So will BBC presenters now attach this context every time Gaza is discussed? Will they stop interrupting guests for using the word genocide?
Of course not. That would help inform the audience.
The BBC's priority is managing the narrative, not clarifying it.
Starmer expelled more Jewish members of the Labour Party ‘to combat antisemitism’ than all previous leaders combined. That’s like expelling people of colour to fight racism. He destroyed the left on a lie, he won power on lies & he resigned with more lies about his time in office!
Police are appealing for information after a woman was subjected to racist abuse and assaulted in Blackpool.
Incident took place on Friday 29th May 6.10pm at South Pier Promenade
Two men racially abused the woman, made threats of violence, and then pushed her down the stairs.
Political sociologists will need to study how Keir Starmer—a man who echoed Rivers of Blood, supplied military intelligence to a genocide, assaulted civil liberties, demonised migrants, bankrupted universities, and let Palantir into the NHS—is still seen as "a decent man."
His kids will spend this Father’s Day without him.
John Chapman, British special forces veteran, left combat behind to feed starving children in Gaza.
An IDF soldiers killed him anyway.
Remember his name.
This is all he will be remembered for. A human rights advocate who turned into a genocide advocate.
He has outlived his usefulness.
Watch closely where he ends up.
The cushy position will be his little token of thanks from the Establishment. Blair territory. Morally despicable.
Keir Starmer's premiership was a catastrophe engineered by the Labour right.
They got everything they wanted - a candidate without politics of his own, control of selections and internal processes, a monopoly on his advisers - and they fucked it into the sun.
I’ve never defended a rapist in my life.
You, however, worked hard to elect a man to the presidency who was found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers. A man accused of sexual misconduct by two dozen women.
But sure, tell me more about your values.
This morning @bbclaurak show had Paul Ovenden as a guest
He LIED by saying that Starmer took over a Labour Party "infected with antisemitism". This was not true. It WAS true that many Labour members were expelled for speaking up for Palestinian rights, including many Jewish members
Kuenssberg did not make any objection to Ovenden's lies
Ovenden had to resign in 2025 for vile, racist text messages about Diane Abbott
Unsurprisingly this was not mentioned
Counter terror police are investigating a suspected anti-Muslim knife attack in Edinburgh during which five people have been injured. The alleged perpetrator, a white man, has been arrested.
I’m sure the wall to wall media coverage, national address and COBRA meeting are on their way any second now.. any second.. just hang on…
A barrister hired a digger and physically restored a dead river, brought back fish, herons and dragonflies, and the Environment Agency response is to threaten him with two years in prison for not having a permit.
Allow me to state a general fact we should all be able to agree on: soldiers who die in combat as part of a war of aggression are not victims of terrorism.
Yvette Cooper says she is horrified by Ben Gvir calling for "all of Lebanon to burn".
But while Gaza and Lebanon burn, the UK government continues to facilitate the supply of fighter jet components to Israel.
I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.
On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.
This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.
Dr Jane Hawdon suspended Dr @NadimHCr just 63 minutes after an anonymous complaint over his social media posts on the genocide in Gaza.
Hawdon is the same doctor known for her Lucy Letby review. She also personally filed a complaint against me to the GMC.
When Hawdon suspended Nadeem in August 2024, she provided no specific details of the complaint. No evidence.
She sent him home mid-shift and did not even tell him why.
Nadeem was left in uncertainty overnight— he was so worried he might have harmed a patient.
Hawdon then ambushed him in a meeting and pressured him: delete your posts or face a full investigation.
Nadeem is suing the Royal Free Trust and suing Hawdon personally for discrimination and harassment.
She took the stand today in his employment tribunal. She seemed worried, as though she never expected to be held responsible for her disgraceful behaviour.
Hawdon treated Nadeem as guilty until proven innocent. Not because of clinical issues or patient harm. But because of his words expressing outrage over 'israel's' terrorism and the mass murder of Palestinians.
Nadeem is a Christian Jordanian who has borne witness to the Palestinian struggle his entire life.
Hawdon had no right to stop him caring for the British public because of his righteous and moral views.
She had no right to cause him that level of harm and force him to delete his posts just to keep his job and livelihood.
Genocide apologists working as doctors in Britain must be exposed so the British public can make informed decisions regarding their care.
Eternal shame on Jane Hawdon.
They'll call him a "decent man." He is not.
He oversaw one of the most aggressive assaults on British civil liberties in generations, all to protect Israel's genocide and Britain's participation in the crime of all crimes.
He shouldn't be resigning. He should be in The Hague
Just another reminder that Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war - an illegal war that cost over a million lives.
He has refused to describe the systematic slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza as genocide.
So what will change? Nothing.
Arms sales to apartheid Israel will continue.
Palestine Action will remain banned, and more pensioners will be locked up.
Welfare will be cut to fund more weapons.
Immigration detention will expand, and mass deportations will continue.
Andy Burnham is not the second coming. He's the establishment's last roll of the dice.
We've already seen racist pogroms on our streets. That danger has not gone away.
So we must organise, build solidarity, and create power from below. Fascism isn't at the door. It's already here.
Only socialism can face down this barbarism.
I was born as a Jew in Jerusalem, educated in the best school the Zionist movement established and lived in occupied Palestine for 42 years. I am a very informed anti-Zionist and know about "the reality of life in Israel" a million times more than this ignorant American
