Zack Polanski, "Why does it seem that our government is incapable of standing up to a US president?"
Jeremy Corbyn, "It's in the psychology of the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Office, a pro-US position"
"There's this assumption that we will always be close to the US, whatever it does"
"So when the US comes along with something utterly absurd and bizarre, like the bombing of Iran. For what?"
"They can't actually give a rational reason for bombing Iran"
"On one side they say to get rid of Iran's nuclear weapons, when they knew full well that Iran doesn't have any nuclear weapons"
"They then said we have to bomb Iran and the British government said they are not involved in this. Yet, at the same time allow US forces to use British bases"
"More specifically, Trump goes onto Andy Burnham the day after he's become Prime Minister and says, can we use RAF bases for US planes to take off and bomb Iran, but don't worry its only defensive"
"What was Burnham doing agreeing to that?"

£15bn builds 125,000 council homes, enough to house every family in temporary accommodation in England.
Andy Burnham’s government is spending it on one nuclear warhead programme.
Those families were told there was no money. Our solidarity is with every one of them.
The IDF commander who ordered the drone strike on the World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza which killed three Britons says: "I'm not sorry for what I did".
Last week, the IDF also announced it would not pursue a criminal investigation into the attack.

For 37 years, privatised water companies have fleeced customers and poisoned our supply whilst extracting £88bn+ in dividends.
Privatisation is a scam. It is absurd that successive governments have allowed this farce to continue.
Put water into democratic public ownership, now.
The level of destruction in Nepal is absolutely devastating.
My thoughts go out to all those who have lost loved ones & to rescuers risking their lives to help others.
All possible aid must be sent to save lives & to show survivors of this catastrophe that they are not alone.
One MORE back-pedal from PM.
Burnham said in 2023 Parthenon sculptures should be sent back to Greece “no strings attached”. In 2002, he supported law change to facilitate.
This week: “Ultimately it’s an issue for the British Museum”

Why do so many highly educated, comfortably off people in the UK either support Israel’s crimes and war crimes and GENOCIDE or are silent?
This attitude of people supporting or turning a blind eye was how the Holocaust happened
What is wrong with these people?
The wheels are coming off the Burnham bandwagon
A nice smile & an easy manner only gets you so far @andyburnham
What is needed is COURAGE
COURAGE to stand up to powerful interest groups like:
US
Fossil fuel companies
Israel lobby
Media billionaires
Other billionaires
It's time to put the brakes on data centres.
Here's how:
❌ End the blanket 'critical infrastructure' designation.
💧 Highest environmental and community standards for all new data centres.
📋 Create a comprehensive national strategy.
This is not a detainment camp in World War II, nor a prison in the Holocaust, this is Gaza. A chilling reminder that history repeats.
The difference between the Holocaust and Gaza is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the Holocaust in Gaza.
HOLY SHIT 🇫🇷🇮🇱
French authorities exposed Mossad-linked Israeli firm BlackCore interfering in elections across Europe, Scotland, Africa, and New York.
Fake accounts, AI bots and smear campaigns—used to push voters toward right-wing, pro-Israel candidates.
I stopped paying my Thames Water Bill months ago.
I have explained to them that I'm really happy to pay for the water element, but not for sewage when they aren't dealing with it safely.
Threatening letters so far
Court next?
