Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The escalation between Iran and Israel is a tragic & entirely predictable consequence of Israel’s attacks on Friday. UK govt must make clear it will have no part in this aggression and explicitly rule out any military support for Israel.

Funny, on the ball, as always. Still fuckin' depressing though.

Honoured to visit Derry with @bloodysundaytrust.bsky.social for the 15th anniversary of the Saville Report. We remember the 14 unarmed civil rights activists murdered on Bloody Sunday & stand with all fighting for truth from Ballymurphy to Rafah. One world. One struggle. Until we are all free.

Still buzzing with the excitement from Saturday's action day. We've won big in Suffolk and we can win more! #TogetherWeWin

Jo Cox , was killed9 years ago today 😢 She was a kind considerate human being, also fine politician due to go far. But more importantly Jo was a Daughter, sister , Wife and mother May she continue to RIP 🙏

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, "It's concerning that we're sending jets out to the middle east when all the talk should be of de-escalation" "If Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government really wanted to show they were serious about de-escalating, they should stop selling arms to Israel"

If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament. Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

The emperor is naked. We all see it. And yet the crowd roars. Trump’s parade wasn’t just farce - it was a symbol of post-truth politics. My new piece on fairy tales, shame-free populism, and the fight ahead.

Hello everyone. #SocialistSunday time again. Thoughts, as ever, go out to anyone affected by the horrific events in the Middle East. Will follow back like-minded people.✊ #FreePalestine #PeaceForPalestine #PeaceForGaza #GazaFamine #StopArmingIsrael #NetanyahuWarCriminal

Grenfell fire was caused by corporate greed; calls for unlimited fines, ban on public contracts. 72 people died, no one prosecuted. Corporations responsible for corruption, bribery, tax dodges, sewage dumping, energy price rip-offs. We can have strong democracy or corporations, not both.

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

Unlike Iran, Israel refuses to sign the non proliferation treaty. Unlike Iran Israel already has nuclear weapons. Unlike Iran Israel refuses to allow IAEA inspection & oversight of its nuclear programme But the UK govt tells us they are concerned about Irans nuclear programme.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

A fair question!

🥰🖤

Starmer is willing to put British military personnel at risk to defend an apartheid regime engaged in an all-out genocide against the Palestinian people and whose latest attack on Iran was an egregious breach of international law. Totally subservient to Netanyahu & Israel.

It's timely to repost this...
