These Labour politicians resigning because the government won't slash public services and benefits even more than they already have to provide funds for the Forever War tells you all you need to know about our Establishment.
Time to get rid.
Seriously.

1000s at Woolwich Crown Court right now as Judge Johnson weighs handing down “terrorist connection” sentence against 4 Palestine Actionists, despite them never being charged with or convicted of a terrorism offence.

Saving Lives Is Not Terrorism.

Met police chief Sir Mark Rowley tries to tie Russia and Iran to the riots in Belfast.

The same man tells us the marches against genocide, packed with Jews, are actually driven by Jew hatred.

It's all establishment smoke and mirrors, regurgitated by the corporate media.

1/ THE TEESSIDE DEAL: Two businessmen got the right to buy public land for £1/acre in 2021. The public body that owns it spent £450m+ cleaning it up.
This month, they sell 222 acres to Anthropic for £222m.
That's a roughly 1,000x markup, captured almost entirely by two men.

The government says nationalising water would cost £100 billion. @Feargal_Sharkey dug into where that number came from and found it came from a think tank report that was paid for by the water companies themselves, including @AnglianWater, @stwater, @SouthWestWater , and @unitedutilities .

So the water industry essentially funded a report to inflate the cost of taking them back into public ownership, and the government then used that number to argue against nationalisation. Sharkey is saying the number is nonsense because the source is the industry that benefits from staying private.

He also points out that these same companies have racked up £64 billion in debt and paid out £78 billion in dividends to shareholders since privatisation in 1989, while bills went up 40% and rivers filled with sewage.

Belfast knife suspect won asylum in Britain under 'fast-track' scheme introduced by Tory UK govt.

Then home secretary Suella Braverman & immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme.

A worker's right to withdraw their labour is a fundamental human right recognised by the International Labour Organisation, an agency of the United Nations. This MP does not support the
@POAunion call to reinstate the Right to Strike for all the UK's Prison Officers.

I’m thinking about The Filton 4 who will be sentenced today by a judge who is demonstrably unfit. Whether you agree with their action against the genocide or not, the fact is that they have been denied a fair trial by a jury of their peers & that’s not justice it’s injustice.

It is Trump’s and Infantino’s World Cup

It is racist to its core

For the avoidance of any doubt, Nigel Farage is a racist.

He once said his party shouldn't “worry about the n****r vote. They will never vote for us.”

In 2014 he was asked who should be allowed to Britain, he said: “People who do not have HIV, to be frank".

He has defended using the word: 'ch*nky' for a Chinese take away.

He has talked about the "Jewish lobby" and the "new world order" and the "globalist" conspiracy fueling anti-Semitism

He frequently links islam to terrorism, and is hugely islamphobic.

He lied about the identity of the Southport attacker after being 'misinformed' by Andrew Tate - leading to huge riots where many were assaulted and hurt

Farage also excused Trump's misogynistic "grab them by the pussy" remarks and also said that women in work are "worth far less" - he has also talked about abolishing mandatory maternity pay.

And yes it is reported that he "marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler Youth songs”

So yes, he is racist, and he is also sexist.

He is also a millionaire banker with ties to Russia and a hatred for paying his fair share of tax.

The impoverishing thinking of central bankers who want interest rate rises https://t.co/6fWqh9FnNq The Bank of England is gearing itself up for interest rate rises - to deliberately punish ordinary people for a war they did not create.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I am horrified that a car has been deliberately set alight outside the home of the family of Salma Yaqoob, a wonderful prominent anti-racist and peace campaigner in Birmingham.

I hope the police take this shocking incident seriously. Sending my solidarity to Salma & her family.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Peole are denying the reality of racism in policing, just as the Met has done ever since the Macpherson report.
Now there is even the outlandish claim that two tier policing discriminates against white people - turning reality upside down.

Bumblebees: much more clever than previously thought.

A remarkable new study provides evidence that bumblebees can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving— challenging previous belief that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates.

There is no need for British Sikhs to be issuing these statements!

They have no more responsibility for Henry Nowak's hideous murder than any of us.

Hundreds of white Brits kill someone each year.

White people didn't have to issue statements disassociating themselves!

Parliament has the power to Expel MP's, The House of Commons itself has the power to permanently expel an MP by voting to pass a resolution to remove them.
Someone should put forward a vote on Farage after what he did yesterday.

[Peter Shearer @shearernorthern]

They arrested Corbyn and McDonnell on a peace march! So let’s see them show there is not “two tier” policing and arrest Farage for incitement!
