From now on, I will be posting a campaign update around teatime every day to let you know where I’m up to.
Here’s the first one - hope you find it interesting. Enjoy the evening sun everyone!
Jeremy Corbyn destroys all politicians for homelessness:
‘We walk past the homeless every day’
‘Begging for money for shelter’
‘A terrible existence’
‘We travel’
‘It’s the same in every major city’
And asks:
‘Why haven’t we acted to prevent this?’
“What is wrong with us?”
‘English Patriot’ Tommy Robinson says he’s “spreading the word about the failed state of Britain” while on tour in America. The far right activist is also boasting about an invite to the State Department; Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, helped make it happen. Time to remind ourselves how & why their toxic bromance began: Why is Elon Musk backing Tommy Robinson? | WATCH Long Story Short: https://t.co/UGpPYmROWx… via @YouTube
📢 LONDON: Over 200,000 marching through Central London against the far-right and for Palestine.
🤦 Meanwhile Tommy Robinson's 'Unite the Kingdom' demo is reported to be less than half the numbers of his previous march.
On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, we remember that dispossession and exile are not mere footnotes of the past but living, ongoing realities.
To speak of justice today is to name the catastrophe of 1948 and to recognise that no future can be built on forgetting. Freedom and equal rights for all, from the river to the sea, is the only vision worthy of the name.
As we mark another Nakba anniversary, the genocide that started then is intensifying. What we witness in Gaza and across the occupied territories is not a war, not clash of equals, nor a tragic but inevitable conflict — it is the violent, relentless logic of white settler terra nullius colonialism, dressed in modern military hardware and sustained by western complicity. A people is being erased, deemed superfluous, their humanity denied so that their erasure may be justified.
To commemorate the Nakba is to stand with the living against the coloniser’s lie that some lives are mere obstacles. It is to insist that remembrance must become resistance, and resistance is not only a prerequisite for liberty but also of existence.
Westminster psychodrama isn’t what real politics is about. Politics is about the everyday reality of people’s lives.
My speech yesterday on the record level of homelessness in our society.
Thing is, the 'United the Kingdom' march literally turns central London into a 'no go zone'.
I'd be literally risking my safety if I went into central London.
Now think about, say, Muslim families.
It's a march defined by unapologetic hatred of Muslims.
The U.S. can’t afford to deal with housing, healthcare and childcare. But somehow, we always have the money for yet another bloody war?
It’s time to say NO to a government that invests in war over the needs of working people.
Labour MP Naz Shah has written a gripping and jaw dropping book about her life growing up amid poverty and abuse, how her mother came to kill the man who abused her for years, how she was forced into a teenage marriage in Pakistan. In this Ways to Change the World she talks about how she went through all that to become an MP, and how British society is structured to 'keep people in poverty'. It’s a great listen. https://t.co/1MxBbqWBJS
At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…
Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.
So whilst the we're all suffering the losses due to Brexit whilst paying for it that nazti grifter Farage has been paid £5 million for Brexit!
He's making the Billionaires wealthier at our expense then being paid that money that's literally from our pockets!!!
😡😡😡😡
NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct.
He failed to declare around £380,000 in outside interests (approx 4x MPs annual salary) incl payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.
Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.
You don’t stop @Nigel_Farage & @ReformParty_UK by defending the status quo.
You stop them by offering a genuine alternative.
That’s why the politics & vision associated w/ @JeremyCorbyn still matter.
Democratic socialism is the answer to a neoliberal model that’s failed many!
