I’m not shocked at how useless this government is but I am genuinely shocked at how authoritarian and anti-democratic they are.

[Ally Fogg @AllyFogg]

Holy crap. Peter Kyle CALLED THE POLICE on his own constituent because she wrote him a letter about Gaza.

Ah yes because when you buy cigarettes at the corner shop a shady data firm keeps a copy of your ID and biometrics and sells it, and the data on what you bought, to an even shadier firm. Completely the same yep.

I hadn’t understood why so many people were getting their knickers in a twist re having to prove they were over 16 to use social media, after all we do it all the time for driving, alcohol & cigarettes, it’s about porn isn’t it?

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.

Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.

Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."

Free Marwan.

Quick trip to London for a conference. Plane an hour late. Eliz line only goes every half an hour. Aggressive mentally ill people on tube. Obliged to give my name and choose between oat and dairy milk to get a coffee. It's all quite irritating. If you are in my audience do not ask difficult questions.

In the least surprising news of the day it turns out the Met are dodgy as fuck and/or racist

🚨SCOOP: Man filmed in Al Jazeera ‘intimidation’ mob is a serving Metropolitan Police officer

@declassifiedUK has identified him as Special Constable David Soffer.

He was filmed calling a Palestinian journalist a "dog" and telling him to "go back to Qatar".

[Barak Ravid @BarakRavid]

🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue
🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S.
🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996
🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran

Oh man today’s episode of is he insane or has he been paid is a tough one

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself.

The regime says it’s America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area. Here’s what Iranians inside Iran say:

IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they’ve kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors.

The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet. Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout.

As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We’re talking about new levels of evil.

So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their “don’t care how many die as long as we stay in power” quest.

For the love of God and humanity, please stop.

@lewis_goodall suggesting unequivocally that Starmer cares about international law above all else is absolutely insane considering he’s enthusiastically supported genocide (a big no no under international law) for the last few years

[Jay @_Jay1993]

@AaronBastani They will soon be paid to change this position and they will fold.

[Jay @_Jay1993]

@John_Stepek @CamillaTominey Are you suggesting the female winner of the election doesn’t care about women’s rights? Do you think you know better than her?

[Jay @_Jay1993]

These tired hacks have no idea how to deal with a politician who actually has beliefs and principles @ZackPolanski it is beautiful to see

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Melbourne ask @ZackPolanski whether the Greens advertised their policies around trans rights, drugs etc to the Muslim community

Zack rightly questions the assumptions underpinning the Q. He also points out that everyone who voted Green voted for a party led by a gay Jewish man.
