This isn’t the script of politics in recent years, which is supposed to reflect an ideological conflict between populism and liberalism. But here you have European liberalism voluntarily abasing itself before Trump. The nonsense of European independence is trashed 2/
Israeli propaganda used to justify genocide. Media parrots them without question. Truth comes too late. No accountability. This is modern warfare
Beheaded babies, Hamas mass rapes, Hamas HQ under Al-Shifa Hospital, Hamas blocks a ceasefire, Hamas steals aid: Israeli propaganda to wage genocide. These lies are always parroted by Israel apologists and media stenographers, and are always admitted to be fake long after…
NEW: Am told over the weekend that Sarah Champion’s letter calling on the PM to recognise a Palestinian state has now been signed by 254 MPs.
221 MPs, from 9 parties, have sent a joint letter to the Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary urging them to recognise Palestine as a state now
What lies behind the US-EU trade deal is not “bad negotiation” on the European side as such. It is the jointly agreed arrangement of longterm and fixed American hegemonic control of the Western hemisphere as the world system transitions from unipolarity to multipolarity.

While not disagreeing with the critique of parliamentarism and the need for extra-parliamentary organisation, the fact remains that in order to maintain support long-term there needs to be tangible benefits for those who are affected by rising bills and rents
BREAKING: Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir says PM Benjamin Netanyahu is “morally bankrupt” for ALLOWING aid into Gaza and demands the complete starvation of Palestinians. This is not a redeemable society.
My approach, post first, read later. Now read it ~ pretty much my position : counterfire.org/article/party-… " .. the new party needs to reject Labourism in general and in detail. The very last thing the left needs is another 1900 moment, the year the Labour Party was formed."
Good context from the European experience of parties to the left of social democracy. I think a radical left party in Britain would have to call for a left government, and a constituent assembly to form a new republic, as a means of squaring the electoralist/movementist circle.

This needs to be weekly from our homes. Across the world. Here we began. This was outside Downing Street as we were gathering.

Happening now outside Downing Street! #StopStarvingGaza #StopArmingIsrael
Pots and pans being symbolically laid at the gates of Downing Street demanding the UK ends its complicity in genocide and #StopStarvingGaza @jeremycorbyn @khalidabdalla
Incredible show of solidarity for those being deliberately starved and incredible anger at Starmer and Lammy and the rest of the genocide enablers
