*truncated :Nigel Farage and Reform claim to stand with ordinary people, but are backed by billionaires and fossil fuel interests. They are pushing for more oil and gas, fracking, and weaker protections for our air, water and wildlife - via @greenpeace https://t.co/amUTdhlSmi
While the usual minions spread new falsehoods about fellow UN experts and me, here is what Israel and its supporters want absolutely you not to see. The body of evidence.

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
Reform UK has a big problem in Wales.
It's going to be really hard for them to grow because they are very unpopular with three groups in Wales:
1. Women (who make up 51% of voters)
2. People who feel more Welsh than British (the single largest identity group in Cymru)
3. Young people.
While a narrative has grown up around the idea that young men really like Farage. The data suggests this really isn't the case in Wales as only 10% of young people voted for the party.
"It brings me no pleasure to compare what Israel is doing to what the Nazis did, but how can we not? When you have things like ghettos, starvation, concentration camps and planned systematic extermination of people"

Why are our energy bills so high when we generate more electricity than we use in Wales? 🤯
Plaid Cymru is fighting for devolution of the Crown Estate, so that our communities can benefit from our own natural wealth. 💪🏴
It is incredibly anti-Semitic to conflate the genocide being committed by the IDF with Jews everywhere.
Yet this is precisely what pro-Israel figures have sought to do in response to our campaign letter, which calls for Britons who fought for the IDF in Gaza to be investigated in line with international and domestic law.
Under the Geneva Convention, the UK government is obligated to do everything in its power to prevent and punish genocide.
That would include preventing its own citizens from participating in an active genocide, and ensuring that those who do are not complicit in war crimes.
Universal jurisdiction also allows for courts to prosecute individuals committing the most serious international crimes - such as genocide, war crimes, and torture - regardless of where the act occurred.
Notwithstanding these legal obligations, over 2,000 British-Israelis have served for the IDF amid the Gaza genocide and not one of them has been prosecuted or even seriously investigated.
The right-wing media has rounded on Zack Polanski, the only Jewish leader of major political party, for signing his name to these very basic demands. He has been subjected to some of the most disgusting abuse I have seen on this website.
Fortunately, most people are not buying it. The letter has been signed by prominent figures including human rights lawyer Michael Mansfield, anti-apartheid campaigner Andrew Feinstein, genocide scholar Martin Shaw, Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sittah, as well as almost 16,000 members of the public.
The pro-Israel lobby and right-wing press want to intimidate people who are demanding basic accountability and the upholding of international law.
It's important not to be cowed. You can sign the letter here: https://t.co/86vTdnuNO1
The fact @LindsayHoyle_MP was emailing Israeli politicians is bad enough but to use the powers of the @CommonsSpeaker to block publication of these communications is an affront to democracy. They need to be published and he needs to be removed from office.
Ireland should refuse to play Israel. You don’t share a pitch with a genocidal state and call it sport. Forfeit the 6 points. Rally the world. Embarrass UEFA.
