On this day in 1953, a CIA-MI6–orchestrated coup overthrew Iran's first elected leader, PM Mohammad Mossadegh, in response to his decision to nationalize the country's highly lucrative oil industry. jacobin.com/2023/08/cia-mi…

Meanwhile as their media mates swarm around us and their police publicly open a meaningless investigation after Glastonbury on us (only to drop it silently)... They are complicit in war crimes.

🚨 BREAKING: Famine officially confirmed in Gaza. For the first time in history, UN agencies declare famine in the Middle East. Half a million people are already trapped in starvation. 🧵

Today is a day of national and international shame. This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving. How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?

No. England belongs to the Normans who conquered us a thousand years ago and whose descendants still own most of the country and still take nearly all of our wealth. If you want to take the country back start with these French/German aristocrats who own us!

"Half of the welfare budget that is spent in Britain is spent on in work benefits. That is a direct subsidy for low wages so the corporations who've been screwing this country for years can get higher profits" Eddie Dempsey at Durham last month

In my area of research, femicide, there was a common theme threatening the safety of girls and women in Epping and nearby areas. It wasn't "illegal migrants", whatever that's supposed to mean, or immigrants of any description. I'll go through murders of women and girls. /1

Look at these sad people. This is what you have done Elon Musk .. right wing social media is destroying humans faster than declining birth rates

A decisive victory - 87%! The Greens are an eco-populist party - and, with the new left party not founded, makes them the leading force on the English left . Zack should seize the initiative: get out across the country like Farage does. Hold meetings and rallies everywhere.

"Collaboration and co-operation are in our DNA as a party." 😍 Great to hear Zack Polanski talk about his willingness to work with Jeremy Corbyn & Your Party to take on Reform & this failing Labour Government.

They appropriate our collective surplus - the surplus *we* produce - and invest it in doing whatever is most profitable to them, regardless of human needs and ecology. Fact: If we do not have democratic control over our surplus, we do not live in a democracy. Simple as that.

This can’t be allowed to happen, we can’t award a £2 billion contract to an Israeli arms company in the middle of this genocide, mass starvation and ethnic cleansing. Not just morally, but legally. We’re obliged to do what we can to prevent Genocide when we see it happening - not

Israel has bombed Doha. The end game is no country in the region, from Iran to Turkey, Saudi to Qatar, able to pursue its own foreign policy decisions. Larger states, ultimately, should be balkanised. Permanent war for hundreds of millions. The U.S. & UK support all of it.

This is becoming a Trump signature move - the same modus operandi he used with Iran, now deployed against Hamas: pretending he wanted to engage in diplomacy as a trap to facilitate bombing them. Which reinforces the precedent: engaging in diplomacy with the US is now worse than

This Herzog meeting was obscene in any case. After Qatar Sir Keir Starmer must cancel, send Herzog packing - and condemn the outrageous Israeli attack. middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-p…

The Prime Minister needs to clarify what legal advice has been received about the visit by Israel's President Isaac Herzog to the UK, and whether his entry is compatible with our obligations under the Genocide Convention.

On July 14, 2025, Trump called MAGA influencers —including Charlie Kirk — telling them to back off Epstein coverage. That same day, Kirk said he was “done talking about Epstein.” The very next day, July 15, Charlie flipped, demanding the files be released and covering Epstein

Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to middle school together and grew up on the same Eastern District council estate in Northampton. I asked him why he was there. He gave me two answers:

I was on the antiracist demonstration against Far Right Tommy Robinson from start to finish – including the police kettle on Whitehall. Some thoughts: 1. There were not millions on the TR demo. He is, and always has been, a pocket-sized Pinocchio. 2. The turnout was higher than

Intriguing how the same billionaires funding “anti-woke” crusades ie Thiel, Musk etcare also pushing the infrastructure for a surveillance state? Digital ID isnt “freedom tech.” It’s another power grab by an increasingly intertwined state & the billionaires/corpoates building it
