This billboard is a statement of fact! I say this as an arms trade expert & as a Jew. To suggest this is an attack on Jews feeds the trope that Israel represents all Jews. Millions of Jews around the world, including many in Israel, are utterly opposed to & deeply horrified by

Jеws join a Palestine demonstration in front of pro-Isrаеl prоtesters

After nearly 30 years in Parliament I have a dictum that the heavier the whipping in Parliament the bigger risk of mistakes being made & the greater the later regret, eg the votes on the 75p pension increase, tuition fees, Iraq war & Labour abstention on 2 child limit in 2015.

The way Israel is destroying Palestinian food sovereignty will be studied not only as a shocking example of genocidal conduct, but also as a textbook case of sadistic disrespect for human life & dignity. Among the many UN Independent Experts who have denounced the genocide in

CEASEFIRE & HOSTAGE DEAL NOW! Last night we joined hundreds of thousands of people in Israel to demonstrate for an end to the war and a hostage deal. We brought a massive banner that says: “Get out of Gaza! So that everyone can return home.”

Kharkiv today, on Sunday. It happens everyday and not only in Kharkiv.

Our USC trade union officer is of partly Bangladeshi heritage. The following comes from him. Some on the left call Ukraine's war of national defence a "proxy war". If that's true, what about other national liberation struggles in the 20th century? What about Bangladesh 1971? 🧵

I wanted to tell you about a Ukrainian historian Leonid Marushchak who rescued about 2 million works of art from frontline museums. This is the kind of work that often goes unnoticed. But this is true heroism of its own kind. This story deserves to be known. During the war,

“When you’ve been invaded, you’re allowed to strike back. International law permits that, and common sense pretty much demands it” Timothy Snyder discusses how Ukraine can defeat russia and why it should be allowed to strike back. Do you agree with our ambassador?

On CNN, Jerry Heil: “It’s very important topic that isn’t discussed enough.” Russia kidnapped over 30,000 Ukrainian children, and still not returned them home. Only 388 have returned home. Please don’t ignore this. #AllEyesOnKids

What Israel has just done is, via *any* method, reckless. They blew up countless numbers of people who were driving (meaning cars out of control), shopping (your children are in the stroller standing behind him in the checkout line), et cetera. Indistinguishable from terrorism.

This is an historic test for the international community, including the UK. It is an inflection point for the global-rules based order. Are we serious about international law? Are we serious about peace in Palestine, the Middle East and beyond? If we are, this resolution must be

Rather than have these unseemly disputes over which Labour minister can use these grace & favour mansions, let’s set a socialist example & use them to give respite breaks to unpaid carers or to some of the pensioners at risk of freezing this winter. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
