Today's Times editorial distinguishes between Labour Together's legitimate "pugilism" aimed at "expunging" the Corbyn left, versus its illegitimate "dirty tricks" targeting Sunday Times journalists. Two glaring problems with this, and two observations:

🚨 GE2029 nowcast | Gorton & Denton: 🔴 Lab: 27% (-24) 🟢 Grn: 27% (+14) ➡️ Ref: 26% (+12) ⚙️ Wrk: 10% (-1)* *Not running in 2025 by-election

I owe a lot to Democracy Now!. When I was a teenager finding my way on the left in the early 2000s, it was one of the only places you could go that wasn't swimming in jingoism and deference to the Bush administration. Here's to the next 30 years.

This is actually sickening. Blair blames Gaza’s elected government for the crippling effects of the Israeli siege, then presents imposed neocolonial rule as some kind of glorious liberation for its people. Hope he comes to a bad end, and soon.

Is this you?

Yvette Cooper says its appalling that Iran has retaliated to being attacked and she calls on them to stop retaliating. Yes, really.

Report from Israeli paper Haaretz on 31 October 2023, three weeks into the genocide RAF Akrotiri continued to be the key international site for supplying and supporting Israel's obliteration of Gaza over the following 2 years

This is Ferdowsi Sq central Tehran. People on the ground say the bombing campaign is beyond anything they have seen and seemingly indiscriminate. Increasingly, Israel and the US appear to be following the Gaza playbook, having failed to achieve a quick regime implosion.

Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke smears Mothin Ali & Keir Starmer joins in - "We're all shocked by the actions of the deputy leader of the Green Party.. it is important all of us set our face against antisemitism" A reminder that these smears are only to get more intense and hysterical

Britain is a direct participant in the genocide of the Palestinian people, and the illegal and unprovoked war on the Iranian people. These facts are being hidden from the general public by an unholy alliance of the British state and MSM, working hand in glove to protect Israel.

Since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza (the latest, bloody stage in the 70-year genocide of the Palestinian people) British military forces have been indispensable to Israel's efforts, but this has all been suppressed with the willing participation of our corrupt media.

Average Brit has no idea Britain has been utterly crucial in enabling Israel to flatten the Gaza strip, and they are clueless as to Britain's true involvement in the imperialist war against Iran. The truth is British society, from top to bottom, is soaked in Palestinian blood.

Many congratulations to Owen Jones and a massive moment for those who support freedom of the press.

I write in Financial Times that Iran is playing the long game. In war, geography matters as much as technology. Iran commands the entire northern shore of the Gulf, looming large over energy fields on its southern shore and all that passes through its waters. Its Houthi allies are perched at

Incredible scenes

There are no legitimate defensive operations for which you need a B-1 bomber. British bases are staging grounds for this illegal U.S. war on Iran. The "defensive operations" line is a thin political ploy to provide a flimsy legal cover for Britain's complicity in an illegal war.

It’s important that America eats shit here, for the good of the species. Nobody should be helping them with this brazen criminal enterprise, and certainly not us.

What did I say? I said: when Sir Keir has outlived his usefulness, you will not be able to miss it.

After weeks of relentless attacks - this is bloody lovely! Labour - please do feel free to keep making attack videos! Join.greenparty.org.uk

NEW: The BBC has broken the law by failing to give a “substantive response” to a FOI request asking if and when calls on BBC-issued mobile phones took place between its top brass and the Israeli embassy at the height of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
