“They shall not starve”
#OnThisDay 1984. A convoy carrying 130 tons of food left London and headed north to mining communities in Yorkshire and the Midlands.
I am absolutely horrified by the scenes in Liverpool. My thoughts are with everybody affected.
Liverpool will always hold a special place in my heart — it is a city of unique strength, spirit and unity.
Tonight and always, you’ll never walk alone.
Today, the Independent Alliance delivered media handbooks to mainstream press outlets, suggesting basic ways they could hold the Prime Minister to account over Gaza.
You can read the full handbook here: https://t.co/WwnzMQo81x
Chris Nineham has organised anti-war demonstrations for over 25 years.
Today, he was arrested whilst arranging for flowers to be laid in memory of children who had been killed in Gaza.
His arrest is an affront to the democratic rights of us all — he must be released now.
We will keep coming together, until there is justice and full accountability.
Until there is an end to the siege of Gaza.
Until there is a free and independent Palestine.
The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.
In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.
Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
The Prime Minister should make a statement to Parliament, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia.
He must tell the British public if this means we are now at war with a nuclear power, what risk this poses to people in Britain, and why this action was taken without any approval from Parliament.
I have consistently condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and called for a diplomatic solution to stop the endless bloodshed.
As we edge closer and closer to catastrophe, we should be doing everything in our power to bring about de-escalation and peace. Instead, our political leaders have added fuel to the fire and gambled with people’s lives for political gain.
Presidents and Prime Ministers must know that in the event of nuclear war, nobody wins.
I’m not interested in bombs. I’m interested in peace – and I will continue to campaign for peace in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, the DRC and beyond.
Thank you @M_Star_Online for printing my Labour party resignation statement in full.
Thanks also to @darrenw_cardiff @jeremycorbyn - two principled socialists that I greatly admire - for your kind words in yesterday's edition.

Israel’s indiscriminate attack on Jabalia has killed over 50 children in 48 hours.
Since last year, 16,700+ children have been killed & 20,000+ are missing.
The UK is actively participating in genocide.
Full arms embargo, sanctions & an end to diplomatic support to Israel NOW.
Utterly disgraceful that the UK voted against a UN resolution to study the impact of nuclear war, alongside Russia and France.
The government is burying its head in the sand over the dangers of nuclear disaster.
How much more isolated can we become from the rest of the world?
Today as I close my former MP office for the last time, I'll also be leaving the Labour Party.
I'll keep fighting for a society for the many, not the few.
Let's get to it- get involved in our communities, build alliances & keep speaking truth to power.

Israeli forces have attacked Jabalya by land and air, killing dozens of civilians.
They have ordered the remaining civilians to leave, when it’s clear they have nowhere safe to go.
The deliberate targeting of civilians must stop.
ALL arms sales to Israel must end now.
My thoughts today are with the people of Port Talbot & surrounding areas.
Bringing the steel industry into public ownership should have been an option.
It's time we developed an economy in Cymru where the wealth we create stays in our communities.

Lebanese people are fearful of texting their loved ones in case their phones explode.
Our government’s cowardly failure to call out this latest war crime is shameful.
There is only one reasonable response: end all arms sales to Israel, now.
