@novaramedia While Corbyn wanted to raise taxes on the rich to pay for public services, Starmer had a much simpler ambition.... he was just looking for someone to buy football tickets for him and underwear for his wife.
Incredibly powerful moment to witness in Portland, where a dozen Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, including my husband @MikePrysner, burned their uniforms in honor of Aaron Bushnell’s sacrifice & called for active-duty soldiers to protest and resist. FREE PALESTINE!
Today's ICJ hearing was devastating. Horror after horror, laid out in plain sight for all to see.
South Africa spoke for millions around the world desperate for this massacre to end — and put the UK & US government to shame for their deplorable silence, cowardice and complicity.
I am heartbroken by this utterly appalling loss of life.
And I am sick and tired of ritual expressions of sympathy by those who condemned these human beings to death.
Governments across Europe have blood on their hands — and we demand justice.

75 years ago, over 750,000 Palestinians were violently expelled from their homes by Israeli forces.
The Nakba did not end in 1948 — Palestinians continue to resist a system of colonial dispossession and apartheid.
Today, we renew our calls for a free and independent Palestine.
“Britain’s misplaced nostalgia for its imperial past is one of the reasons why Britain believes it can survive without any allies post-Brexit.”
@DalrympleWill on why Britain needs to face up to its colonial past and apologise
If David Baddiel mocked footballer Jason Lee by wearing black face and a pineapple on his head regularly on the BBC, thus encouraging the racist bullying of Lee by thousands, then waited 25 years to apologise on his own documentary, maybe Baddiel isn't actually an anti-racist?
Rishi Sunak promised us a fresh start.
Why, then, is he planning on repeating the mistakes of the past and unleashing another wave of austerity?
There will be no fresh start without a clean break from our rotten economic system.
"Are you on the side of the workers? That is how history is going to judge you. Where were you during this wave of disputes"
Mick Lynch of the @RMTunion at the @The_TUC rally tonight with some questions for our politicians.
Rishi Sunak's 90-second statement reflects a Conservative Party devoid of any plan to fix the multiple crises they have created.
No ideas. No conviction. No mandate.
This government has a simple choice: embrace the transformative change this country needs or get out of the way.
A "tough choice" is deciding whether to feed your children or heat your home.
Austerity is not a tough choice. It is a political choice to wage class warfare on the most vulnerable.
The right choice is taxing the rich, public ownership, and a redistribution of wealth & power.
The debacle of Liz Truss’ short-lived premiership is a symptom of a broken economic system and a trashed democracy.
We will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis — and ordinary people will pay the price — until we finally build a society for the many, not the few.
