildren.
