All the odds were stacked against Jeremy Corbyn.

He’s one of the only independents to win a competitive election in a general election since World War II.

He started his campaign late because of loyalty to his old party.

His constituency has a huge turnover.

Labour threw everything at this seat.

He suffered a relentless smear campaign.

He won against huge odds, and his team should be unbelievably proud of what they achieved.

In Pakistan, religion is used to shelter and justify ineptitude, stupidly, ignorance, misogyny and cruelty…

Death is scary, really scary, i mean we all know we’re going to die but how? when? where? we have no idea.😭

Ya Allah please grant us good endings.😭🤲🏾

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

This is not Hiroshima, this is Gaza.

Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel has dropped the equivalent of 6 ATOMIC BOMBS on Gaza.

Don't stop talking about Gaza as if your life depends on it, because their lives depend on it!

Men like Sahil Adeem & Khalil ur Rehman are our heroes. It is now a solid fact that we love to platform, cheer on, validate & empower oppressive men.

Meanwhile women, even when saying the right thing - will ALWAYS be the villain in the story of the eroding, Pakistani society.

[Raven @TheFeralWitch]

My dear young ladies..! There are two kinds of women..! Don't b like Ayesha , b like azba..!
Choose ur hero wisely...!

[D @Le_Sabre54]

Really really loved that young girl standing up for herself and other women by getting in that conman Sahil Adeem's face.

She was so steely and confident and refused to back down. Shabah!

Overwhelming support from the Glastonbury Festival crowd as English musician Damon Albarn gives a pro-Palestine speech before his set

[Rida Rashid @ridarashid_]

In a country where women can't even walk, work, or exist without abuse, you’ve set another legal precedent that gives any ex-husband the right to determine, a decade later, the validity of his former wife's new marriage based on his assumptions about her menstrual cycle duration.

Anthony Bourdain would have turned 68 today.

Listen to the celebrity chef’s powerful words in 2014 about covering Palestine.

[amna alam @beingamnaalam]

Genuinely wonder if they ever wonder how surreal this is. What have these siblings done in life EVER to be at the position they are? Did all that western education really teach them nothing?

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is from 24 years ago.

24 years ago.

But tell me again how the world started spinning on October 7th, 2023.

[Hassan @Gotoxytop2]

Bazid Khan said it's about time everyone realises that Pakistan is a 2nd tier team now in international cricket, in all formats. Can't win home test series. Got humiliated in ODI WC and could not perform even against associate teams in WT20. Embarrassing.

You watched "The Hunger Games" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "Star Wars" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "The Matrix" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "Divergent" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "V for Vendetta" and sided with the resistance.

When it's fiction you understand. Yet you refuse to see it when it's the reality you're living in.

Wild.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Please do celebrate 4 hostages getting their much-needed and well-deserved freedom back. But if you’re fine with scores of innocent Palestinians, including kids, getting killed in the process, you might be a racist who doesn’t value Palestinian life. You’re definitely heartless.

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

Does this carte blanche apply to Palestinians efforts to get their hostages released?

[victoria ♀️ @fatfabfeminist]

nicola has made every other celebrity’s cowardice so much more evident how are they not humiliated

[Casual Geopolitics @Adamemedia]

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas…

Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest medical facility the al-Shifa Hospital…

THIS IS A GENOCIDE...🇵🇸💔
