Another day another Israeli war crime www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Every western journalist ought to be required to read this concise guide on how *not* to write about Israel and Palestine. It exposes every one of their racist assumptions: theintercept.com/2025/05/25/h...

Your 'aid' system will lead to chaos, as desperate, starving people fight for food. That’s great. They look like a swarming mass of the very 'human animals' you were talking about from the start. My short guide on how to starve a population to death: jonathancook.substack.com/p/a-short-gu...

A short guide on how to starve a population to death. My latest article: jonathancook.substack.com/p/a-short-gu...

I hear of a major shift in Russia's negotiating stance: Moscow seems to have dropped its claims over the parts of the four oblasts it has not already occupied. What matters now is that the Europeans stop leading Kiyv down the garden path with promises they intend to break...

Really enjoyed chatting to @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social on the Blindboy Podcast. We spoke about Thatcher, the power of art, and Palestine. Good craic! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

Support @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social's calls for a public inquiry into British involvement in the Gaza genocide 🇵🇸 ✍Write to your MP and ask them to support accountability for the crimes against humanity inflicted on the Palestinian people: thecorbynproject.com/gazainquiry

"Erasing Palestine in the name of Jewish trauma" Article by Jewish Voice for Labour (the only Labour people I admire!) www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/eras...

When I talk about my book, Jewish Not Zionist, groups like Jewish Voice for Labour also want to know why Palestine solidarity sounds different in Aotearoa. Our voice travels further than our numbers suggest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWzL...

BDS is such easy, effective action & yet so many of my seemingly informed, pro-Palestine friends simply don't observe it. It's literally the least that one can be doing in the west to impact Israel's genocidal capacity & still I see supposed progressives buying crates of coke. Right yourself.

Oh God, the UK's Zone Fever is primed to get even worse with Starmer at the helm. Launched in February 2025 under Starmer’s “AI Opportunities Action Plan,” AI Growth Zones are pitched as innovation hubs to make Britain an “AI superpower.” Thread, please read/share because things are moving fast

Music has the power to bring our communities together. It was an honour to speak at Wide Awake in Brockwell Park and support artists in calling for an end to all arms sales to Israel and the occupation of Palestine 🇵🇸

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the REUL Bill. Until June 2026, Starmer can allow ministers to amend or axe these laws with minimal scrutiny. The 3 key areas targeted are: Food safety, environmental protections, and employment rights. What is REUL?👇👀 open.substack.com/pub/european...

People often ask me 'Can the UK rejoin the EU while shackled by 86 deregulated Free Zones? No, it can't, the UK would have to realign its free zones with the EU Parliament's regulations, which prohibit the use of State aid for profit motives, why? 1/3 www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en...

Trump to pass law that dismantles US democracy, he is about to crown himself King. I shit you not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrpg...

My latest Substack article is free to read, it compares several EU SEZs with UK ones, and the contrasts could not be starker. Have a read, and please share and/or subscribe to my Substack, it's the place to be now, the MSM is owned by corporates. open.substack.com/pub/european...

Labour's funding crisis is intimately linked to the class politics of those in charge of it.

Meanwhile the people of Gaza are starving

Western capitals are still coordinating with Israel and the US on their sudden 'criticisms' of the genocide – just as they coordinated on their support for the slaughter. Read my latest here: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-i...

What do you call the actions of a state that's destroyed another people's hospitals, blocked all food and water reaching them, and is now denying entry to foreign doctors to treat the sick, wounded and starving? Is it a war? Is it eliminating terrorists? Or is it genocide?

Netanyahu and his foreign minister, Gideon Saar, suggest criticism by western leaders of policies currently starving 14,000 babies to death in Gaza is behind the fatal shootings of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington. It's "antisemitic" to talk about those babies, it seems.

This, from JG Ballard’s 2006 novel “Kingdom Come” (about a massive shopping mall in suburbia) is so prophetically on point it hurts

My latest article is free to read on Substack. It examines the relationships between deregulated free zones, corporate hegemony, and public services. Infrastructure is under attack by politicians working hand in hand with the asset classes. No one voted for this. open.substack.com/pub/european...

The media claims Gary Lineker has been pushed out after a "backlash" – as though you and I want him gone. No. Britain's genocide-supporting media manufactured the "backlash" it now cites as grounds for his departure.

Yes, BBC. It's been genuinely heroic the way Starmer and Lammy have hidden their anger towards Israel so completely until today – 19 months into the slaughter and starvation of Gaza's children.

Now is the time for lawful sanctions. When thousands of our babies are looking death in the eye because the Israeli occupation is denying all goods from entering Gaza, including baby formula and essential medical supplies, NEVER AGAIN IS NOW! #SanctionIsrael loom.ly/mJggH_s

You can't put a plaster on a festering gangrenous wound. Meanwhile, let’s talk money: your money. By 2024, the government had spent £19.78bn on freeports and SEZs. Imagine what £19.78bn could do for ordinary people. Thread publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5804/cm...

The slaughter is accelerating, Israel's genocidal meat machine is going berserk and Western leaders describe Israel's behaviour as "possibly in breach of International Law". Possibly? Possibly? Instead of cutting off all ties with Netanyahu they rap him with a warm lettuce...

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

I don't think people have the faintest idea of what's taking place post-Brexit. I'll put it simply. Zone Fever is here to stay, the UK is being carved up into patchworks of corporate fiefdoms, and taxpayers are footing the bill. No one voted for this.

More of that pro-working class Blue Labour philosophy in action.
