Much of the land in Sheffield city centre is owned by overseas bodies or big land-holding companies in the UK.

But a new project hopes to bring as much of it as possible back into common ownership – for all of us.

A short thread 🧵👇

This reminds me of Rishi Sunak making Lee Anderson party chair. It'll come back to bite Starmer on the arse.

Lots of people will complain about this, but Starmer's calculation is that those folks will moan but will all still unconditionally vote Labour in GE2024.

And you know what? He's right. They will.

Unless you withdraw your vote from Labour, Starmer won't care what you think.

If I was @MayorJD now I'd team up with the Greens and run for parliament in Newcastle Upon Tyne Central - then use that as a platform for having another shot at the mayoralty in 4 years time.

One simple first step for Labour decision makers to demonstrate they have listened to what so many people are telling them on Gaza, not just members of the Muslim community but from right across our society, is to demand an end to arms sales to Israel.

She speaks for so many Jews distraught that our traditions have been tainted, our pride in being Jewish replaced with shame at being associated with settler colonial atrocities against Palestinians, our 'safety' linked with ethnic cleansing. Hear her heartfeIt pleas!

These are real people. Razan and Nouran. And their father Ahmad. Is this what grief amounts to for Israel, killing little girls? Look hard, those of you who are behind this. You can be as sad as you want and not want to murder them.

🚨 NEW: Is Sheffield about to see the biggest transfer of wealth to the city’s richest in *decades*?

Let 2024 be the year we bring an end to all genocidal ethnostates

An eight-year-old British Palestinian boy with relatives in Gaza has been out of school for a month because staff won’t let him wear a Palestine flag patch on his coat.

Now parents are fighting back.

This is just brilliant from George Monbiot

An absolute annihilation of this pathetic government and it’s performative cruelty

The best magic trick ever

THREAD: Did Israel create Hamas, and did Netanyahu empower it to rule the Gaza Strip? Since the 7 October attacks in Israel, many critics of Israeli policy, and of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in particular,

Since it’s Friday, I thought I would treat you to… a short history of SLOP in England 🧵

I have been left with no choice but to speak out about the attempts of Labour Party Officials to silence and deselect me for my views on the horrors the Israeli Government is perpetrating in Gaza.

#CeasefireNOW !
