Today’s vote at the Green Party Conference crosses a line and is rightly being condemned across the political spectrum.
Labour will continue working to ensure Jewish communities are safe and have their rights upheld. We must rid our society of the scourge of antisemitism.
Netanyahu on Britain:
We gave the Brits the intel that there was going to be an attack, an Iranian-sponsored attack, and pretty much the next day they slapped sanctions on us.
So it’s wild. I mean, the caving in, the collapse before the Islamist-Marxist alliance is very dangerous for the future of the West.
In media interviews, Burnham said he "won't hesitate" to recall Parliament if necessary
"So what I can say is there are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend. It is, though, still an ongoing and very serious police investigation. So I hope you'll understand that I don't say more at this point, but I wanted to confirm what we could say. But this will continue now. It's obviously a very serious investigation involving our colleagues in the United States, and we are working very closely with them. And I will say more when I can. Obviously, I've been dealing with this as I've been here in Liverpool, we have held a Cobra meeting here during the week. We are completely on top of things, but we will say more when we can"
🚨 Irish internationals who wanted to boycott the match against Israel were allegedly threatened with serious career consequences. 🇮🇪
Players were warned they could be blacklisted and prevented from joining English clubs owned by American investors if they supported the boycott.
Unique Sports Group are alleged to have been involved in applying the pressure.

Re: Man City. Regardless of how it ends up, no advocate of titles being handed to clubs who finished second. They didn't win it. City did. And sometimes City were so far ahead, teams would have fought harder to finish second if they knew this was maybe coming further down line
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham is set to scrap the law that bans football fans from drinking in the stands
"I don’t see how it can be fair that some supporters of one sport can be treated differently"
An extremely successful businessman who we let treat us like a cash cow for him empire. Fucking embarrassing that we still eat up their bullshit season after season
Andrea Berta, as the club's sporting director, is the most prominent face of Arsenal's transfer dealings.
But it would be a gross oversimplification for fans to place the sole responsibility on him for not signing the striker they were hoping for.
Berta operates within a broader system managed by the club's ownership, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE).
This isn't Berta's money, nor is it Arteta's either.
Both of them can only do what KSE agrees to.
On transfer deadline day, while Arsenal fans were hoping for an announcement of a new deal, KSE was actually finalizing the purchase of a controlling stake in the Los Angeles Angels baseball team, in a deal valued at around $3.9 billion (£2.9 billion).

🚨 | EXCLUSIVE : GABRIEL JESUS 🇧🇷
Everton FC have held talks with Arsenal FC in the last hours to discuss a deal to sign Gabriel Jesus before deadline day! 🇧🇷🚨🔵#EFC
Arsenal FC are ready to sell Gabriel Jesus but want a fee worth around £20m, while Everton are currently looking for a package worth £12m-£15m. 💰👀
There have been NO contacts between Gabriel Jesus and Everton as of now, but David Moyes is ready to push for the deal IF Arsenal give the green-light. 🤝🏻🚨
Everton FC also explored a deal for Richarlison as a new striker, but are now considering other options after Tottenham demanded £35m for the other Brazilian ST. 👀💰
Talks with Arsenal remain at an early stage, with the valuation gap currently the key issue. Everton will decide their next steps before deadline day. ⏳️🔵
We honestly don’t rage against KSE enough. The self-sustaining model is such a point of pride that makes it hard to moan about them but it’s a cover for a profit first attitude. Makes sense, it’s their business but seemingly their idea of success is profit/loss sheets
