MAGA and Reform have spent years screaming that London is a war-torn no-go hellscape.

London's murder rate is now lower than every single US state and every big US city.

Philadelphia's is 12x higher. Maybe MAGA should sort their own cities out before lecturing ours. 🇬🇧

Least surprising news ever.

There’s your patriots!

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING!

Armed Israelis are escalating DEADLY assaults against defenseless Palestinians in the West Bank!

They have reportedly just shot in cold blood five men in Tal village and Far'ata/Qalqilya.

Their leaders openly talk of #Gazification

THESE CRIMINALS MUST BE STOPPED!

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

The steady daily killing and brutalising of Palestinians in the West Bank has nothing to do with 'fighting terrorism' or 'security' and everything to do with grabbing land by killing and scaring the people living on that land. Where's the international condemnation and ACTION?

@Feargal_Sharkey on the privatised water industry.

The solution is simple. Prosecute the bosses, fine the companies into bankruptcy & take our water back.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Am I right in thinking that Sadiq Khan is the most senior Labour politician so far to have accused Netanyahu of genocide?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: allowing the US to use British air bases for its illegal war on Iran is a catastrophic, historic mistake.

There is surely nothing more patriotic than 120 millionaires, including Gary Lineker, Brian Eno, Val McDermid and former Greggs chairman Ian Gregg, saying: “We want you to tax us.”

So, to those who have consistently argued against taxing the rich, particularly the Tories and Reform UK, can you now come up with a list of millionaires who are opposed to this move?

Not millionaires you claim will leave. Not hypothetical millionaires. Actual millionaires who oppose being taxed more.

Because if taxing the rich is supposedly such a terrible idea, surely finding them should be easy.

[Kim Johnson @KimJohnsonMP]

I'm one of 80 MPs & Peers calling on the PM to:

- Recognise the UN’s findings on genocide & implement the ICJ ruling in full
- Impose sanctions including a full arms embargo
- Ban trade that supports Israel’s illegal settlements

End Britain’s complicity in genocide, now.

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

It is not decent to lie. It is not decent to indulge warmongers. It is not decent to, as happened to Faiza Shaheen, abandon a mother who has devoted her life to beating former Tory leaders in safe seats because she is too left-wing. It is not decent to humiliate a predecessor because it’s expedient to do so. It is not decent to refuse to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty, then scrap the two-child benefit cap after caving to internal pressure and to try to take the credit in a resignation speech.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

In Ed Miliband's first remarks overseas as foreign secretary, he condemns Iran but not the US or Israel and mentions "our Gulf partners". He talks of Russia's "aggression" but not Israel's, and speaks vaguely of the "suffering" of Palestinians. No change.

The new Health Secretary was gifted a total of £165,439 from backers connected with the healthcare industry, it has emerged

That figure, covering the two years from 2025, makes Yvette Cooper the second biggest recipient of cash linked to the private healthcare industry

Luke Akehurst aside, is any Labour MP prepared to put their hand up and admit to being a supporter of LFI?

Who are these statements issued on behalf of?

[The Elders @TheElders]

“Palestine could literally disappear. The EU countries have to realise their responsibility. It’s on their watch.”

Returning from the Middle East, Mary Robinson, Hina Jilani and @HelenClarkNZ met with EU officials and diplomats in Brussels to call for an end to trade with illegal Israeli settlements.

Zohran Mamdani: “When it comes to Palestinian New Yorkers who are disappointed, I understand it. We are talking about someone who has been charged with crimes against humanity. Someone who has visited this city on many an occasion and who has been welcomed by previous mayors. I want to make it very clear that welcome ends with me. I will not be welcoming Benjamin Netanyahu or any other war criminals when they come to this city”

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

Andy Burnham has still not lifted Yvette Cooper's proscription which sees thousands of good people arrested as terrorists just for holding placards.

Please RT this & don't vote for a Labour Party which introduced & supports it.

[Huda Ammori @HudaAmmori]

Shabana Mahmood enforced the Palestine Action ban, oversaw the unprecedented sentencing of direct action protestors as terrorists and the arrests of 3000+ people for holding signs.

She did that to protect the Israeli weapons industry.

Their position on Gaza hasn't changed.
