We are going to have the best-defended food banks in HISTORY! 🇬🇧

Red Line for Palestine Protest. Wednesday 4 June! Join an arms embargo and sanctions protest to make a human chain around Parliament! Wear *RED* and bring banners 📍Jewish Bloc meetup @ Westminster Abbey Sanctuary SW1P 3JS ⏰ 11:15am Later comers ask the stewards where the Jewish Bloc is.

So, here we are: The Western Press, which hitherto regurgitated Israeli propaganda , is now conceding that a genocide is in progress. But that's it. No calls for a UN military intervention or even of sanctions. This is complicity by other means. www.ft.com/content/ba6e...

In destroying north Gaza's only surviving facility for kidney dialysis (no doubt claiming it was... Hamas), Israel has indirectly condemned to an agonising death countless patients. Another day another Israeli genocidal act. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Reform shows its true anti worker colours DB pensions, where they still exist, benefit the working class pensioner They do not benefit corporations, insurance companies, or those who are already millionaires. That’s why they want rid of them Be careful who, and what you vote for…

BREAKING: Israel mistakenly lets slip plan to murder Greta Thunberg and Liam Cunningham 👀

Hind Khoudary reports that in two of the 'aid distribution hubs' Israel has established in southern Gaza Israeli drones & tanks have opened fire on Palestinians collecting aid. Many people have been killed, shot in the head or upper body as they were trying to get food parcels

MPs are floating a “transition period” to soften the blow of PIP cuts—so claimants can move onto “other benefits.” That’s fantasy. PIP is to be the gateway. Lose it, and you lose access to nearly all other benefits. That’s the cliff’s edge. #TakingThePIP

No ifs, no buts . . . #FreePalestine

Nice to see the New Statesman taking the Greens seriously, and identifying @zackpolanski.bsky.social as the leadership contender who poses the biggest threat to Labour www.newstatesman.com/politics/lab...

A leadership candidate promoting an opinion piece by a frequent Spectator and Mail contributor who calls us the UK Green Party (incorrect) and is essentially telling us to get back in our perceived environment box instead of speaking out against genocide and the inequality crisis. No, thanks.

Preparing pots of hot rice and vegetable soup in western Gaza City—not a luxury, but a lifeline. While bombs rain down and borders stay closed, we cook what we can, feed who we can. This is hunger fought one meal at a time, in the shadow of a siege that wants us empty givebutter.com/gaza-soup-ki...

So called deal for ceasefire 👉"Israel’s position and did not contain commitments to end the war, withdraw Israeli troops or allow in aid as Hamas had demanded." The Guardian So not a deal. Israel true intention 👇 Israel is a terrorist state. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

If the Treasury fail to provide Angela with the funding needed to deliver enough social homes in the Spending Review, they can wave goodbye to building 1.5 million new homes. A promise made to the country Worse still, they’ll be condemning an entire generation to a cycle of poverty and homelessness

They can deny it all they like… This Labour government are complicit in a genocide. They could stop selling arms to Israel. They could stop aiding in their intelligence operations. They could act now and try to end this. @heidialexander.bsky.social

‘We need the genocide to stop permanently’ – Palestinian Ambo www.channel4.com/news/we-need...

The Gaza Freedom Flotilla’s next mission is set to sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday, June 1. It is named Madleen, after Gaza’s first female fisherwoman, Madleen Kullab.

New analysis of the 2025 local election results: This year we saw the lowest ever average winner’s share of the vote at 40.7%, including 75 candidates who were elected with less than 30% of the vote. The system isn't working. It's time for Proportional Representation.

"What is your solution to dealing with Hamas.. to bringing this conflict to an end..." Israeli Hadash MP Ofer Cassif: "... the only solution is the liberation of the Palestinian people"

I'm very pleased to see Dr Faiza Shaheen appointed as the head of @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social. Faiza brings amazing experience as a political campaigner, inequality researcher and organisational leader. Exciting times!

That we have not, long ago imposed total boycott on Israeli goods, utterly condemned Israel's actions, demanded a UN-peacekeeping force stop the slaughter & drive Israel out of Palestine shames us all & shows up Starmer & the west for what we are: genocide-enablers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wondered why none of the local supermarkets had tinned sardines today. Not exactly a ‘canary’ in the mine but a warning of what is to come, perhaps www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/tinned-...
