The ADL says the UN criticizing Israel’s actions is ‘by extension’ criticizing Jews and endangering Jews worldwide. So the ADL is violating its own preferred (IHRA) definition of antisemitism by conflating Israel with all Jews.

If there was a singular point of failure I had to say was most tragic it was Labour spending 4 years in opposition while developing zero real plans for child poverty, then spending a year and a half fighting tooth and nail to resist the one measure they did end up putting in.

Simply don’t understand those willing to deny the evidence of multiple doctors from a variety of different countries; independent investigators all with long and established careers, journalists, survivors and witnesses, a pile of visual evidence as well as their own eyes - and still attempt to discredit those who report this. - whether they’re survivors, medics, academics or journalists…

Let me translate here: We have done nothing wrong and it is unacceptable for you to judge us on our not disastrous, not comical not-failures. Fuck you.

My favourite Keir Starmer doublespeak was promising two types of change.

He said he'd change the whole economy to the struggling, and 'stability will be the change' to the comfortable.

Obviously actual change would be inherently unstable.

He ended up doing neither.

How the absolute fuck are we still ragging on Miliband for his "ideological clean power obsession" in the middle of the worst June heatwave ever?

Is politics now just completely disconnected from reality?

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

The BBC’s political editor has written an article about the unravelling of Keir Starmer’s tenure.

The total numbers of times ‘Gaza’, ‘Palestine’ or ‘Israel’ is mentioned? Zero.

This is how propaganda by omission works.

Rachel Reeves after promising to be the first ‘green chancellor’ spent her time in office vilifying protected species despite zero evidence to back up ‘growth blocking’ claims. @AndyBurnhamGM I hope you ignore these lobbying calls

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Justice minister Jake Richards on the media round this morning (still) defending & justifying the govts plans to remove our right to trial by jury in some cases.

Tell us again how Andy Burnham should be restricted to only doing things that were in the manifesto.

[Daniel Finn @DanFinn95]

The BBC's director general resigned last year after a supposedly damning "report" by a right-wing crank selected for the job by Robbie Gibb. He complained that its news bulletins didn't automatically accept the Israeli claim that Gaza hospitals were legitimate military targets.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is sick.

1) The UK government should be calling out Israel’s crimes against Palestinian children.

Not leaving it to diplomats no one listens to!

2) If the British state accepts Israel is committing these heinous crimes, why isn’t it taking the appropriate action?

3) They still both sides it! There is no ongoing onslaught against Israeli children, but listening to this, you’d think that there was

[David Easton @GreySky24]

@ashcowburn Phillipson played her part in defending keeping those children in poverty for two years. As well as enforcing cuts to their education.

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Meaning they are *not* “illegal migrants” but legal refugees. What kind of reporting is this lol

[Alex Callinicos @alexcallinicos.bsky.social @alex_callinicos]

No brief for Ed Miliband, but the fact that Unite & GMB choose amidst an unprecedented heatwave to lobby to block his appointment as chancellor because he pushes for decarbonisation is the narrowest, most unthinking of what Gramsci described as ‘economic-corporate’ politics.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Ed Conway: ".. is the new govt going to take really difficult decisions to try and deal with the welfare system.."

Focussing on welfare rather than taxing wealth.

Framing the narrative. But Ed Conway isn't a politician, he's Skys economics editor.

[Daniela Gabor @DanielaGabor]

As a proud union member, this short-sightedness of union management infuriates me.

They're fighting Miliband because he's 'destroyed fossil jobs', cause he's too green.

All this in a week of boiling temperatures.

[James Meadway @meadwaj]

1. What GMB and Unite leaderships think is a priority in a heatwave
2. What is actually a priority in a heatwave

[Wontwo Badsoup @wontwobadsoup]

so like. If this is true that is insanely inappropriate and should preclude you from a ministerial post right

@EmmaBurnell_ “Cynics and the social media poisoned will argue the intention was to hoodwink the left into support … I don’t think that’s quite right”

Genuinely curious how you came to that conclusion given we’ve got admissions to the contrary:
