I've BEEN saying that man will turn UK into Rikers Island. His only consistent politic has been love of police and prisons 🤷🏾‍♂️

‘It’s one thing to enact violence when you are raised on lies and fear in a racially segregated state and conscripted into its murderous machinery. It’s another to look on from the outside and do nothing.’ Arianne Shahvisi 🇵🇸 on moral luck, from the blog: lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/july…

This July 4th, we contemplate parallels between the colonization of Turtle Island (“North America”) and Palestine. Supporting Palestinians’ right to return and right to self-determination in their homeland goes hand in hand with supporting Indigenous people’s demand for

The events of the last nine months have made it crystal clear what the NYT means by the term "antisemitism" here—Corbyn's persistent belief that Palestinians are fully human, which Starmer has indeed "rooted out", with the same subtlety as the cops deployed at Columbia and UCLA.

Labour projected to win landslide with a smaller share of the vote than Labour lost with in 2017. A sandcastle majority: a change in the tide and it goes.

These early results are clear: unless Labour commit to actual structural transformation, we will have fascism.

Labour wasted masses of resources fighting the greens in Brighton and Bristol when they could have been resisting the rise of fascist Reform. When people tell you who they are, believe them.

There have been 4 pro-Gaza Independent candidates elected so far. The same number as Reform MPs. That's big and totally unexpected. It deserves coverage and analysis.

"Stabbing kills man" would be a preposterous headline. So too, this.

The Lancet estimates that the direct and indirect death toll of the Gaza genocide could be as high as 186,000 people

France’s extraordinary election results provide an urgent, valuable lesson. Don’t concede ground to those who sow division and fear. Build a bold Left movement that offers an alternative of inclusion and hope. That is how you defeat the far right.

Fully appropriate for the organisation that handed Nigel Farage a seat in Parliament. Beyond disgraceful.

A new moral low Israeli weapons packed with shrapnel causing devastating injuries to children in Gaza, doctors say Surgeons who worked in European and al-Aqsa hospitals describe extensive wounds caused by ‘fragmentation’ shrapnel theguardian.com/world/article/…

This is absolutely true. The technical term is white supremacy.

Israel killed 320 Palestinian civilians in the last 48 hours.

Today I am tabling an amendment to the King's Speech, calling on our new government to suspend arms sales to Israel and end the UK government's complicity in war crimes. Me for the The Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Both of the actions you see in these photos potentially amount to the offence of ‘public nuisance’. One is punishable with “long, long prison sentences” & the other is rewarded with huge bonuses & billions in profits. Why the disparity? What does this mean for the rule of law?

It's hard to think of any greater direct threat to international peace and security under the UN Security Council mandate than a state actually declaring UN institutions terrorists and thus killable targets. Absolute shambles.

The community of Hartlepool have now raised over £7,000 in less than 24 hours to support a local mosque. 'Nasir Mosque has cooked and served out almost 30,000 meals to foodbanks and charities of Hartlepool in recent years, amongst countless other altruistic acts!'

Aser and Aysal, twins born four days ago, were killed this morning in an Israeli airstrike, along with their mother Dr. Jumana, east of Deir al-Balah. The father was out of the house preparing their birth certificates, he returned home to find that his family is no longer there.
