@PaddyKeenan0121@ArchRose90 I am. I think it’s unjust to be convicted for criminal damage when trying to stop an arms manufacturer supplying a genocide. Think that’s a morally justifiable position.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
remember like a month ago when zach polanski retweeted a member of the public's concerns about police conduct and all of politics came screeching to a halt for the day to condemn such a wholly inappropriate political interference into operational policing?
@AllyFogg@pengersxi Otherwise, Voters will surely think, what’s the point in voting for us if we’re tacitly endorsing the defacto Labour leader without demanding anything in return.
@AllyFogg@pengersxi if we have a very different policy platform, and, as you say, we have no hope of getting any concessions through negotiation then the only way to force him to adopt more green policies surely has to be to run a full campaign?
@AllyFogg@pengersxi But if he were to state public support for a policy like a wealth tax that gives us some leverage when he becomes leader. He will not want to be seen as a slippery Starmer like figure. 2/2
@AllyFogg@pengersxi But if we can’t secure any concessions then we are not furthering the objectives of the Green Party by not standing. I’m not suggesting he makes firm promises regarding the entire Labour Party. 1/2
@AllyFogg@pengersxi Agreed but there has to be some quid pro quo. We cannot just roll over and let our tummies be tickled. Some sort of commitment to a green policy, perhaps wealth tax?
The UK press are capable of digging up every irrelevant detail about politicians it fears, but want you to believe they didn't know about Peter Mandelson's intimate friendship with Jeffrey Epstein despite this photo being posted under every article that mentioned him for years.
Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes.
Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.
Weird that even the police, in their tweet, though not in the full statement itself, are just airbrushing the fact that he’s being charged with three attempted murders, not two, the third person being a Muslim man he stabbed earlier in the day
@AllyFogg@ScouseWolfy@UKLabour Again. I just fundamentally disagree with you. If you are not, as an MP, are actively voting against things that you believe will improve peoples lives then you sure are acting immorally.
@AllyFogg@ScouseWolfy@UKLabour So what? You have to get better at persuading them that good things are actually possible. You don’t just roll over and go ‘well I just have to make their lives worse now’ .
