Always important to have a good book to read when you're being deported

Solidarity and love to Charlotte Church - of course she shouldn’t have to write this. But it’s a beautiful thing she has:

In the run up to #InternationalWomensDay I remember the vilification of the women protesting for their basic human rights. We now commemorate & celebrate those protestors. A century later the ruling party is still vilifying protestors - and history will again judge the protestors…

Mr Galloway also said that Britain stands 'at a very dangerous crossroads', adding that it's 'perhaps as dangerous as since the summer and autumn of 1940/41, and there's no Mr Churchill in this picture' to 'unite our people'.

'It's not for the unelected prime minister Rishi Sunak to pick the MP in Rochdale.'

Newly sworn in MP George Galloway says that the people of Rochdale elected him with a 'thumping majority' that the 'governing party didn't even come second'.

He is right. A vicious ‘culture war’ scapegoating Muslims and taking away civil liberties is being unleashed by a failed govt which is supporting a genocidal war abroad.
I, alongside others, have had some political differences with George Galloway MP but the issue of genocide…

This is not self defence. It is uncontrolled vengeance, indulged by weak and cruel MPs in UK Parliament. Who have the temerity to accuse those calling for the end of this slaughter extremists. 13,000 babies killed and still that is not enough to move their chilled hearts:

The sudden outpouring of concern about the dangers caused by public protest against the slaughter of Palestinians should be ridiculed as the self-serving nonsense it is.

The political and media establishment now whipping up fears for the safety of MPs – so they can continue…

Good to see this public acknowledgment and rare apology. But what does it say about how poisoned UK politics is and fear of offending Israel supporters that the Archbishop had felt the need to publicly refuse to meet with Palestinian Christian priest in first place?

Starmer should be very, very, worried after Galloway win trib.al/naIUbRC

Rather than denying Israeli soldiers massacred a crowd of starving Palestinians, Israel’s National Security minister just… admitted it.

Not only admitted it.

Celebrated it.

And used the massacre to justify calling for the little aid getting into Gaza to end altogether.

'It's the biggest cycle of protest there has been of mass protest in British history but there has been a tiny number of arrests...there is not a single example on any of our demonstrations of any violent incident towards a bystander of any kind, whether a politician or anyone…

As one of the MPs for Sparkhill I am expecting an apology for this utter drivel. My kids hang out in Sparkhill day and night, never had a moments worry, I go there weekly and live literally 5 minutes walk from there and used to live there myself.

Once again Peter Oborne nails it: UK politicians are whipping up an anti-Muslim panic. Where’s the evidence? middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-cla…

So true. Directing fear and hate towards Muslims is the go-to tool for cynical politicians. Adopted across the political spectrum now, not just far-right. Today we see it in Tory Liz Truss & Suella Braverman’s hysterical statements, & the lies of Labour Speaker Lindsay Hoyle…

Hard not to see this through the lens of GBNews owner Paul Marshall’s private Twitter feed, riddled with the vilest Islamophobia. He’s spending millions of pounds a year to buy bigots like 30p a platform to spew hate. Imagine a Labour MP talking like this about a Jewish Tory.

Keir Starmer has confirmed that he spoke with Israeli President Herzog before lobbying the Speaker of the House to ruin the SNP ceasefire motion.

British surgeon Nick Maynard recently returned from Gaza & shared what he saw with Taj Ali It’s heart shattering to read the details of the suffering, especially of children & I struggle to sleep. Yes I know there is always suffering in this world. But the frightening…

Thanks Owen Jones for cutting through the shameless spinning - enabled by the BBC & ‘serious’ commentariat. The result is not only the ongoing horrors in Gaza, & poisoning of democracy in U.K. but unleashing of fear & hate against those who dare to point out the suffering of…

Despicable: Are there any depths this govt & the so-called UK opposition won’t stoop to shield Israel from any criticism for its genocidal action? Now blaming fear of Palestinian supporters for their cynical manoeuvring: theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
