Yesterday Professor Mamode explained to MPs how Israel blocks medical aid from entering Gaza

[Sol Gamsu @SolGamsu]

Weird listening to @wesstreeting refusing to say he would provide extra funding for hospices for dying children today and defending labour's "tough decisions".

All whilst reintroducing a failed new labour hospital league tables policy - did you learn nothing from Ofsted?

British transplant surgeon Professor Nizam Mamode's harrowing testimony to the Select Committee about Israel’s quadcopters shooting at civilians and children in Gaza who were already injured and on the ground...after they had just been bombed.

1. Here are my thoughts on the pros and cons of staying on this platform.
Pro: We were here long before Musk took it over. We built this.
Con: He has used our creation to help elect a far-right autocrat, and build his own grim political career.

Trump appears to be unraveling live on stage

“When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy. They say, oh, he brings up these names out of— Well, that's genius. Right. Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him. Silence of the Lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory, but they always hit me. I don't bring it up too much because they have to take such a— he brought up Hannibal Lecter. What does that have to do with this? What is it? It has everything to do with it, right? He was… So I've done something for you for you that I haven't done in 20 speeches. I brought up Doctor Hannibal Lecter and we're allowing him, you watch, you watch these fake people will say again, he brought up Hannibal Lecter has absolutely nothing to do. You know I do the weave, right? The weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lecter, you mention insane asylum. Hannibal Lecter. You go out, no. There'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius. Hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT, longest serving professor has so many degrees, he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated. I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right. You know, that's the way it works. It's just one of those things and it's in the family and it's whatever”

“Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her” is one of the most powerful statements made yet in support of this ticket.

Thank you, Harrison Ford. 🗳️💙

It has come to our attention that a Facebook page called “HOPE not hate on sea” is promoting a fundraiser with Latifa Abouchakra as a speaker. Latifa Abouchakra gleefully praised the shocking attacks on October 7th and has worked for Iranian state-owned news outlet Press TV.

This Facebook account was created by a local group that has been inactive for years. The page has not been updated since 2021 and this event was the first post in years and we have no idea who put it up.

We are in the midst of reaching out to existing admins of the page to make clear that this event is not in line with HnH local group guidelines and should not be promoted under the HnH name.

We want to be clear that HOPE not hate does not support this event, nor were we consulted about it.

This is pitch perfect. It's the narrative that can win the White House and both in the writing and delivery this is a textbook lesson for all progressive politicians. 💥

Not often you see a journal with no charges for readers or authors these days.
Fantastic initiative.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Trump is scared.
Elon is scared.
JD Vance is scared.

And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a couple of coward billionaires calling the shots in America.

I want someone who is going to fight for a $15 minimum wage, take on income inequality, and fight for working people.

💥Proud to have hosted at the premiere of ‘UNDERCOVER: Exposing the Far Right’ a documentary that follows the high risk investigations undertaken by anti racist @hopenothate . The official event was cancelled over safety fears. Undeterred, HNH held an ‘alternative’ screening. 1/

Five nights at the Hilton and a booking service.

The MP for Clacton travelled to the US to support Donald Trump.

So why hasn’t he declared the donations that paid for his stay?
