BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 Westminster journalists describe the launch of Jeremy Corbyn’s new party as “chaotic” and “a shambles” in drafts written the day before the launch.
Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis – it is a moral crisis that challenges the global conscience. We will continue to speak out. But words don’t feed hungry children. The @UN stands ready to make the most of a ceasefire to dramatically scale up humanitarian operations.
The Labour government is here to appease Reform. We are here to defeat Reform. Join us at yourparty.uk
I hope the new party does well, Zack wins, Starmer is replaced by a soft left leader and the Lib Dems' progressive wing asserts itself. Cos honestly, an effective popular front against a Reform / Tory / Murdoch bloc will require ALL of those conditions to be met.
Great to see this from @ZackPolanski 👏 United, we stand; divided, we fall.

In the last hour the new party of the left reached 240,000 members taking all of one day to surpass Reform which has been flogging its bigotry for seven years now.

At an event with Jezza tonight - he was very clear that they want to work collaboratively with the Greens.
I asked Jeremy Corbyn if he felt vindicated after being relentlessly smeared for his pro-Palestine advocacy: "I have a house. I live a normal life. Somebody my age in Gaza doesn't even have water. It's about others, and it's our duty to use that privilege to support them."
“Aid, water supplies, fuel, medical supplies, goddammit baby formula [is] being used as an instrument of occupation and as an instrument of war”. Moazzam Malik, Chief Executive of @savechildrenuk says he has covered this conflict in Gaza for years and the pattern remains the…
Male life expectancy in Glasgow is also 73, meaning if the pension age were to rise to 74 that the average Glaswegian man wouldn't even claim a state pension. There's massive class injustices in these proposals, including the forms of work we'd be asking folk to do in their 70s.
State pension age could rise to 74. Male life expectancy in areas such as Blackpool is 73 years. Something needs to change.
Officers are deployed at key points along the route as well as the form up point. There are additional officers in the vicinity of the counter protest. This week we have also distributed leaflets and deployed signage as a clear reminder about relevant offences.

Carla Denyer, "The UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women has said that" "Palestinian mothers are repeatedly watching their children starve to death, be maimed, killed and be buried alive" "And that this is deliberate, part of Israel's strategy to physically and…
It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

The government is abolishing Ofwat But ruling out PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, normal in 9 out of 10 countries "Blaming Ofwat alone is like blaming the satnav for driving off a cliff when the road was built that way" @labourlewis 💯 The problem is privatisation independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Martin Forde concluded Labour operates a hierarchy of racism, where anti-Black racism & Islamophobia are brushed aside. Now we have a Prime Minister who mimicked Enoch Powell with “island of strangers” & suspended the UK’s first Black woman MP twice. It’s institutional racism.
