@UKLabour You must know ousting democratically selected people of colour & replacing them with people of the same colour that youβve chosen is straight from the colonial playbook? Because we do. It doesnβt make you less racist; it makes your racism more cynical. #StandwithFaiza

The Green Party must immediately apaologise for calling this racist!

The @BBCNews correspondent describes Netanyahu as 'slick, experienced, media-savvy'.
How about: 'subject to an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza'?
BBC 'News' = propaganda by omission.
The BBCβs Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against βleftistβ and βcentristβ figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as βsoftly spokenβ and βlowkeyβ.
What she leaves out is that heβs a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure.
In what world is that left wing?

Israel doesnβt give a crap; they will stop whoever they can seeing the terrorism going on. The horrors being prosecuted against the indigenous community.
Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.
For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.
The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.
Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

πΊπΈ Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.
If people wish to study modern day Nazism please look at the rantings and writings of @YishaiFleisher
- the epitome of modern day Nazism and Jewish supremacism
Wouldn't have touched any of these restaurants, but might have bought a Gymkhana sauce. Not again as they move to a country that funds the ongoing Congo genocide and that treats workers like shit. @BreadAhead @ParkChinois #Congogenocide theguardian.com/food/2026/ocβ¦
Disgusted that @tombateman, enabled by @BBCNews, interviewed far right racist Greg Bovino on his views on #ICE and Minneapolis. Who lives on appearances with white supremacists at conferences calling for 'remigration'? Who makes Hesgeth, Trump et al seem moderate?
You can't speak to Palestinian people, @MikeTappTweets, because you don't know any Palestinian people'? What a blatantly bigoted, idiotic wanker you so obviously are. Is that how consultation is done? Only with people you know? FFS

Went on @ShelaghFogarty's @LBC show yesterday to talk about the posters encouraging people to boycott the new Gail's in Brixton, and why the people obsessed with Israel aren't the boycotters, but LBC hosts.
Can they just award the 2027 #mercurymusicprize to @fontainesdublin now?
Bye @CarolineLucas!! Iβm sure The Spectator has a job for you.
Just been reading about you, @VivekGRamaswamy. I see youβre a lying pro-rape cunt.

Took a homelessness application from a Muslim household today who had to flee from a violently racist attack on them & their home - which they can never go back to. Probably many such cases, with zero publicity. Wonder if there would be if they were of a different religion.

Two weeks ago you were saying the Labour Party got it wrong on Gaza.
Now you're accepting a report that will effectively ban meaningful and robust criticism of Israel in schools - and which plainly amounts to discrimination against any person expressing anti-Zionist views, despite it being a protected belief.
It candidly and despicably says Muslims disproportionately express antisemitic views, because they hold anti-Israel views. It says 45% of all British people are antisemitic because they believe Israel treats Palestinians like Nazis treated the Jews - such would make NAZA antisemitic too.
It recommends schools more actively involve Prevent - PREVENT! - where students express anti-Zionist or anti-Israel views.
Appallung, gutless, reckless and inflammatory stuff, none of which will withstand even cursory legal scrutiny. The Labour Together Project lives on in the muscle memory of this genocide-complicit Labour administration.

The U.K. twice suspended a Black politician because she said there's a hierarchy of racism with antisemitism at the top and anti-Blackness at the bottom. Today, the U.K. made antisemitism a distinct form of racism and came out with a 27-point plan!
