🇵🇸 Le nombre de drapeaux palestiniens sur les bords de la Vuelta (Tour d'Espagne) est hallucinant. Il y en a absolument partout. Le public espagnol a décidé de montrer très clairement qu'il n'accepte ni le génocide en cours à Gaza, ni la présence de l'équipe Israel Premier Tech !

We have reached a level of dishonest stupidity in public discourse that I don't think there is any way back from.

Congratulations to the newly elected Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, Rachel Millward

"A boycott is in place until further notice." Utrecht University becomes first Western academic institution to announce an academic *boycott* of Israel, shattering a taboo. This is the result of strategic, principled work by students & university staff. loom.ly/8324gMs

🧵At every dawn in #Gaza City, families wake to deafening, earth-shaking blasts, relentless explosions unlike any weapon heard before. Israel’s army is using explosive-laden robots, a new weapon designed to wipe out entire neighbourhoods in an instant A thread ⤵️

“This is not about our behaviour, this is about our existence,” says H.E. Dr Husam Zomlot during an event at Chatham House today. Israel is after each and every Palestinian, be they in #Gaza, the West Bank or East Jerusalem, he goes on to say.

Ed Balls: the Greens taking votes from Labour helps the Tories Zack Polanski: "I want to see every Labour politician whose voted for a two child benefit cap, for disability cuts, for the ongoing genocide in Gaza to sell arms to them, I want to see them replaced" #GMB

Zack is correct here. Come along to Bristol on 12/13 Sep and hear him and others talk about why this matters so much to end the cult of austerity and death grip of “markets” in the UK (link in my pinned tweet) Resources are the challenge, not finding the money to pay for them.

The left has four years to stop Nigel Farage from becoming prime minister. Polanski’s Green leadership win is the starting gun on a race we must win, writes James Meadway. novaramedia.com/2025/09/03/zac…

The entitlement of this question. Labour aren't entitled to anyone's vote. They've let people down - and we'll be replacing them up and down the country.

Kiko García, technical director of La Vuelta cycling race, is clear on what the solution could be to avoid interruptions like today’s in Bilbao. “For me, there’s only one: that the Israel team itself realises that by being here, they do not contribute to the safety of others.”

I’ve written for LRB on the closure of Scotland’s last oil refinery at Grangemouth by Petroineos and the unjust transition in British manufacturing. A committed workforce was betrayed by multinational employers as governments failed to meet their promises. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…

Beyond disgusted that Israeli President Herzog is set to visit London next week to meet Labour ministers. The Labour Party is living up to its reputation as The Genocide Party. Herzog should be arrested for war crimes the moment he sets foot on UK soil.

The 18 year olds who Nick Clegg told he would scrap their tuition fees are 33 now and have £50,000 student debt to pay off, but the interest on the debt grows faster than their wages pay it off.

Just now in #Gaza City: the last remains of a residential building were crushed on top of a defenceless population. Israel’s barbarity defies words — and the world’s inaction is nothing less than complicity.

An Observation on Angela Rayner and the Labour Government: One cannot help but feel a measure of sympathy for Angela Rayner. I know her well enough to say that she came into politics for the best of reasons: a desire to serve, a determination to improve the lives of people whose

Eight hours after the protest began and hundreds remain in Parliament Square to oppose the proscription of Palestine Action. This will go down as one of the biggest mass acts of civil disobedience in British history. Join the mass defiance of the ban: wedonotcomply.org

Breaking news; Here is the security camera footage from the Family vessel of the Sumud Flotilla, stationing just outside Tunis port. So: 1. Sound of something that the crew identified as a drone. 2. Crews sounds the alarm and calls for help. 3. Explosion. Draw your conclusions.

Footage from another boat of our Flotilla shows the exact moment the Family Boat was struck from above.

it's just a shame Robert Peston, like virtually all of his colleagues in our great media landscape, wasn't aware of Mandelson's public, long-term and well-known connections to Epstein when Mandelson was announced as Ambassador last year. This must be a big shock
