There’s an ideology behind keeping water privatised - and we’re not falling for it.
1) Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme, wife of late Republican Senator John McCain, refutes claims Hamas is stealing aid. 2) A consensus of genocide scholars concludes that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, including Israeli scholars
Owen, calling Israel a genocidal state while ignoring Hamas’s role in starving its own people is the definition of disingenuous. You must know this, which is why you go for the ad-hominem (something I avoid). Israel is not committing genocide. It is at war with a terrorist group…
Being this stupid won’t be a legitimate defense at The Hague
Starmer's imposed "values" are so far from Corbyn's that he would be constantly stamped on and suppressed, better to start and lead his own Party! Why don't you join him and feel valued again?
Even he must realise that he's being totally and utterly pathetic and if this is a last ditch attempt to prevernt JC from launching a new coalition of the left it will fail. At least I hope it will fail.
'Whatever they think about him, Jeremy is an asset to the party.' Labour's @johnmcdonnellMP calls for a 'rapprochement' with @jeremycorbyn.
In Kyiv, Ukrainian protests continue against the government of Volodymyr Zelensky Defying an imposed curfew, the demonstrations persist against the passing of a new bill that hands over corruption oversight bodies to the Prosecutor General.
In Belgium, Israeli soldiers were arrested for war crimes in a milestone legal action by lawyers. Meanwhile, in the UK, we welcome Israeli soldiers back from #Gaza & allow them to work with the public & vulnerable students. Like Zechariah Deutsch at @UniversityLeeds. Shocking!
There is no going back after this for @AngelaRayner
My point exactly. Israeli pilots train in Izmir too. Talk about double standard. It’s like American politicians who send thoughts and prayers after every mass shoot but never do a thing to stop mass shooting.
Twenty years ago the Met executed a Brazilian electricial on his way to work. Cressida Dick gave the order. I wrote this book in response: Rough Music: Blair, Bombs, Baghdad, London, Terror Verso Books versobooks.com › en-gb › products › 196... Rough Music is Tariq…
This is Labour MP Maria Eagle saying the quiet part out loud. Telling everyone that the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 has been operating “reconnaissance missions” for Israel’s IDF.
Opposition to Erdogan on Gaza in Turkish parlisament.
A Turkish parliamentarian to Erdogan’s MPs: The pilots bombing Gaza and Palestine trained in Konya. Israeli jet fuel is sent from Iskenderun. Israeli soldiers’ food is sent from Alanya. And their water comes from Manavgat. You send drones to Ukraine and Azerbaijan but settle for…
WOW! In December 2024, @Keir_Starmer gave a private speech to Labour Friends of Israel. Ignoring the 45k+ Palestinians already killed and 1,900,000 displaced, he said there must be no ceasefire until all Israeli hostages had been released - adding they were his "No. 1" priority.
It was disgusting to witness the barrage of vile insults and threats that Marta has been subjected to over the last years. But even more so was the silence about this, if not open approval, by many of her “colleagues.” That is why we wrote this letter. newglobalpolitics.org/an-open-letter/
Starmer kicked out of pub. Where is this amazing pub. It should be visted by those who oppose genocide.
This man is a legend, he kicked the Zionist Keir Starmer UK PM out of his pub.
Many of us are appalled and sickened by Lammy.
BREAKING: David Lammy says he is appalled and sickened by what Israel doing in Gaza with the weapons and intel he is giving them. If only he could do something about this...
