If Keir Starmer bans Pro Palestinian marches as they allegedly hurt the feelings of British Jews, then he must also ban orange order marches in Scotland and the North of Ireland, to ensure the Catholic community are no longer actually terrorised by Sectarian anti-catholic bigots

I had the honour of meeting both in South Lebanon. Exceptional journalists that were at the forefront of documenting Israeli war crimes.

This is Gaza.

Entire cities erased forever.

But we should focus on the football

[Yvonne Ridley 4 Glasgow @yvonneridley]

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark when Baroness Margaret Hodge, a key figure in the Israel lobby seeking to influence UK foreign policy and the Labour Party in favour of Israel, is in line to become the next Ofcom chief. Can I just remind you, how concerning I find this revelation as Hodge was credited with the dubious honour of leading the now well documented fake anti-semitism allegations against MP Jeremy Corbyn. Her proximity and friendship to the disgraced Peter Mandelson should cause @KeirStarmer the Prime Minister to put a huge question mark over her suitability to become Ofcom head. Both she & Mandy admitted to working "every single day to destroy Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership". I've known @jeremycorbyn for more than 25 years and can say with certainty that he is a thoroughly decent, kind human being whose reputation took a hammering from two peers who today have a proven track record for lying and deceit. Neither are fit for office and Mandelson, friend of convicted paedophile Epstein, has gone. Inserting Hodge into the Ofcom role is a form of insanity and bound to backfire adding to Starmer's many ill judged appointments.
Back in 2019 she broke all trust and privacy protocols when she made a secret recording in the then Labour Leader's Parliamentary office.
But I can go back further to 1982-1992 when she was leader of Islington Council. Her initial response to allegations of the widespread physical and sexual abuse of children in the borough's care system was to do nothing and call out "sensationalist and gutter journalism" by the @LondonEvening Standard. Just like her close friend Mandelson, she failed to act on or heed the allegations of a paedophile ring operating under her nose. She did eventually apologise but by then she had ignored whistleblowers including social worker Liz Davies, who tried to alert senior council members, including Hodge, about the abuse, but these warnings were not acted upon effectively at the time.
Clearly this woman is not fit to sit as head of Ofcom, a key role with significant responsibility for safeguarding, particularly regarding the protection of children and users from harmful online content.

[Robin Monotti @robinmonotti]

This is Epstein's best pal with the person who will become OFCOM chief, who gets to decide what is disinformation, misinformation and "malinfornation" in the UK. She gets to decide what gets scrubbed off the internet, including entire channels. Any questions?

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Chilling text message revealed from British Health Secretary Wes Streeting - a long time supporter of Israel - to disgraced Mandelson:

"Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing, and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children."

The British gov knew all along what Israel was doing, all the while it was arresting British grandmother's for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide.

Remember when no country offered its dock to the British MS Braemar cruise with passengers that had COVID? Guess who helped them.
Cuba of course was not included in its route, but Cuba is about of solidarity and humanism.

Russia remains banned from participating in the Olympics for being at war with Ukraine.

Israel is allowed to participate after killing nearly 73,600 people in a genocide, around 20,000 of whom are children.

Can someone explain this to me?

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Another child murdered.

Playing on a beach and blown to pieces by a gun boat.

Meanwhile in Ireland our leaders ignore the OTB and tell us all we're becoming antisemitic based on a bogus survey.

The grip Israel has on the West is equally terrifying the heart breaking.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Netanyahu just keeps killing Palestinian children without restraint. There is no ceasefire for the families of these victims. The UK government cannot remain silent whilst these war crimes continue. https://t.co/n7JWRnxwI8

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Israel has just murdered 26 people in Gaza, among them 3 young children.

There is no ceasefire - just continuous brutal oppression and death.

All supported by the UK/EU/US

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

Western leaders and their sycophants in the media have finally - at the World Economic Forum in Davos - decided to change the script on their "rules-based international order," apparently over Trump's threats against Greenland. Threats that are plainly illegal, plainly monstrous. Another step into a yawning abyss, taking place as usual over the heads of people who live there and stand to pay the price. But these European and allied hypocrites are the last of all people who should be allowed to socially distance themselves from the smouldering ruin they have helped make of the world, nor should they be allowed to pretend now that this is all the work of Donald Trump.

These very leaders closed ranks with their American buddies in the Biden administration and set a torch to international law when they armed, backed and defended Israel's genocide in Gaza. It took months of popular pressure for a small handful of EU states - including Ireland - to venture even mild criticism of the apocalyptic slaughter Israel was carrying out. It took tens of thousands of innocent dead and the threat of complicity in crimes against humanity for them to even mention a ceasefire. The indelible stain will never wash off them. Even now - even now! - they will not break with Israel, conspiring with Netanyahu and Trump in various ways to bless the farcical and murderous "peace" imposed on Palestinians, hoping that the genocide - which has not stopped - will simply fall out the back of our heads so they can all just move on.

None of this is recent; none of this is new. As the rest of the world knows, the double standard from America's hangers-on has been the rule, not the exception. These same little leaders all lined up like clapping seals for a hideous war of aggression on Iran last year. Mere weeks ago they couldn't even bring themselves to describe what Trump did in Venezuela, let alone utter that it was illegal, because they had spent the last decade and more pretending that they too had the right to simply declare foreign elections illegitimate and to decide for the people of sovereign countries who their president was. This exact clique of flunkies and "yes men" have spent their careers helping to burn down every semblance of law, gloating at their victims, because they thought it could never happen to them, and now the most predictable thing in the world is happening.

Many of us were warning about this all along, but they didn't listen. They shot the messenger and carried on. The reality is that this is the world of their own making, and the tragedy is that ordinary people - who entrusted them with their destinies - now have to live in it and bear the consequences. None of these figures will ever feel the crunch, but - 11th hour rebrands and fawning press notwithstanding - they will be remembered by generations to come as the great fools of history, and they deserve it.

[Ciaran Tierney @ciarantierney]

I don't give a damn about the private life of ex-footballer David Beckham. Never did.

I do give a damn that the "@IDF" criminals who murdered children from a football academy close to my heart will never face justice for their war crimes.

BREAKING: The people who did this to Gaza are deeply concerned that Iran might have broken international humanitarian law

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

If you believe that any significant amounts of the Venezuelan population are out celebrating the bombing of their country by the USA you need a new brain.

We were told the same about Iraq, Libya etc etc

There's one sole beneficiary - the US (and their oil billionaires).

Despite the destruction, Children in Gaza light candles to celebrate the New Year

The signs read: "The People of Gaza Deserve Joy"
