Until Labour find a non-Zionist socialist to run the party, I'm not interested. My future is in an independent Scotland. But, on a personal note, when he eventually faces the consequences of his despicable actions, I will dance, with a red flag in one hand and a Palestine flag in the other.

Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.
UK green party leader is an "extremist" say Israel's deputy FM

They wore lapel pins of golden nooses to pass their murderous ethnosupremacist law then toasted it with champagne. The depraved state of Israel shames humanity.

I am no fan of Marina Corina Machado. Zionism is totally at odds with what the prize purports to represent, but it often goes to people who don't deserve it, and that it didn't go to the orange man baby is a cause of great satisfaction. .

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon. 1 of 2

Text: EMERGENCY
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla. Unarmed people of conscience, abducted in international waters. This is piracy. This is kidnapping.
 
The flotilla did not break any laws. What is unlawufl is genocide, the deadly blockade of Gaza, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, and the piracy of civilians vessels and abduction of all those on board.Background image - evening, boat in ocean flying Palestinian flag with FFC amd TM logos.
Text: We will never stop challenging Israel's illegal blockade - a siege weaponized to starve, silence, and imprison Palestinians. 
Stand with us to break the siege and hold governments and institutions accountable for enabling Israel's crimes.

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

Earlier this month, the government blocked an inquiry into its complicity in the Gaza genocide. We don’t need their permission to uncover the truth. That’s why, today, we are announcing The Gaza Tribunal. Sign up at thegazatribunal.uk.

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

Starmer has chosen his friends. He is firmly on the side of Israel despite his mealy mouthed mutterings on starvation. He’s not affected by deaths of tens of thousand innocents. He is not fit to hold public office. As for his cabinet of fawning No marks…shame on them

Scotland, can we saddle up the horses and ride the fuck out of this union, please? I really don't think it's advisable to stick around much longer. There's a placed called Independence waiting for us to build a new country that isn't rotting under the weight of its failure, cruelty and self-loathing

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Labour losing one of its safest seats shows what happens when a government cuts disability benefits and winter fuel payments, keeps the two-child benefit cap, and panders to anti-migrant rhetoric: Reform wins and always will. This isn’t the change people voted for and it shows.
