If the Israelis lay down their arms, a genocide ends. If Hamas lays down their arms, Israel’s planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza happens quickly and without resistance.

Most people claiming to NOT have free speech just seem to want to ignore my decades of public service in order to call me a “paki”

Well, I’m a British born Paki and proud to have dedicated my life to keep everyone safe & bring offenders to justice

It’s my mission & I don’t care

[Solomon Hughes @SolHughesWriter]

Tom Watson, former Labour Deputy leader, now works for Palantir, Flutter (gambling giant ) and Lodestone (corporate lobbyists for hire) - the takeover here is not the Greens being "taken over" by members wanting to move left, it's Labour being taken over by big business

The left has four years to stop Nigel Farage from becoming prime minister. Polanski’s Green leadership win is the starting gun on a race we must win, writes @meadwaj. https://t.co/crb1gRz3Dz

Reeves says Thames Water should find ‘market-based solution’.

Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice.

TW paid £10.4bn in dividends, £13.68bn in interest payments. L Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers.

We can't afford more of the same.

The scene in Schindler's List when Amon Göth idly picks up his rifle and shoots prisoners for fun was shocking in portraying the utter barbarity of Nazi atrocities, and here it is happening every day in 2025 in live time and the world allows it

@DavidLammy David, this stuff doesn't work anymore (if it ever did). It's just hot air. It has no value or power. Israel knows this and ignores it. You know that they know it and will ignore it. This leaves the only reason you're doing it is in order to say that you condemned it.

The necessity for food banks in a rich, developed country is what we should be talking about when we talk about 'the economy'. Not interest rates, not growth, not taxes: we should be talking about the manufactured poverty and hunger built into the system and how to stop it.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Israel’s security minister stormed into solitary confinement to threaten Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti — a cowardly stunt aimed at breaking the spirit of a national symbol of liberation. They have failed before and will always fail.

This is yet another display of Israel’s impunity and inhumane practices: torture, abuse, and the detention of thousands of Palestinians — including children — without charge or trial.

The world must uphold its obligations under international law, protect Marwan, and secure the freedom of all Palestinian detainees.

In a wide-ranging interview with Tribune, Jeremy Corbyn discusses his hopes for the new Left party, the potential for coalition building, and his determination to overcome sectarianism on the way to forging a truly democratic form of modern socialism. https://t.co/d7a5TA8GBg

Margaret Thatcher did not 'deliver a decade of national renewal'. She delivered three million on the dole, deindustrialisation and widespread poverty.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Whey they say 'Thatcher brought about meaningful change', they mean Britain lost secure well-paid employment, social housing, trade union rights, final salary pensions and adequate funding for the NHS, social care and schools.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Israel has killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Esharif and four of his colleagues in an airstrike on their tent outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza. This deliberate assassination of Palestinian journalists is part of Israel’s ongoing effort to silence the truth and carry out genocide in darkness. But no matter how many they kill, our people will continue to document and expose these atrocities to the world.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Precisely this:

“Instead of criminalising peaceful demonstrators, the Government should be focusing on taking immediate and unequivocal action to put a stop to Israel’s genocide and ending any risk of UK complicity in it.”

Not a single new reservoir built in England for 30 years. ❌

3 billion litres of water lost from leaking pipes every day. ❌

What's the private water sector's solution? Hosepipe bans and ruining rare river ecosystems. 🤯
We need public ownership now.

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

I said, "People want action" when the UK said, "We are prepared to take further action" for a Gaza ceasefire.

As Israel now intends to escalate it's killing, I urge the govt to take action to increase pressure on them to stop.

Suspend all arms supplies.
Suspend all trade.

In the meantime, Sir Keir Starmer 'has urged the Israeli government to reconsider'. Yes that's it; 'to re-consider'. https://t.co/6O71dFLxeo

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

This isn't a thread about the genocide in Gaza.

It's a thread about a likely genocide somewhere else: Ethiopia. But please don't scroll on and ignore it. This story deserves amplification.
