I have spoken loudly, proudly and often against UK complicity in the ongoing genocide, and have fought hard for the survival, liberation and right to return of all Palestinian people. I will continue to do so as MP for Manchester Withington: https://t.co/JHcARyylrH
"This is a cause I feel prepared and obligated to die for."
UK activist Lizzie Greenwood has reached day 20 of a grueling hunger strike, protesting the government's support for Israel's war machine.
Lizzie is demanding that the UK ends its arms trade with Israel, and says her hunger strike is a final resort.
@John03473544 @ecomarxi Hey John, you okay? If you watch any of my other videos you'll see that is *exactly* where I want all the money and resources currently being sent to Israel to go instead. Look after yourself! xo
🇮🇱Pro-Israel lobby groups and individuals have donated to 13 out of Labour’s 25 cabinet members, Declassified has found.

This is not Gaza, this is Lebanon now...
Israel just bombed an entire village in Lebanon, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701 and international law with absolutely no consequences.
This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.
Retired Jewish professor Haim Bresheeth, a child of Holocaust survivors and founder of the Jewish Network for Palestine, was arrested under a UK anti-terrorism law after speaking at a recent Palestine solidarity protest in London.
Heartbroken to learn of the death of one of my favourite teachers, Bev Hodgkinson. She was a kind, compassionate, force of nature. And the first person who told me I should go into politics. She inspired and supported so much of who I am (the parts I am most proud of) @CCHSG_
"Defence" is a priority for only 15% of voters... yet we spend £12,000 a minute on nuclear weapons we don't use. And Tories, Labour & Lib Dems all advocate for *even more* spending in this already overfunded area. Rather than in our vital UK services. Make it make sense...!?
42 of my constituents have pledged to only support candidates who prioritise a healthy planet - via VoteClimate. I support them in their call for an urgent discussion on climate protection/solutions & to move toward a greener national economy. Let's make a plan. ASAP.
Wow, so many words to avoid saying “Israel is stealing land.”
This framing is really incredible. The West Bank is recognized as Palestinian land under international law, Israel cannot “legally” seize it.
This unfortunately tracks with absolutely all the abuse & trolling myself & members of my family have received from self-proclaimed Reform members & supporters. So sad that some people co-opt & manipulate the real concerns & needs of working people for their own hateful agendas
🚨 NEW: The Reform candidate for West Ham and Beckton has defected to the Tories, claiming the “vast majority” of her fellow candidates are “racist, misogynistic and bigoted”

I am heartbroken and apalled that this is what happens when people stand up and fight for what they believe in: a better world. Whether you agree with someone's politics or not... the anger and *hatred* this takes... is horrifying
I'm stunned to report that our candidate in Sutton Coldfield has had to suspend his campaigning after his canvassers were attacked by men with baseball bats and machetes leaving some, including his son, in hospital. @WMPolice@AP@AndrewmitchMP
