Here’s why I have less than no sympathy for Angela Rayner.

@DalloulAhmed, a Palestinian takeaway owner, was a constituent of hers.

She’d met him several times, visited his shop and posed for pictures with him, emphasised her support for Palestinian freedom.

She gave him a tour of Parliament. They repeatedly corresponded by text message.

Within weeks of the genocide, his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and two little nieces were murdered in an Israeli air strike.

He was desperate to evacuate his wife and little daughter, only 4 months old, from Gaza. This little child was buried under rubble three times by Israeli attacks.

He emailed Angela Rayner twice to seek her help evacuating his family. She ignored him.

He then turned up to a Labour fundraiser in January 2024, and stood up, clutching pictures of his dead mother, talking about his murdered family, asking for Angela’s support for a ceasefire.

She knew exactly who this man was.

He was then thrown out of the meeting and on to the street by security like he was trash. She did nothing, and simply said “Thank you, you’ve made your point.”

Just take a moment to absorb what was happening here.

A Palestinian man she was friendly with, whose family had been slaughtered by a British-facilitated Israeli onslaught, whose pleas to evacuate his wife and daughter had been ignored by her, stood up holding photos of his murdered mother, pleading for her to take a stand against the violence slaughtering her family.

It gets worse. A few days later she was interviewed about the incident by Sky News’ @BethRigby, who framed it as an example of the sort of threats that politicians have to face.

Here is one utterly repulsive example of the dehumanisation of Palestinians.

Imagine this was a Israeli man whose family had been killed on 7th October.

If the same thing had happened, it would have caused a national scandal and ruined Angela Rayner’s career long before any stamp duty row.

Since this hideous episode, so many of Dalloul’s loved ones have been murdered by the Israeli government that their names fill three pages.

Angela served as deputy prime minister in a government which continued to arm and facilitate this genocide.

I used to have huge respect for Angela Rayner. But she’s someone whose pursuit of power led her to make an accommodation with the worst people in the history of the Labour Party.

The great moral test of our time was Israel’s genocide, and a belief that Palestinians are human beings of equal worth.

Angela failed that test. Her political demise should be mourned by no one.

#BBCBreakfast reporting that a journalist who works for a London based newspaper was sheltering in a UN school when Israeli forces took him, stripped him to his underwear, bound him, blindfolded him, filmed him, & then took him away.

The journalists name is Diaa Al-Kahlot

Never ever forget Keir Starmer standing there, red faced, poppy pinned to his Savile Row suit, refusing to call for a ceasefire, while Palestinian children are being killed by Israel at a rate of 1 every 10 minute.

He is a monster.

Mark Stone on Bidens address: " ... and solidarity for Gazan civilians under bombs he is supplying"

What a line.

"Do you have a plan for what you will do if the ground invasion begins?"

@GhassanAbuSitt1: "We will stay with our patients and defend our patients right to life... if the Israelis decide to commit genocide, then that is on the international community who saw this coming"

in five years everyone currently hooting and hollering for blood will pretend they were against this.

@DunelmUK hi I received a call from your delivery centre yesterday to confirm a delivery of a dining table today. I was to receive a delivery time slot today which I had not, the tracking info hasn’t been updated. We’ve waited in for the delivery. Please confirm what is going on?

[Lauren @__lhml]

Also interesting marketing policy. Can send offers to customers but can’t update customers on unfulfilled orders made in… *September*

[Lauren @__lhml]

@BierCompany how can you be selling a product for 50% off that was due to be dispatched to customers by 14th November and still hasn’t been received?? Emails ignored.

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

This is 94-year-old Ken's final call

@MrsABC321 @cemycott A google search of Serco’s profit margins would probably reveal where it’s coming from.

Visiting every country in Europe before I turn 30 is so close, but Belarus is making it real far rn. 813 days to go….

My daughter got a platinum jubilee book about the Queen, she also got a nice mug w/ the Queen's face on it. The book was sent to all kids in the UK and it cost 12 million pounds to do that. Some of her classmates only get to eat during the free school lunch they get.

@rozya @bethanyrutter Just jumping in to add that we have this and it’s fabulous. It also has a bit to put a seatbelt through at the back if travelling in a car or to put through the extendable handle of a suitcase through. We’ve taken many many train/tube journeys using it 👍🏻

[Lauren @__lhml]

If anyone wants them just drop me a message. Train sold out and others couldn’t book on so we’ve booked a taxi instead 👍🏻
