I asked Jeremy Corbyn if he felt vindicated after being relentlessly smeared for his pro-Palestine advocacy: "I have a house. I live a normal life. Somebody my age in Gaza doesn't even have water. It's about others, and it's our duty to use that privilege to support them."

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 Westminster journalists describe the launch of Jeremy Corbyn’s new party as “chaotic” and “a shambles” in drafts written the day before the launch.

At an event with Jezza tonight - he was very clear that they want to work collaboratively with the Greens.

In the last hour the new party of the left reached 240,000 members taking all of one day to surpass Reform which has been flogging its bigotry for seven years now.

I hope the new party does well, Zack wins, Starmer is replaced by a soft left leader and the Lib Dems' progressive wing asserts itself. Cos honestly, an effective popular front against a Reform / Tory / Murdoch bloc will require ALL of those conditions to be met.

Great to see this from Zack Polanski 👏 United, we stand; divided, we fall.

Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis – it is a moral crisis that challenges the global conscience. We will continue to speak out. But words don’t feed hungry children. The United Nations stands ready to make the most of a ceasefire to dramatically scale up humanitarian operations.

The “appalling scenes in Gaza” have been enabled by the arms, surveillance & diplomatic cover Keir Starmer’s Labour government have provided to a genocidal apartheid state. He still refuses to call it a genocide because he is complicit in it. Keir Starmer belongs in The Hague.

This should radicalise 99% of us

Really excellent work by The Autonomy Institute here, bringing additional empirical weight to bear on the idea of “climateflation”. Economic questions are increasingly going to resemble questions about managing climate change. (Links below.)

Starmer just sits there like a mug, managing a desperate little chortle as Trump hurls insults at London’s Mayor. Just tragic.

Does any other country have a system like this? You get completely rejected by the electorate, but the government just go "no, you're all wrong" and give them an unelected job for life instead.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the proscription of Palestine Action as “disproportionate and unnecessary”, warning it risks creating “a further chilling effect” on protest and dissent. A full judicial review has now been granted and if successful, the ban

Aid falling on a shelter in Gaza 🇵🇸 killing 3 young children. For the love of god let the UN aid trucks in now: Expel Israel 🇮🇱 from the UN Ban all 🇬🇧 arms sales to Israel 🇮🇱 Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 today before it’s too late.

The Israeli Centre for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, B'TSELEM, agonised long (too long in my view) and hard before coming up with this report and its crystal clear verdict: Israel is committing genocide. Nothing more needs to be said
