.Adil Ray OBE to Keir Starmer: 'Why should anyone believe you?'

Starmer ignores the question.

He is then asked if the next Labour govt will introduce new safe and legal routes for people fleeing war and persecution. He ignores that question as well

A report on a Republican controlled congressional committee hearing into student protests

Rashida Tlaib 'my colleagues are outraged over these protests but they are silent over what the students are protesting about'. Also great to see the UAW placards at the latest UCLA protest

Al Aqsa hospital has almost run out of fuel because Israel is blocking aid from entering Gaza.

The medical director on what will happen when it runs out: 'All the patients will be condemned to death, especially those in the ICU, incubators & those relying on dialysis treatment'

'I think its becoming like American politics, you can have a choice between a right wing govt that reinforces the establishment & protects vested interests, or you can have a govt that does that but slightly less... I don't think that's much of a choice'

As an NEC member present in that meeting, to confirm as I did at the time to members, Keir Starmers motion to prevent Jeremy Corbyn returning as a Labour MP made 0 mention of antisemitism.

This kind of dishonesty undermines trust in our party and the fight against racism.

'I've felt very strongly that one thing that benefited me greatly was not having tuition fees... thats why we rightly committed at the last election to getting rid of [them]'

Today KS confirmed Labour won't scrap them. Why are you pulling up the ladder behind you, Keir?

Today Keir Starmer confirmed that because of the state of the economy, he won't be able to deliver his pledge to scrap tuition fees. So longer term, if & when the economy improves, he'll return to his pledge, right?

No.

Starmer has spent the last year telling us Diane Abbotts case was being investigated by an independent process &that would determine whether she can stand for Lab at the election

Today he admitted the NEC will decide whether she can be a Lab candidate. So he was lying all along!

Starmer 'The first thing I said as leader is I would tear antisemitism out by the roots.. that is why I took the decision Corbyn would not stand as a Lab candidate'

This is a lie

KS wrote the motion preventing JC from being a Lab candidate & it didn't mention antisemitism once

Starmer pitching NHS patients vs students & saying he can either cut NHS waiting lists or scrap tuition fees, but not both

You could raise Income Tax on the top 5% like you promised & do both. You could reverse Tory cuts to Corp Tax like you promised & do both. But you're not

Starmer says that because of the damage done to the economy he can't cut NHS waiting lists and scrap tuition fees, so he has to choose which to do. He's then asked, long term [when the economy improves], will he therefore return to his pledge to scrap tuition fees. He says no.

My RMT is committed to supporting Jeremy Corbyn as a candidate to represent the people of Islington North.

Jeremy is a founding member of RMT's Westminster parliamentary group of MPs in 2003 representing our members consistently for over 20 years. Let's get this done!

Starmer is asked if DIane Abbott will be allowed to run a a Lab candidate & he says the NEC will decide on that shortly.

erm, for the last year you've been telling us there's an 'independent process' that will decide the issue. Turns out you were lying all along. I'm shocked!

Keir Starmer is asked about Jeremy Corbyn standing as an independent in the constituency hes served since 1983

The interviewer mentions the fact that this might mean the Lib Dems win the seat. She doesn't admit the possibility that Corbyn might win, though!

Through the sneering, an admission that Jeremy Corbyn is enormously popular & well regarded in his constituency. (Clip from last week)

Israel drove over a million people from their homes, forcing them to take shelter in Rafah. Earlier this month they began their attack on the city, driving all those people out, despite the fact there is nowhere safe for them to go.

Rafah is now a ghost town.
