@B7AKE She’s not even coming to power anyway

[saad ali @saadaliXX]

@Tush27J I can’t even stand her

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Convicted in the US.

Pardoned by Trump.

Record donation to Reform.

Crypto-billionaires. Criminals. People who think they can buy and sell British politics.

That’s who Reform stand for.

That’s who they’ve always stood for.

[Reform UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Crypto billionaire Ben Delo says the record-breaking donation is about ensuring a “fair fight”.

Yeah right, “fair fight”.

Ben Delo co-founded BitMEX and pleaded guilty in the US to wilfully failing to establish and maintain legally required anti-money-laundering controls.

He agreed to pay a $10m criminal fine.

Then Donald Trump pardoned him.

Now he has handed Nigel Farage’s Reform UK £36m.

Reform UK keeps trying to tell people it’s an anti-establishment insurgent fighting wealthy elites.

Let this sink in: the biggest political donation in British history has come from a billionaire crypto tycoon with a criminal conviction subsequently wiped away by Trump.

One person.

This isn’t ordinary people “taking back control”.

It once again begs the question - who does Reform UK really answer to?

[T @MrTund]

After watching the Tommy Robinson stuff I’m impressed with the right wing grift it’s actually soooo easy, he’s already on £55k in 12 hours.

The ability to get stupid people to donate is quite something

I mean he kinda does

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

This is Lord Rothermere.

He is a billionaire who owns the Daily mail. He lives and works in Britain, but opts out of paying tax in Britain.

He is so patriotic he has avoided paying millions and millions (perhaps hundreds of millions) in tax by being a ‘non dom’ despite living here.

No wonder he’s scared of the Green party who want to tax the rich.

Channel 4 exposing one grifter at a time.

[Sam @SamCKx]

The Channel 4 documentary about Tommy Robinson is on live tv right now and showing how donations made by ordinary working people literally went directly to gambling sites or were taken out in cash to buy drugs.

If you donated to Tommy Robinson, I’d advise you join a class action lawsuit suit to recover the £millions he has stolen through fake fundraising.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city.

But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row.

My piece for @TheTimes.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began.

Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019.

That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

Strong agreement across the world on today’s UK action against illegal settlements and settler violence that are an existential threat to the two state solution. No one should be profiting from stolen land.

[Winston Peters @NewZealandMFA]

New Zealand is deeply concerned by the deteriorating situation in the West Bank. There has been a marked escalation in Israel’s actions, jeopardising the prospect of a durable peace.

Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are a violation of international law. Expanding settlements undermines prospects for a two-state solution to the longstanding conflict.

New Zealand strongly condemns violence by settlers against Palestinian civilians and calls for accountability for those responsible.

New Zealand joins international partners in calling on the Government of Israel to end the expansion of settlements, prevent and address settler violence, and refrain from actions that further undermine the prospects for peace.

New Zealand strongly opposes actions that advance annexation or threaten the forcible displacement of Palestinians. Such measures are incompatible with international law and risk perpetuating the cycle of violence and insecurity.

A two-state solution remains the best hope for future generations of Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security. New Zealand remains committed to supporting this outcome.

[Torah Jews @TorahJews]

It might be a dark day for British Zionists like yourself, but not British Jews.

Your outrageous efforts to politicize Jewish identity as inherent with Israel is truly heedless and shameful of someone with an official “Rabbinical capacity.”

Israel is a political entity. Jews are a religious entity. Get on with the program and stop exploiting Jews like that.

No Chief Rabbi, this is truly a GOOD day for British Jews

The most senior British Jewish politician @Ed_Miliband has called out the appalling crimes of the state of Israel which falsely claims to act on behalf of all Jews

Your constant justification or denial of Israel’s crimes is a source of shame for many British Jews

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.
