The same Labour Party ghouls who sabotaged their own party's chances in the 2019 GE rather than have a progressive PM (& gave the Tories 5 more years to damage the country) would now prefer to form a coalition with the Tories - or allow a RefUK/Tory coalition - than admit that Zionism is racism.

Burning wood is not renewable when trees are harvested faster than they regrow or forests are cleared, because this depletes resources, damages habitats, and releases carbon faster than new growth can absorb it..

Same - hope he gets in despite lots of media bs slagging him off on the zionist vote being against human rights - coupled with Facebook blocking his account - but as well as all this it’s ok for reform to be openly racist.. The devil is in the details that’s for sure…

The most telling thing about the backlash against the Greens’ “Zionism is racism” motion is the refusal of the media to platform Palestinians. We’ve had wall-to-wall coverage of the feelings of Zionists, but we’ve heard almost nothing from their victims… www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-media-...
