A journey that started with a workshop in 2019 is now out with History of Science. Thanks to Lissa Roberts for very detailed and thoughtful feedback and for agreeing to this roundtable. Amazing to work with @kaohu11 on this and to our contributors 1/ https://t.co/3O24Nh3ev6

LETS GO

The Makerfield by-election today could spell the end of Keir Starmer's time as prime minister.

But his political career should have ended the moment he chose to support, arm and enable Israel's genocide in Gaza.

This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.

The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Willingness to retreat in language is often the first indication of a willingness to retreat everywhere else.

One of the most fundamental lessons in organizing and movement building - and one that has been underscored repeatedly over the past three years, as Palestinians in an open-air prison have been exterminated by our bombs and money - is the importance of language.

Language matters - not only does it determine the direction of a movement, but it determines who is allowed to live and who is allowed to be killed.

Supporters of these candidates will continue to insist that moderation is necessary, that language must be softened in the name of electability and that these rhetorical concessions don’t impact material outcomes. But that’s simply not true.

The erosion always begins with words. It begins with backtracking, apologies, condemnations, with qualifications and carefully managed caveats. If you are unwilling/unable to stand behind your own words - words that correctly identify and condemn an overseer of the extermination of a people you claim to support -then there is little reason to believe you will stand behind any meaningful action when it carries a greater political cost.

Andy Burnham won. The fight to replace him as Manchester mayor is between Greens and Reform!

I was asked: doesn’t his win weaken the Greens? No. There isn’t a single policy difference between Burnham and Starmer. In many ways Burnham is worse. He voted for the Iraq War, opposed investigating it 17 times, trebled tuition fees and backed every austerity measure

Israel killing children.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Josh Simons, one of Morgan McSweeney's hatchet men from Labour Together – the group that took Israel lobby money and secretly broke election laws to get Starmer into power – embraces Andy Burnham after giving up his seat for him.

Watch this space.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Starmer: "If there is a contest.. then yes I will run"

This position won't last. I imagine over the next couple of days a queue of people (including cabinet ministers) will be telling him he can go with as much dignity as he can muster or he'll be booted out, but he's finished

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Imagine a politician who does nothing wrong, but still apologises, submits himself to scrutiny without a peep and then is silently cleared after being smeared by everyone.

That’s not politics as usual. That’s different. Well done @ZackPolanski. They owe you an apology

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Would you still call it a “ceasefire” if over 1000 Israelis had been killed @Reuters?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Last year, the government blocked my Bill demanding an independent inquiry into its complicity in genocide.

Today, I've tabled it again. My question to any potential Prime Minister is: will you support an urgent inquiry, or will you block our efforts to expose the truth?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Burnham pays tribute to Josh Simons, who he says recognised it couldnt continue to be business as usual

If theres anyone who understands what business as usual meant under the Labour right, its the man who arranged a smear campaign against journalists who were investigating them

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Not sure Burnham offers real change - that will be determined by putting people before profits, welfare before warfare - but it likely marks the end of Keir Starmer, the most mendacious, unprincipled politician of recent times. Hopefully after getting booted out of Number 10, he will also leave Holborn & St. Pancras so we can elect an MP who represents us, not his billionaire & corporate donors, & Trump & Netanyahu

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

This event should never have gone ahead.

Now there is a prima facie case that people were advertising land in illegal settlements contrary to law.

Referring this to the ASA is wholly inappropriate and completely inadequate. The government needs to act.

Steve Reed, who helped co-found Labour Together, the organisation that ran a secret campaign to destroy the then Labour leadership & regain control of the party, allowing the Labour right to then purge its opponents, says a party that turs in on itself "doesn't go anywhere good"

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Guess there's another rigged retrial incoming because the Govt didn't get the result they wanted the first time around again.

[Greg Hadfield @GregHadfield]

This is a very good summary of Peter Kyle’s appalling abuse of power.

Which means he should no longer hold any public office.

Amnesty: Israel is committing the WAR CRIME of unlawful transfer in Lebanon

Western media: crickets…

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

While @ZackPolanski was struggling to make ends meet like so many in the UK (and is now cleared of council tax offences), the Labour Party was taking a £4m donation from Quadrature Capital, a "quant-based" trading and hedge fund that has held shares in arms companies involved in Gaza.

Quadrature's immediate parent company, QC Ventures, is based in the Cayman Islands.

The £4m donation was made in May 2024 to fund the Labour Party's General Election campaign... but wasn't made public until after the election. No one knew that the Party had taken its largest ever single donation and from whom until after Starmer had been elected Prime Minister.

Some handy updates since then...

In October 2025, Quadrature declared that it had made a yearly profit of £410m as of the end of January 2025. Quadrature paid out dividends of £360m.

Two months ago, it was revealed that the co-founder and co-director of Quadrature, Sunil Seitiya, spent at least £265 million buying Providence House in Chelsea. It is the most that has ever been spent on a private house sale in the UK.

Providence House is based on a two-acre plot and has the second largest private garden in central London after Buckingham Palace.

Here's the kicker: Seitiya bought the property from Nick Candy. Nick Candy has been the Treasurer of Reform since December 2024.

Whatever you might think of Polanski, or Reform, or Starmer, isn't it strange you've likely heard of Polanki's Council Tax but none of this?

And, if you had heard of it, wouldn't you end up wondering - isn't this just one big club?
