I am fundraising for Alzheimer's Society in memory of my late Dad, who sadly passed away from the disease July 12th. Thank you. #memorywalk #JustGiving #Alzheimers https://t.co/JveddRaVqF

I was supposed to chair the @hasanthehun discussion at SXSW this week, who's been banned from entering the UK by Shabana Mahmood. First of all, @sxsw must facilitate a way for Hasan and Cenk to contribute remotely, as a bare minimum refusal to comply with government censorship.

@gazanotice The genocide of the Palestinian people continues in Gaza. Once again this night, the same images of the mutilated bodies of children who were celebrating Eid.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨 BREAKING: A horrific Israeli airstrike on Gaza has turned children’s bodies into pieces in yet another massacre targeting civilians.

[Marcus Markou @MarcusMarkou]

I don't care what political party you represent, Tory, Labour, Green, Lib Dem, Reform. I was taught, quite rightly, that the Holocaust was humanity's greatest crime. I did Holocaust Studies as part of my History/ Politics degree at Uni of Bham with the late great Professor Grenville, himself a Jewish refugee who escaped the terror of Nazi Germany as a kid. If you are not calling out the current genocide we are painfully witnessing in Gaza and Lebanon, a live streamed and documented genocide then you are dead to me. Labour, Green, Reform... Dont care. Start with a clear moral position on that before you tell me about how you will tax me and what your policies on education are or the environment etc or what you plan to do with the 20 mile an hour speed limit. I dont give a shit. Start with something we were taught would never happen again because of silent complicity. Tell me how you feel about children being shot in the head for fun or the raping of prisoners or the 100s of 1000s of dead and missing. Tell me about how you filter the unimaginable horror, the insane bombing and murder, day after day, week after week, months and now years. Dont just have an opinion. Show me that you're actually human and everything else (after a live streamed and documented geneocide that slowly destroys my own sense of humanity on a daily basis) will follow that.

What is the point of having a price cap if they keep on increasing it every few months?

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

This is verified and real footage of the IDF committing a double tap massacre against rescue workers in Lebanon. Israel is clearly giving orders to kill ambulance crews or this would not keep happening. The absolute evil behind this is breathtaking.

[Niz @NizMhani]

Absolutely amazing journalism by @declassifiedUK.

The man responsible for approving arms sales contracts with Israel conveniently failed to disclose his membership with the lobby group Labour Friends of Israel.

And he has no response....

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

I cannot believe anyone is seriously arguing for the Greens not to run against Burnham in Makerfield. The GPEW is not a faction of the Labour Party - we are a political force here to win, as G&D showed!

If Reform takes the seat, that's Labour's fault on any number of levels.

[W.J. Bird 🇵🇸 @williamjohnbird]

I’m old enough to remember when Starmer stabbed Corbyn in the back. And then Corbyn forgave him and gave him a plum job. And then Starmer did it again.

Starmer should never have been Labour leader in the first place.

[Socialist Voice @SocialistVoice]

Has Israel chosen the next Labour leader yet?

You know shit's about to go down when this pair of ghouls rock up to your doorstep

My reaction to Keir Starmer's last ditch press conference - an unsurprising reaction but possibly a helpful one (at least to those who, like me, consider him an abysmal PM).

Like many, I approached Keir Starmer's prime ministership with deep-seated pessimism, my expectations already set at rock bottom. Yet, I confess: I failed to foresee the clinical precision with which he and his inner cabal would sabotage their own administration and scar Britain.

The crux of their debacle lay, first, in a distinctly dictatorial, authoritarian reflex. And second—crucially—in a seething contempt for those who lent them their votes, while simultaneously performing a grotesque pantomime of flattery toward those who never would, and never will, support them.

Having exorcised from the Labour Party its most authentic voices—people of unimpeachable integrity, such as Ken Loach and Jeremy Corbyn, a purge that eluded even Tony Blair’s repertoire—Starmer embarked on a rampage:

He slashed disability benefits; armed and fed intelligence to the Israeli government as it executed genocide in Gaza; channeled his own inner Farage, perhaps his inner Enoch Powell, to vilify migrants and treat refugees as vermin; gutted international aid to masquerade as a defender of defence spending; bulldozed wildlife and their habitats; unveiled a new lexicon of draconian anti-protest laws; left trans people suspended in legal limbo; clung with religious fervour to absurd, socially ruinous fiscal rules; allowed Rachel Reeves to squander £100 billion covering the Bank of England’s outrageous and wholly unnecessary Quantitative Tightening losses—a gift that keeps giving to the City’s banks—while imposing yet another round of austerity on government departments and public services.

Once the great hope of the downtrodden, Starmer’s Labour has become the villain - the genuinely nasty party.

Once a human rights lawyer, he has single-handedly plunged Britain into a shoddy, incompetent authoritarianism.

Ask yourself why we heard so much about Green candidates but not Reform candidates like this one:

[Madelaine Hanson @MadelaineLucyH]

David Barker, the newly elected Reform councillor in Sunderland, battered his girlfriend senseless and BURNT HIS CHILD WITH CIGARETTES.

But they want to protect us, right?

[Dr Iain Darcy 🍉 🇮🇪 💚 @doctoriaindarcy]

Can't think why...

[Miguel @michaelhird]

@Adele_Thames Good riddance. But think, at least now you can focus your spare time on your hatred for Trans people. Every cloud.

[Miguel @michaelhird]

@DPJHodges Delightful, it is what they deserve.

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

Two evil witches.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

This is the moment a lot of people turned their backs on Labour forever.

[Miffy @miffythegamer]

She wasn’t cancelled. She chose to talk offensive bollocks about trans people, and in the process she alienated the LGBT+ community who decided to spend their money elsewhere.

It’s called the free market. Suck it up.
