Unless Mr Burnham uses his majority to push through PR, we could have a three-way far-right coalition in power in 2029.

Labour have been refusing to work with Greens for years. In Barnet, they opted to team up with Tories, in Cambridge with Lib Dems.

Dear Angela Rayner Anti-Zionism is NOT Antisemitism …”To imply that an attack on Zionism is an attack on Jews is to argue Zionism & Jews are one and the same. Zionism (a 130-year-old ideology) is not Judaism (a 3,500-year-old religion)” open.substack.com/pub/councile...

The media refuses to ask Palestinians if Zionism is racism. Apparently, only Zionist feelings count.
The most telling thing about the backlash against the Greens’ “Zionism is racism” motion is the refusal of the media to platform Palestinians.

The Green "Zionism is racism" motion is far too divisive. There are many ways to do land theft and mass murder. I personally support the form where you use polite language and pretend the ultimate goal of genocide is a two-state solution 👍

Neat equivocation from Freedland there, implying it's a ban on religion. It's ban on racism. If a religious group choise to be racist they will fall foul of a ban on racism, not their religion. He does it because it works. People fall for the lie. #Jobbie journalism.

This is a such ridiculous thing for Freedland to say! Such self-importance, and such self-victimisation, as to be off the scale. I'm a GPEW member and we're not "telling Jews what to think" - they're not *that* special. But we are telling *everyone* what WE think.

There is a concerted attempt to reframe the Thatcher years as some kind of idyll rather than the destructive divisive get rich quick for some and to hell with the rest and beggar the consequences era those of us who lived through it remember. The present state of this country is largely her doing.
