What is happening to the Barton House residents in Bristol is absolutely shocking… another reason to vote green in all upcoming elections. Labour has failed Bristol on every level

Heartbreaking vigil in Bristol this afternoon naming the dead in Gaza. All of these are children under 17 - pages and pages and pages of names. These banners will be displayed outside the Elbit arms factory in Filton next week #FreePalestine

Galloway is like a kind of vengeful folk devil of british politics, a malevolent figure who appears when the moral vacuum is so great that he can rise again to tenuously try to claim the high ground

Do you see the overtime work they do to clean up genocidal crimes? A massacre of the starving becomes a 'die in chaos' mystery. Only Palestinians are prone to these spontaneous mass deaths 'in chaos' with no named perpetrator or context. Beyond complicity.

Galloway is as grim & awful as they get, nothing to celebrate. But a pasting for Labour--& their treatment of Muslims-- is long overdue. It does show us that an alternative to them is needed--and can win votes. A better alternative that Galloway. Can be done.

My cousin got her first period while forcibly displaced in a tent in southern Gaza. Her mother spent two days looking for sanitary pads & painkillers amid israel’s genocide & blockade of aid supplies. For International Women’s Day, call out feminists who are silent on Palestine.

On IWD 7 years ago, Linda Sarsour explained what makes BDS a feminist tactic; and Mayim Bialik hit back, declaring herself a feminist Zionist and adding that she "could not tolerate being accused of being 'the enemy' like this." Me, on an enemy feminism: salvage.zone/some-of-my-bes…

If Parliament had listened to Diane Abbott: We wouldn't have invaded Iraq. Black Britons wouldn't have been deported in the Windrush Scandal. Our country wouldn't have been decimated by austerity. Diane's voice should not be ignored —her ongoing mistreatment is a disgrace.

Giving this a bump. The other, underreported element of the speech is that if it is a break with neoliberalism, it is *also* a break with social democracy. To put in somewhat Marxist terms, social democracy since 1945 focused on “social reproduction”: healthcare, education… 1/n

Academic colleagues who work in areas concerned with research methodologies have a duty to speak up here. The Cass Review's methods are horrendously flawed. Yet it is being passed off as an 'independent report' that should be taken seriously. Integrity matters.

Shani Louk’s father on #R4today saying there’s ‘no way’ Israel can accept having ‘neighbours like Palestine’, that killing all of Hamas is insufficient because their children will carry on the struggle, and a ‘solution’ must be found by ‘thinking outside of the box’ - chilling

🚨 NEW: I'm launching a fundraiser to poll Islington North (Jeremy Corbyn's seat), so we can get some clear data on the contest. But polling is expensive, so I need YOU 🫵 We need to raise £7,000 by 17 June to make it happen. LINK: gofundme.com/f/IslingtonPoll

🧵 I don’t think many of the media or people on platforms like this understand quite what Keir Starmer has done. Parliamentary democracy is designed to have a number of safeguards to stop party leaders behaving as despots: one of those is limits of the use of the whip. (1/9)

Can you imagine losing your child in some of the most horrifying circumstances imaginable, and on top of that, having to call for calm in your own community? I just can't get my head around what these parents must be experiencing.

The way Zarah Sultana was treated by Good Morning Britain's hosts and panellists this morning was nothing short of appalling. Ask tough questions – she's used to it! – but the sneering and constant interrupting when she was trying to talk about the realities of racism and
