Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
Well, there you have it.
British nationals are serving in a foreign army which is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide.
Those are illegal acts.
The Metropolitan police has decided it won't open an investigation into them.
🚨BREAKING -- After allowing US forces to transit through UK bases over recent weeks, Keir Starmer says UK forces played no direct role in the illegal US-Israel attacks on Iran.
His condemnation is reserved only for Iranian retaliatory strikes.
Starmer adds "British planes are in the sky today as part of coordinated regional defensive operations".
UPDATE: The Met Police said 890 arrests were made. 857 arrests were for showing support for Palestine Action, while 33 were arrested for other offences, including 17 for assaults on police officers.
Amnesty International deployed observers to the protest, and police claims that the protest turned violent are a misrepresentation. Our observers witnessed the Defend Our Juries protest being entirely peaceful.
Some supporters of the protest shouted insults at the police and a small number of them attempted to prevent the police from carrying arrestees away. This did not appear to be a coordinated effort.
Police officers, on a number of occasions, were aggressive towards supporters of the protest. This included violently shoving people away and pulling out batons to make space whilst protesters were arrested and hauled into police vans.
The scenes yesterday were a shocking demonstration of how the UK's overly broad terrorism laws are being used to suppress free speech.
BREAKING: Gaza spy flights from UK base on Cyprus secretly shift to plane leased by company with billions in US military contracts
New flights are on blocked list, but we tracked US plane over Gaza on 28 July when pilot forgot to turn off transponder for 1st time in 20 months👇
The government can’t claim to uphold human rights while arming those who violate them.
My Bill would suspend arms sales where there’s credible evidence of war crimes — starting with Israel.
I’ve urged the Prime Minister not to block it when it returns to Parliament on 14 March.
Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Full report, out now.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity.
The UK government must comply with the ICC, end all arms sales, impose economic sanctions & suspend its trade deal with Israel.
Nothing less will do.
We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.
