Well said!! Spot on @lisanandy

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

Arts and culture belong to all of us - not just a privileged few.

We’re restoring the opportunities this country deserves.

[Jill Evans @JevansJill]

Brilliant the kind of policy I want from a Labour Government.

Breaking Christmas news: Today @JoshMacAlister (children and families minister) and @wesstreeting (Health and Social Care Minister) announce free prescriptions and eye tests for young people in care up to the age of 25. Wonderful news.

Angela Rayner has been an inspiration to countless ordinary people who don’t usually see their own lives and experiences reflected in politics.

But beyond politics I'm proud to call a friend. I wish her every success for the future.

[Antonia Bance MP @antoniabance]

Thanks to Angela Rayner, zero hours contracts will be banned, no-one will be subject to fire at will, no-one will be able to be fired and rehired, and no-one will lose their private rented home just cos their landlord wants them out. That's quite some legacy. Thank you Angela.

As we've seen across history, the populist playbook used by Farage is ugly, powerful and incredibly destructive.

We know where it will lead if we don't stop it.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Nigel Farage said Andrew Tate is an “important voice” for men.

Andrew Tate said women should “bear responsibility” for being sexually assaulted.

Reform UK has no credibility when it comes to standing up for women and girls.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The government blocked my inquiry into British complicity in Israeli war crimes.

So on the 4-5 September, we’re holding our own public inquiry.

We will expose the truth — and we will bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Did you think Israel's crimes could no longer shock you?

Listen to this, from Dr Mohammed Mustafa, who served in Gaza.

It will shock to your core.

🚨🚨🚨This is exactly how I feel. 🚨🚨🚨

CHARLES PIERCE WRITES:
“In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and say, "And we shall overcome."
I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over.
I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City.
I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
"These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, god knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job.
They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
"And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators.
Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
"The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides.
We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president* as currently occupies the office. We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon up the requisite contempt.
"Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut up even when it is in his best interest to do so. Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents.

“Why did burning girls matter in Vietnam but not in Gaza?”

The 'Napalm Girl' photo shocked the world and helped end the Vietnam War, writes ⁦@JehadAbusalim⁩, but a child surrounded by flames in Gaza can't even provoke a ceasefire.

It's difficult to find words adequate to the moral abyss from which such a response at such a time could possibly come. No- one resembling an actual human being could do this and say this. Nauseating.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

As Israel continues to kill Palestinian children from the River to the Sea, is any western politician there to be heard or seen?
