Here’s why I have less than no sympathy for Angela Rayner.

@DalloulAhmed, a Palestinian takeaway owner, was a constituent of hers.

She’d met him several times, visited his shop and posed for pictures with him, emphasised her support for Palestinian freedom.

She gave him a tour of Parliament. They repeatedly corresponded by text message.

Within weeks of the genocide, his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and two little nieces were murdered in an Israeli air strike.

He was desperate to evacuate his wife and little daughter, only 4 months old, from Gaza. This little child was buried under rubble three times by Israeli attacks.

He emailed Angela Rayner twice to seek her help evacuating his family. She ignored him.

He then turned up to a Labour fundraiser in January 2024, and stood up, clutching pictures of his dead mother, talking about his murdered family, asking for Angela’s support for a ceasefire.

She knew exactly who this man was.

He was then thrown out of the meeting and on to the street by security like he was trash. She did nothing, and simply said “Thank you, you’ve made your point.”

Just take a moment to absorb what was happening here.

A Palestinian man she was friendly with, whose family had been slaughtered by a British-facilitated Israeli onslaught, whose pleas to evacuate his wife and daughter had been ignored by her, stood up holding photos of his murdered mother, pleading for her to take a stand against the violence slaughtering her family.

It gets worse. A few days later she was interviewed about the incident by Sky News’ @BethRigby, who framed it as an example of the sort of threats that politicians have to face.

Here is one utterly repulsive example of the dehumanisation of Palestinians.

Imagine this was a Israeli man whose family had been killed on 7th October.

If the same thing had happened, it would have caused a national scandal and ruined Angela Rayner’s career long before any stamp duty row.

Since this hideous episode, so many of Dalloul’s loved ones have been murdered by the Israeli government that their names fill three pages.

Angela served as deputy prime minister in a government which continued to arm and facilitate this genocide.

I used to have huge respect for Angela Rayner. But she’s someone whose pursuit of power led her to make an accommodation with the worst people in the history of the Labour Party.

The great moral test of our time was Israel’s genocide, and a belief that Palestinians are human beings of equal worth.

Angela failed that test. Her political demise should be mourned by no one.

Tim Crosland, a former government lawyer and founder of charity @PlanB_earth was one of 27 people arrested today at the foot of the Gandhi statue in Parliament Square for allegedly showing support for a proscribed organisation.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Interesting legal question: how many orders of magnitude does the prohibition on supporting Palestine Action extend to?

Holding a sign saying “I support Palestine Action” would appear to breach the law.

What about those who explicitly state they do not support Palestine Action, but support those who hold signs supporting Palestine Action?

Or those who support those who support those who hold signs supporting Palestine Action?

Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 suggests support only applies to the proscribed organisation, not those who support the proscribed organisation, but is there any case law on the point? This feels like an important & live question for likely hundreds of thousands of people wondering where their rights to free speech end & potential imprisonment for supporting terrorism begins.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

It’s funny that Mark Rowley says that the proscription of Palestine action is now the law and therefore they “have to enforce it”.

Last time I checked, burglary, bike theft, class A drug dealing & phone robbery were also against the law, but the Met Police have largely given up enforcing these laws.

Interestingly, the cases against the pro Palestine protesters arrested yesterday will likely be investigated at the Met Police’s offices on Hertford Road in Barking (outlined in blue below), which deal with offences such as terrorism. This is one of the most secure sites in London, but I have been explicitly told by @metpoliceuk that they “do not have the resources” to protect working class communities (outlined in red) from ongoing & sometimes serious criminality being committed just metres away from their nice secure, fenced compound.

I guess some obligations to enforce the law are stronger than others?

solidarity with Dr Patrick Hart who became the 3rd GP to be suspended last month as a consequence of his climate activism.

[Philip Banfield 💙 @DrPhilBanfield]

It’s getting really unclear just what the GMC does do help doctors raise legitimate concerns when they are ignored. Read this thread & taking a view yourselves. I cannot condone breaking the law, so I conclude that the law & GMC must change for the sake of patients & the planet.

[Health for XR @DoctorsXr]

We continue into Day 7 of our vigil in support of Dr Patrick Hart outside the @gmcuk offices in London today. The @gmcuk is not only failing in its duty to protect patients from the climate emergency but is persecuting those doctors who do take action - https://t.co/SSgB4lldhM

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

24% of Americans get their health insurance from Medicaid.

Republicans voted tonight to burn Medicaid to the ground.

And for what? To fund a giant tax cut for their billionaire friends.
