Jeremy Corbyn on Andy Burnham today:

“I want to hear from him what he’s going to do about arms to Israel and the genocide in Gaza.” 

Me too — and the preposterous proscription of Palestine Action as well.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

I'm Jewish, British & 64

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & others were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?

NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I feel I have an answer and it is profoundly disturbing

Govt minister James Frith: "you can be a Labour friend of Israel without being a Labour friend of the Israeli govts actions on that particular day"

Israel is a genocidal apartheid state. 'Labour Friends of Israel' are Labour friends of apartheid and genocide.

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

Today, Andrew Marr asked Jeremy Corbyn how he felt about Keir Starmer saying the Labour Party was “morally bankrupt” when he took over the leadership.

It was good to hear Jeremy set the record straight, as Starmer’s remark was massively insulting to many thousands of people.

Tory MP John Lamont in the debate on a petition calling for a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on our politics

Its not antisemitic to question the extent & influence of Israel on UK politics. But you know what is? Conflating Jews with a genocidal apartheid regime.

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

When the EHRC report identified two cases of antisemitism in the Labour Party, Keir Starmer said it was “A day of shame.”

So let’s discuss how shameful it is to arm a genocide, say Israel had a right to cut off food and water, and jail anti-genocide protesters as “terrorists”.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Rachel Reeves thought she was being soooooo clever when she scrapped the universal winter fuel payment.

She thought the electorate would see it as showing Labour was prepared to make tough choices.

But the British public were rightly repulsed, and she helped sink her government

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Breaking news. This is utterly performative. The Bill doesn’t have a hope in hell and it’s no substitute for a meaningful strategy.

[Double Down News @DoubleDownNews]

BREAKING: Keir Starmer Resigns

Media sold Starmer as 'forensic, decent & capable' PM. He was NEVER that as we made clear yrs ago:

"Starmer is a LIAR in charge of a brutal, authoritarian, inhuman political machine but you wouldn't know about that if you read or watched UK media"

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

.@jeremycorbyn is NOT antisemitic

He is a leading antiracist campaigner of his generation

He stands up for the rights of Palestinians and THIS IS WHY he has been falsely accused of antisemitism

SHAME on all those weaponising antisemitism to protect Israel from criticism

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Keir Starmer has gone — but we will never forget the role his government played in the greatest crime of our time.

Today, I re-presented my Bill for an independent inquiry into Britain’s complicity in genocide.

Restricting journalists at Holyrood to a designated pen is ridiculous, unnecessary and was made without any proper consultation.

Journalists have a duty to question elected representatives and the people of Scotland deserve to hear their answers.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

Two things @AndyBurnhamGM should do straightaway if and when he becomes prime minister

1. Drop plans to limit jury trials
2. Deproscribe Palestine Action

Great🧵on @ForWomenScot court win for the safety & dignity of women prisoners. “That Scottish Ministers defended this sexist & regressive policy for so long, and even went to court to do so, leaves a permanent stain on the reputation of every individual politician involved.” 👏
