85 MPs backed my Parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel.
Thank you to everyone who contacted their MP to sign it.
The motion is now closed but, with a new Parliamentary session starting, I’ll soon be launching a renewed campaign for sanctions. Watch this space!
Didn't take long, did it?
#Reform's Candidate in #Makerfield, Robert Kenyon, has his X account suspended for racist replies to a constituent, support of British Union of Fascists, and incitement to hatred & violence.
He 'mothballed' his Facebook, I guess, for the same reasons.
Excellent choice for Makerfield for the country and for @UKLabour. Can’t wait to be up there helping @AndyBurnhamGM win for all of us. Thanks for stepping up my mate.
15 years ago I was fortunate enough to work for Steve Rotheram. In that time we spent much of it working on the disclosure of the Hillsborough documents and through it I saw @AndyBurnhamGM up close, working for the families.
I saw him behind closed doors, away from the cameras. He was every bit as angry, determined and passionate to reveal the dark underbelly of the state and fight for justice when he was sat in his office at 10pm at night writing a speech, as he was sat in a Sky News studio with the nation watching his every word.
When it comes to standing up for the working class, he’s the real deal and the strongest political communicator I’ve seen. I’m looking forward to hitting the doors for him in this hugely consequential by-election.

It is right to say these TWO things
1. I oppose antisemitism and I want Jews in the UK to live their lives without fear
2. I oppose Israel's war crimes, including GENOCIDE, and I oppose UK government's support for and enabling of those war crimes and GENOCIDE
The fact that there’s more noise about Zack Polanski not paying some council tax on a narrow boat, than there is about Nigel Farage taking a £5m bribe to run as an MP….confirms that it’s pretty fucking impossible to have functioning democracy AND a billionaire owned ‘free’ press
Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era.
Farage, for himself not the many.

BRUTAL REALITY CHECK⚡️🗿
Israel just passed death penalty law for ~10,000 Palestinian prisoners.
This violates the Common Article 3 applies to all four Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn't apply to Israel.
Two German tourists went on holiday to Hawaii for 3 weeks.
But they never left the airport. They were arrested, interrogated for 7.5 hours, accused of intending to work illegally with zero proof.
They were held in prison for 3 days then deported.
DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE USA.
I’ve had loads of abuse for this, predictably, and plenty of people have accused me of supporting Hezbollah. But no one seems keen to explain why targetting the Lebanese medics who came to help the 3 TV journos was justified.
Gary Lineker: Genocide is bad.
The right: Stick to football.
Jim Ratcliffe: The UK is being colonised, and I don't pay personal income tax here.
The right: Yaay, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Man of the people. True patriot.
Rashford: Feed the kids.
The right: Boo. Stick to football.
