Keir Starmer did NOT 'stand for nothing'.

He stood for the interests of the establishment and Zionism.

He was the frontman for the disgraced Labour Together project.

He is complicit in the Gaza genocide and the British media whitewashed his complicity.

Could you please explain this @LloydsBank. It raises questions of whether anyone should bank with you &/or whether you should be boycotted for an assault on freedom of speech & expression

[Tony Greenstein tonygreenstein.com @TonyGreenstein]

Why the hell are the 5 @ukgreenparty mps @sianberry @EllieChowns @carla_denyer@AdrianRamsay @thegreenparty not opposing this Bill?

it has nothing to do with national security or terrorism its about criminalising dissent and opposition to British foreign policy

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Yeah I know Andy Burnham doesn’t wear a tie, likes buses to run on time and detests the London elite, but any chance we can find out what he thinks about Israel’s genocide in Gaza and how he’ll pursue accountability?

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

“The Labour Party’s commitment to justice, freedom and security for Palestinians is unwavering.”

In which parallel universe is this true? #GazaGenocide‌

[Gwydion M. Williams @GwydionMW]

Sir Keith Starmer has resigned as Labour leader. He remains as a caretaker British Prime Minister till Labour chooses the next leader. Nominations open July 9th.
Burnham is the most likely replacement, but it's all open.
I never quit Labour, thinking something like this might happen. I assume I get a vote.

Luckily free speech & debanking champion @Nigel_Farage will be right on this.

[Greg Hadfield @GregHadfield]

.@LloydsBank. I was interested in opening a current account today.

But the wait on the phone line enormous.

And when I got through I asked for a guarantee I wouldn’t be de-banked for supporting Palestine against the genocide by the terror state of Israel.

I was put on hold. Then the line went dead.

This happened three times….

MPs criticising the US-UK Pharma Deal in the Commons this afternoon. This deal is a democratic scandal.

@LaylaMoran up first saying the government has agreed to divert “an eye watering amount of NHS money to very large American corporations without a vote”

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Remember when everyone was kicking off over climate activists being falsely accused of blocking ambulances, even though they had a policy of letting them through?

People were making up hypothetical scenarios like, “What if your nan was having a heart attack and she was in that ambulance?”

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

If this were a photo of an Israeli hostage, it would be shown on every single news show with endless condemnations about the barbarity of the captors.

But it's a picture of a Palestinian hostage (one of thousands held by Israel), so social media is the only place you'll see it.

What most people already understand, even without the economic terminology, is that firms like BlackRock do not simply acquire these assets on their own.
The ground is prepared for them by politicians who design the policies, oversee the privatisations, and weaken the safeguards that once protected the public interest.

Essential infrastructure,water networks, ports, energy grids, data centres, and other public necessities,is handed over to private investors under the banner of efficiency and modernisation.
The acquisitions are often financed with enormous amounts of debt, much of which is then loaded onto the acquired companies themselves.

The public is told this will deliver better services and greater investment. Instead, consumers end up repaying the debt through higher bills, increased fees, and declining service quality. Infrastructure that exists because society depends upon it is transformed into a mechanism for extracting financial returns.

When the consequences become impossible to ignore, a familiar pattern emerges.
The politicians who championed these policies have often already moved on,frequently into lucrative advisory, consulting, or boardroom roles within the same financial and corporate sectors that benefited from the reforms they helped implement.

The executives collect their bonuses. The investors collect their returns.
The politicians collect their post-office rewards.
Meanwhile, the public is left with deteriorating services, environmental damage, and the bill for cleaning up the mess.

Thames Water's enormous debt burden and repeated sewage scandals are not merely the result of corporate mismanagement.
They are the predictable outcome of a system in which political decisions and financial interests become increasingly intertwined, while accountability becomes increasingly difficult to find.

The gains are privatised.
The losses are socialised.

And the revolving door keeps turning, ensuring that those who create the rules often end up working for those who profit most from them.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Pro-Israel lobbying in British politics is very real.

So why can't we debate it?

“Judge says lawyer misled jury in Palestine Action trial”

This is a witch-hunt.

Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience, irrespective of the directions of a judge.

[Greg Hadfield @GregHadfield]

I’ll call again tomorrow.

To reinforce my message:

I will not do business with @LloydsBank because it has “de-banked” @TheCanaryUK for supporting Palestinians against the terror state of Israel.

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

⚠️UK people, wake up!

Did you know it's highly likely you and your family live in a deregulated Special Economic Zone?
There are 91 of these zones, and counting, in the UK.
What Is A Special Economic Zone (SEZ)?
An SEZ is a geographically designated area where normal planning rules, corporate tax arrangements, and regulatory oversight are loosened to attract private investment.
The pitch is always: jobs, growth, levelling up.
Heard this before?
What actually happens: public money, aka State aid, removes the risk and friction for corporations and dumps it on the public sector.
Land values rise.
Private capital captures the gain.
Democratic accountability is bypassed because decisions are made by zone boards, development corporations, and mayoral offices rather than elected councils.
Secondary legislation on zone policy bypassed Parliamentary debate, public consultation, and notification of the press.
This is why you have not heard of free zones.
Both the Tories and Labour colluded on the nationwide rollout of free zones immediately after Brexit. While out of office, Labour publicly said free zones were not a silver bullet for the economy, but mayors like Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram signed off with the Tories on setting them up anyway.
Zone ideology is the resurrection of Thatcher's free zone policy, which delivered hugely underwhelming results, partly because EU state aid rules limited how far the model could go.
Brexit rewrote those rules, opening the door to the scale of corporate subsidy now flowing through free zones to major asset managers and private capital.
The books below on free zones are few and far between. They all examine the history and contemporary application of free zone ideology.

[NewsCord @newscord_org]

Ah so they do attribute sources!

When israel says they’re bombing a Hezbollah tunnel, it’s reported as fact.

When the Gaza health ministry says israel has killed Palestinians, attribution is a priority in the headline: “according to X”.

Double standards destroys reputation.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

For decades, Polly Toynbee's job at the Guardian has been selling us whoever's Labour party leader as the Messiah. With the exception of one: Jeremy Corbyn.

"Dismal, lifeless, spineless". Doesn't that sound more like a perfect description of Starmer?

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Liberal imperialism in one image.

De-banking - a new form of censorship

JOHN GREEN argues that the spreading practice of closing bank account without proof of criminality is an infringement of an elementary human right
