Our political leaders have lost control.
First, they lost control of the narrative - allowing racism to pass off as legitimate concerns.
Now, they’ve lost control of the streets, leading to racist pogroms AGAIN.
This repeated failure to protect our communities is unacceptable.
The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.
It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.
From the UK to New York, the real fightback is against the multi-millionaires and billionaires who have stolen our wealth and power - and the media that protect them.
Zohran gets that.
And we do too:

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?
Much like the crushing of student protests under Biden, the Starmer government is creating the mechanisms, precedent and, worst of all, legitimacy for the authoritarian Reform government they keep warning us about. They're paving the way.
One thing I am confused about is how Saka got penalised for “getting his body between player and ball,” yet the exact same move by Kvaratskhelia was deemed “smart”, “intelligent”, and won him a penalty…
And Arsenal fans can you stop nibbling?? we just won the fuking premier leagueeeee! rival fans are gunna take the piss but that’s football!!! bite your tongue and celebrate tomorrow 🏆🏆🏆
🗣️ Declan Rice to TNT on losing the #UCL Final. "It's a lottery. Some of the best teams ever have lost on penalties in finals, and we were on the receiving end.
"We win and lose together, and I am so proud of these boys. What a season! I am gutted, but trying to keep a little perspective of where we started in July and where we are now. We'll be back.
"[On Gabriel and Eze], we love them and we are with them. It happens in football. They won't be the last players to miss penalties in finals, and without those two we wouldn't have won the Premier League.
"Gabriel, I have run out of words for him as a player and with Eze, he's got crucial goals for us this season. It's cruel, but we'll take the positives and keep going."
It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute.
