The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Labour sources in Coventry tell me they very much doubt Zarah Sultana is in the city she was elected to represent, despite Jeremy’s suggestion.
Mr Corbyn denied that the launch had been “messy”. Asked why it was him alone doing broadcast media to launch the party, and also asked where Ms Sultana was, he said: “We’re working absolutely together on this. “She happens to be, as far as I know at this moment, in Coventry."
The continuation of the war in Gaza disgraces Israel. Enough Our @TheEconomist leader economist.com/leaders/2025/0…
Almost a relief to come off the phone to someone who agrees. Despite the increasingly radicalised voices of the pro Israel and pro Palestine camps, the UK government’s stance on the region and its deadly conflict has fundamentally been the correct one.

🚨Israeli ultranationalist minister @Eliyahu_a: "All Gaza will be Jewish...the government is pushing for Gaza being wiped out. Thank god, we are wiping out this evil. We are pushing the population that has educated on Mein Kampf"
The Corbyn/Sultana party will turn out to be an unmitigated disaster - riddled by splits, sectarianism and weirdness. The only issue they will be able to unite around is a hatred for Israel. Wait and see.

I hear that the Knesset vote on “applying Israeli sovereignty“ over the Westbank is “only symbolic” and “declaratory”. Maybe. It doesn’t change the fact that annexation would be considered illegal under int‘l law and unacceptable by Germany and most of Israel’s closest friends.

'You can't even bring yourself to say that you like Zack Polanski?' @IainDale has to coax @AdrianRamsay into admitting he likes his Green Party colleague and leadership opponent.
I’m delighted that @BarnetCouncil have tonight approved nearly 3,400 homes for Edgware Town Centre, of which 35% will be genuinely affordable. This partnership between @placesforlondon @ballymore will also deliver new green and open space, transport upgrades, and employment.
