Netanyahu knew of Hamas's terror attacks on October 7 and DELIBERATELY IGNORED it & allowed his own people to die for war and power... Tell me why it's acceptable for any elected officials, Democrats or Republicans, not to condemn Israel's genocide and continue taking money from AIPAC? I'll wait.

The UK Chief Rabbi is wrong. It is not Ed Miliband endangering Jews but Netanyahu's govt and settler fascists giving antisemitic extremists all the content they need to radicalise people against Israel and Jews everywhere. We Jews must fight this poisonous ideology hijacking our state & religion.

Roger Gall "Israel has killed at least 4 times the number of civilians and 25 times the number of children as Russia, as Britain continues full sanctions on Russia while refusing any meaningful sanctions on Israel." Please RT this until Burnham's Labour Govt stops talking & acts. Thanks

One day, people in power will be asked what they did during the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians… And they’ll be able to say …we kept sending Israel arms, trading with them and issued a joint statement.

When you think you might lose Makerfield and everything depends on that crucial last throw of the dice.

This needs sharing Reform is a ProRussia party- Thos mentality can’t get into the UK main politics

The rich, non-domiciled, fascistic elite want to turn Great Britain into the most unregulated, corrupt country in the world. Brexit was their first step.

“Wah wah wah!” screech Reform. Spitting blame and resentment. Come on voters… don’t judge them on how they are when things are going their way. Judge them on how they cope with adversity. They have a wild and monstrous tantrum. Now, imagine that running the country. Unthinkable.

The Greens now have 5 MPs, all elected as Greens. The Refukkers have 8 MPs, but only 4 of them were elected for Farage's party, the other 4 being Tory opportunists. And only 3 of their 2024 General Election cohort survive. Perhaps we have reached peak-Reform?

The Reform spin doctors are working overtime to push 'family' and 'sectarian' voting copium, because despite having the media and millionaires on their side, they still couldn't win in Gorton and Denton This is the same, re-hashed Islamophobic nonsense we've seen peddled by Farage and co many times

"Hannah Spencer Goes To Westminster" ... There's something very Frank Capra about the Green win in Gorton & Denton. As Hannah points out in this excerpt from her excellent speech, it was a triumph of hope over hate, community over division and the working class over billionaire backers. [SOUND ON 🔊]

40.7% is a fantastic result for the Greens and Hannah Spencer. She ran a fantastic campaign and was a breath of fresh air. A result of over 40% shows that polling deeply underestimated the frustration people feel with Starmer and their general disgust at Reform. The two party system is over for good

Joyful to see Goodwin and Farage having a huge wettie and rightwing media scrabbling around for credibility in the rubble of their cocky predictions and polling. You don’t have this in the bag.We voted for change in 2024. That never meant hate-fuelled populism. It meant hope. You don’t give us that.

Kruger: 'If We Don’t Win, Or If We Win And Make A Mess Of It, I Fear For Our Country' I fear for our country that there’s even the slightest chance of these racist, MAGA-misogynists winning power. I mean FFS. They’re lunatics. And this is truly dystopian. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
