Just another reminder that Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war - an illegal war that cost over a million lives.
He has refused to describe the systematic slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza as genocide.
So what will change? Nothing.
Arms sales to apartheid Israel will continue.
Palestine Action will remain banned, and more pensioners will be locked up.
Welfare will be cut to fund more weapons.
Immigration detention will expand, and mass deportations will continue.
Andy Burnham is not the second coming. He's the establishment's last roll of the dice.
We've already seen racist pogroms on our streets. That danger has not gone away.
So we must organise, build solidarity, and create power from below. Fascism isn't at the door. It's already here.
Only socialism can face down this barbarism.
The UK at the UN yesterday "We are horrified by footage of Israeli forces killing a 7mth old baby"
Horrified enough to take action, like halting all arms exports, imposing sanctions on the Israeli govt & economy, & ending all military ties?
So really you're not horrified at all
Very sad to learn that Mona Khalil died after weeks in the ICU following an Israeli strike that levelled her home in Mansouri. She was a very well-known environmental activist and dedicated her life to saving endangered turtles. She stayed in the south despite Israeli strikes because of her love for the land.
She was a civilian, a renowned figure but Israel targeted her house.
CNN profiled her in 2017 here: https://t.co/ZaMRnuS4zf
“I live every day to the fullest and don’t worry about tomorrow,” she told the newspaper.
Just absorb this for a moment.
The social media post of Israel's National Security Minister is so genocidal that it violates the rules of X.
Yes, that's right, even in the cesspit of Elon Musk's X.
Yet this remains a state armed by and allied to the West!
A small step, the smallest step, but it's a beginning.
Norway still has to answer this: how can a country that champions human rights, allow its vast sovereign wealth fund, one of the largest in the world, to invest in entities linked to an occupation the ICJ has found illegal?
Congratulations to Andy Burnham.
But this isn’t a team of advisers which looks like challenging wealth and power.
The race for Greater Manchester mayor starts today and it’s Greens v Reform.
The Greater Manchester Mayoral election is on!
@ZackPolanski will be there to launch our campaign on Saturday. I can't wait to get out there and rally behind our wonderful candidate!
It's a straight fight between Greens and Reform!
Come on! let's turn Greater Manchester Green!
London's Metropolitan Police are not investigating the Great Israeli Real Estate Event which took place in a London synagogue.
Please RT until they do.
Thank you.
Whatever the result, we badly need a party that is willing to redistribute wealth and power.
A party that will nationalise our public services, tax the super rich and call a genocide exactly what it is.
And that's the Green Party.

.@RupertLowe10 says 250,000 white girls were raped by "primarily Pakistani Muslim men".
Here are the official numbers:
Casey's national audit (2025): 700 recorded group-based CSE offences in 2023.
Police chiefs (NPCC): Pakistani suspects 13.7% of group gangs, white suspects 63%.
Run his claim. 700 a year, 13.7% Pakistani, is about 96. Over 25 years, 2,400.
The data is under-reported, so I will be generous and multiply it by 10. That's 24,000. And I will double it again to 48,000. Still a fifth of his number, with every assumption stacked in his favour.
So either the figure is wrong.
Or it is real. And if it is real, it cuts the other way too.
White suspects are 63% of group gangs, four and a half times the Pakistani share. On his own number that is more than a million white-gang victims. Lowe says nothing about.
And Casey records 500,000 children sexually abused every year in total. The largest group of perpetrators are white men.
Either way the headline collapses on its own arithmetic.
And more importantly, he appears to be weaponising victims and survivors for political gain.
Pathetic.
‘Inadequate measures’: Green Party MP Ellie Chowns pressed Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper why she did nothing to prevent an Israeli property event from taking place in London – one that included selling developments on illegal settlements in the West Bank.
Rights groups such as Amnesty International and Palestine Solidarity Campaign had warned the government about the event in the weeks leading up to it.
Chowns asked how the government failed to even prevent marketing of the expo, let alone stopping it altogether.

Today I raised grave concerns over the government's National Security Bill. The Home Secretary told me that she "disagrees with me almost entirely". The feeling is mutual!
