And the rest of the world can't trust the US. Things will never be the same again. We (outside of the US) can't shackle ourselves to such an unstable partner.

For Obama, the grassroots were useful for one thing: getting out the vote. The last thing he wanted was for millions of activated voters to turn into activists who'd flame him and harangue him and picket him if they didn't like his compromises. Boy, did Obama ever compromise.

The woman in the foreground is Joan Ryan. She was Chair of Labour friends of Israel. She negotiated the £1M from the expelled Israeli spy, Shai Masot. There's a video of it. She's now a full time Israel lobbyist. Starmer gave her a peerage.

Israel shoot children for throwing stones. In fact they shoot them regardless. Just for being Palestinian. It is Israel that needs disarming. A rogue nuclear state committing genocide. Asking the Palestinians to surrender their arms would be like demanding that the French Resistance surrender theirs

Here's Tom Watson with Regev. Watson was given a peerage by Starmer. He now works for Palantir. He received a £500,000 bung from Max Mosley, son of the leader of the British Fascist Party, Oswald Mosley.

LFI member Thornberry with Mark Regev. Now Netanyahu's advisor, when he was Israeli ambassador to the UK he ran a unit that bribed MPs. One of his staff, Shai Masot, was expelled after an Al Jazera sting caught him bragging that he could bring down cabinet ministers.

94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen OBE, arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @labouruk.bsky.social conference. Her crime? Holding a piece of cardboard with the words “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on it. She was among hundreds doing the same.

I once lived on a Tudor house that had pine trunks at the centre of a pair of spiral staircases. There was another older building nearby with the same arrangement. It was probably meant as a mast from the local shipyard, but probably new, not reused.

A colleague kept pigs. He had a picture of one as his desktop. I asked him about it. He said "we ate her sister & now we're eating her children". Then he gave me some sausages.

Welcome I suppose, but look: the time to recognise that most of these people work for gambling outfits, privatised utilities and tech companies, and that they protect those interests in exchange for sweet private sector jobs further down the line, was fifteen or ten years ago. It is too late now.

"Lord Walney" is John Woodcock. Ex Chair of Labour Friends of Israel, given a peerage by the Tory PM Boris Johnson (a very unusual occurrence) for services to undermining democracy. He's a paid lobbyist for the arms industry. An agent of Israel who should be in prison.

Last June, Andy Burnham was on a platform with Del Naja in support of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, praising his ‘clarity and leadership’. Today, he’s having Rob arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a piece of paper.

In the 2019 general election a small group of us did banner drops saying "Save the NHS. Vote Labour". We were then threatened with legal action by the thugs at Plymouth Labour. It is what made me finally decide to leave the party. I wouldn't vote for them again under any circumstances.

In Yorkshire they still call children "young'uns" which is pretty much Jungens. Just as further North they say "bairns" which is like the Norwegian "barns".

Around 40% of the world's dirty money, proceeds of corruption and crime, is laundered through the UK, its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories. Successive govts promise new laws and enforcement but they make little impact. Why do govts continue to fail? Watch the Minister's reply.

Large part of the UK press has been on the wrong side of history, fuelling hatred, social divisions, supporting authoritarianism. Their support for the current Blackshirts has a history (see below) as they continue to support the far-right stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8672...

Both are public subsidies without addressing the underlying problem : excessive profits in privately owned energy & bus companies. Pollard's "solution" is just another way of transferring public money into private pockets.
