Why is the focus always on the next GE? #Labour have a majority now. The party should focus on working together to improve the country while they can. I hate Starmer but a leadership challenge will just trigger a GE. @RestIsPolitics

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

The publics of western democracies have an unfavourable view of Israel, most at 70% or more.

Yet, in these same "democracies", such as the UK, the vast majority of politicians actively support aiding Israel's continuing genocidal slaughter in Gaza.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

The Arsenal parade was an incredible occasion, but it was also reminder of how much we take cleaners' work for granted.

So let’s use this as an opportunity to win fair pay and conditions for cleaners! My piece for @IslingtonTrib.

This is what proper journalism looks like. What a contrast to the lickspittles in the corporate media.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Emily Thornberry has today said the government has let down the Palestinian people, and allowed Israel to act with impunity.

The audacity.

Here she is in October 2023 refusing to condemn Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza.

Don’t let these people rewrite history.

[Alex Shams @alexshams_]

The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there

Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games

I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel executed Theodosia today in Qlayaa, South Lebanon.

She was on her way to take her exams.

Israel dropped a bomb on her car, killing her and her parents.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.

Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms Israel bombed a Lebanese hospital for the THIRD time. The ICU is completely destroyed.

A mother desperately rushed to find her premature baby alive amidst the rubble. Washington is fully complicit in these war crimes!

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

[The Comment @thebigcomment]

Let’s hope that all ‘friends of Israel’ stops soon and is banned.

There is a lack of transparency and unclear motives.

Taking money from a foreign government, lobbying for another country’s interests, spreading propaganda, or being influenced by a foreign state would more commonly fall under offences such as:

• Bribery
• Corruption
• Misconduct in public office
• Espionage
• Foreign interference offences under the National Security Act 2023

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Following harrowing testimony from French nationals detained by Israel, France has now referred reports of sexual violence, beatings and humiliation against Global Sumud Flotilla activists to prosecutors.

On 21 May, I wrote to the Foreign Secretary demanding urgent action over the interception of the flotilla in international waters, and the detention and degrading treatment of humanitarian volunteers, including British citizens.

France is acting. Spain is showing leadership. Where is the UK government? Nothing but a simp for Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

[Aprajita Nafs Nefes 🦋 Ancient Believer @aprajitanefes]

Listen carefully. This is not speculation.

Elon Musk, Mustafa Suleyman from Microsoft, and Dario Amodei from Anthropic are not giving opinions. They are ANNOUNCING THE END OF THE WORLD AS MOST PEOPLE KNOW IT.

What they are openly saying is this:

Within the next 12 TO 18 MONTHS, AI will completely take over most white-collar jobs. Coding, law, accounting, finance, writing, design, analysis, customer service almost everything that educated people do to earn a living will be done better and cheaper by AI.

This is not “some jobs will be lost.”
This is MASS HUMAN OBSOLESCENCE.

Millions of people are about to wake up one day and discover that their skills, their degrees, their experience… are suddenly worthless. There will be no jobs for them. Not fewer jobs. NO JOBS.

The harsher truth nobody wants to hear:

The elite class has already accepted that they no longer need most human beings to run the economy. Once AI and robots can do the work, the average person becomes an expensive liability. They are openly preparing for a future where the majority of humans have no economic value whatsoever.

This is why you’re hearing them talk about Universal Basic Income. It’s not charity, it’s a leash. A way to feed and control a population that has been made economically useless.

People are still making reels, scrolling, showing off, and living in total delusion while the ground beneath their feet is being destroyed. They have no idea that their entire way of life is about to be erased in the next 1 to 2 years.

This is not “technological change.”
This is the deliberate replacement of human beings in the economic system.

The machine doesn’t need you anymore.

And the people who control the machine just told you that in plain English.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

How many ordinary Americans even know this is happening, let alone support sending their tax dollars to fund it? If only Americans knew…

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Sky News completely destroys the Zionist regime's primary excuse for bombing Lebanon. The reporter confirms there is absolutely zero evidence of military activity in the civilian homes Israel is obliterating.

Washington is funding pure state terrorism!

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

Yvette Cooper justified the ban on Palestine Action by saying the group engages in violence, but two juries have now cleared activists of any violent intent.

Those activists could nonetheless be sentenced as terrorists despite the ban on Palestine Action being ruled unlawful by the High Court.

The UK government's politico-judicial campaign against Palestine Action is in disarray but the effort to weaponise terrorism laws against activists continues.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

In a democracy, the UK public have the right to know
1. Which MPs are members of Labour (or Conservatives) Friends of Israel
2. Full details of the funding

JOURNALISTS need to ask politicians about this - including in live interviews

[Tiago Guilherme @tiagoguilhermef]

Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados.

As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas.

Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado.

A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais.

As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.
