God this is depressing 👇 #Labour #Planning #Nature #DestroyingProtections www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I wrote this as a critique of 3 prominent liberal Zionist writers in the UK but it has broader relevance and lays out a set of demands I think we need to be making without caveats to end the war in Gaza. josephfinlay.com/hedgingtheir...

If @lukeakehurstmp.bsky.social were Jewish he might have some inkling of the pain his constant cheerleading for the barbaric Israeli regime causes the large and rapidly growing number of Jews who know a #genocide and a #WarCrime when then see one

Pro-Palestine protesters have lined a bridge across from the UK Parliament and displayed a banner warning MPs: 'You will be on trial.'

Solidarity with the thousands gathered outside the House of Parliament to call on the government to stop arming Israel now! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Been lots of debate about what might turn the dial on child poverty. But we hear far less from families in poverty. Our new briefing sets out a blueprint for a successful child poverty strategy, grounded in experiences of hardship changingrealities.org/writings/get... Pls read + share this 🧵

NEW: Hundreds of people have taken part in a pro-Palestine protest outside the Houses of Parliament Activists surrounded the parliament to form a "red line" for Palestine while calling for an arms embargo

My instant response to Winter Fuel Payment news & key message to the Chancellor (I heard while walking to the office, so pls forgive the fact it was done there and then for speed)

The government says it conducts an assessment of Israel's compliance with international law every 6-8 weeks. And it still hasn't assessed that Israel has violated such in its "conduct of hostilities". Labour continues to do its best to protect Israel. #DCUKparliament

🚨Five Labour MPs visited Israel on a trip sponsored by Labour Friends of Israel last week. They met with Israeli president Isaac Herzog who said the "entire nation" of Gaza was collectively responsible for 7 October.

#bds it's gaining momentum 👏 www.timesofisrael.com/spain-renege...

The Madleen Gaza aid flotilla – where Greta Thunberg is aboard – reports they've just spotted a drone hovering overhead:

70 yr old Irish activist Máire ní Mhurchú, who is known as D Murphy, was arrested by the IoF in the West Bank Palestinian village of Khalet al-Daba’a on Sunday, Izrahelli Police confirmed on Tuesday. She was simply there as an observer..... #IzrahellIsATerr0r1stState

Net favourability towards Israel hits new lows in key Western European countries Germany: -44* UK:-46 France: -48* Italy: -52** Denmark: -54* Spain: -55** * lowest since tracking started in 2016 ** lowest since tracking started in 2021 yougov.co.uk/internationa...

The 12-person crew, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, is expected to reach Gaza on June 7.

Another day another protest. Emergency Red Line protest tomorrow Wednesday 4/6 at 11:30 Parliament Square. We must pressure Starmer to act on Palestine with a complete arms embargo & strong sanctions. Mealy mouthed platitudes are not enough. Come if you can & bring friends. We need numbers. Wear red

Israel no longer hides its genocidal aims in Gaza. Will the world keep looking away? - https://www.972mag.com/israel-no-longer-hides-its-genocidal-aims-in-gaza/

I think we need to bring the excellent insult 'pricklouse' back into use. Museum of the Home, London

"Billboards supporting striking Birmingham City Council bin workers have appeared across Birmingham, calling for no pay cuts for the city's refuse crews and urging The Labour Party to stop blocking the deal." via @unitetheunion.bsky.social

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has launched a criminal investigation into Israeli-Canadian soldiers suspected of committing war crimes during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. qudsnen.co/canada-launc...

Here are all of the places where kids can eat for free or £1 over the May half term, as families face the cost of living crisis.

When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

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.
