I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Two years ago, I quit Labour and backed the Greens and independents.
This is how the then-Labour leader of Haringey council responded.
Yesterday, she lost her seat and her council to the Greens.
Maybe listen next time @perayahmet!
The 17 groups Your Party were backing this morning vs the 14 they've now posted after it was pointed out the candidates included Tories and slum landlords.
Farewell The Black Country Party, the Oldham Party, and Walsall Community Independents. We hardly knew ye.
@alanwilliamz@thisisyourparty I signed up as a paying member when Zarah launched, I re-registered as per their instruction when the party re-launched. I now want to leave the party, so cancelled my membership last month and guess what? They still took payment this month! They charge my card so no DD to stop.
Don’t appoint a landlord as Homelessness Minister.
Don’t appoint someone taking thousands in donations from private health companies as Health Secretary.
Dont appoint someone taking thousands from Israeli lobbyists as Home Secretary.
There’s a theme here.
We warned this was happening.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has been enabled by UK-made arms, intelligence support and the unwavering diplomatic cover of the British government.
Keir Starmer, David Lammy, Rishi Sunak and David Cameron all belong in The Hague.
The illegal attacks on Iran by the United States are reckless beyond belief — and threaten the safety of humankind around the world.
Diplomacy was possible. Instead, a catastrophic war has been ignited by the aggression of two nuclear states, Israel and the United States.
Meanwhile, the genocide in Gaza continues unabated with the shameful military support of our own government.
The last Labour government made the mistake of following the US into a devastating war. Human beings abroad paid the price.
This Labour government needs to learn the lessons of the past, otherwise it will be remembered for the more dangerous world it has helped to create.
I echo the call made by the UN Secretary-General: “There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”
17 hours after its unlawful seizure and capture, the #Madleen crew remains held offshore, reportedly near Ashdod. I call on:
– Israel to release them immediately, and let them sail unimpeded to Gaza;
– The UK to act under its Article 94 UNCLOS duties as flag-state to ensure the safety of the crew;
– Crew members’ home states (Brazil, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Turkey), to intervene to ensure the safety of their citizens.
There is no legal basis for Israel’s actions. All states must uphold their obligations under the Genocide Convention—to prevent further acts of genocide and end Israel’s impunity.
It should never have fallen to ordinary citizens to do what states refuse to.
Last October, the Prime Minister told LBC that "Israel does have that right [to cut food, water & power from Gaza]."
Today, in the Chamber, he claimed he’s "well aware of the definition of genocide" & that's why he’s "never referred to [Gaza] as a genocide."
We won’t forget.
About 1,000 leaflets distributed in South #Chadderton this evening. #Oldham West Chadderton and #Royton Vote Tony Wilson 🗳 Independent socialist Palestine activist Trade Unionist lifelong campaigner and anti racist. The only candidate with that description. #FreePalestine
My campaign video. Independent socialist pro Palestine candidate for #Oldham West #Chadderton & #Royton lifelong campaigner, Trade Unionist & anti racist. The only candidate in the constituency with that description.
If you like what you hear please like & retweet #FreePalestine
Vote #TonyWilson for #OldhamWestChaddertonandRoyton. Labour are no longer a socialist party. They are keeping children in poverty, enabling genocide, and have a proven liar for a leader. Vote for Tony, he wants to lift children out of poverty for good. Easy choice 🗳
@ElectricityNW Power still out in OL9, website says it was restored ar 04:09, but house alarms are still going off and no power to my house or any I can see from here.
@Busted I had tickets in my basket and ticketmaster insisted I change my account password, no reset emails came through until the tickets had timed out, now sold out again 😭 Last chance tomorrow, gutted.
@TicketmasterCS Sorted now, the emails suddenly came through at once, the tickets I had in my basket expired and is now sold out. I only used my account and bought tickets for another event a few weeks ago, and this is when you want me to reset and it fails until after I've lost my tickets 😭
@TicketmasterCS Trying to buy tickets and its telling me I need to reset my password, tried to reset countless times but no emails have come through, please help!
@Newman_Pastoral Are children being refused food when they have no money on their accounts? My child claims to have seen this happen, even though a letter was sent out at the start of the year acknowledging the #CostOfLivingCrises and that no child would be denied food.
