Lula’s victory is an enormous win for Brazilian workers, marginalised communities and the future of our planet. Against the backdrop of a sinister coup attempt, smears and far-right intimidation, the people united for hope by rejecting another odious Trump puppet.
Brazil's left-wing President Lula has celebrated with his family and allies, after being elected for a fourth term. He defeated Flávio Bolsonaro - the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. Read more: bbc.in/4zWY8g0

Basic education piece: Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Lots of Zionists aren't Jews. The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists. The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people. Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

The government’s decision to approve the Jackdaw gas field is a betrayal of any hope for a sustainable future on our planet. Burnham has sold out every single one of us to keep his mates in the private sector rich. Utterly shameful.
BREAKING: The controversial Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea has been approved by Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh. Business and economics correspondent @pkelso reports from Aberdeen with the latest.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people.

It's genuinely baffling that the UK government can smear the Greens as a party of antisemitism for passing a motion calling Zionism racist, and then very next week post statements condemning the racist ethnic cleansing of the West Bank by Zionist illegal settlers.

This commentary is disgraceful, and poses a genuine threat to the safety and security of British Jews. Support for Israel is not synonymous with the Jewish faith and to suggest otherwise is grotesquely antisemitic.
“[Saying] ‘Zionism is racism’ is offensive, it’s antisemitic and it’s dangerous” Broadcaster Jo Coburn says she “watched in horror” as the Green Party passed its motion on Zionism and criticises leader Zack Polanski's defence in his #BBCLauraK interview bbc.co.uk/news/live/c64gv8k2…

Let’s be clear, if Sally Rooney had been doing the TV rounds justifying Israel’s bombing of hospitals and the slaughter in Gaza, instead of defending the Palestinian peoples’ right to exist, she would still be able to sell her books in Britain today.

The totally irresponsible conflation of anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel with the scourge of antisemitism is utterly disgraceful, and continues to put the safety and security of British Jews at risk.
🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham rules out a coalition deal with the Green Party over its "Zionism is racism" motion "It is wrong. It is antisemitic. We will have nothing to do with it" #PMQs

Zack Polanski might not have won the Holborn & St Pancras by-election but that he stood and came so close to victory should be viewed as a statement of intent and ambition for the Green Party going into the next election. Bold politics will continue to pay off.

If there was a precedent to ban demonstrations on the basis of Palestinian men, women and children being killed in Gaza that day, every single day of the year would be out of bounds. Spoke to @GBNEWS on why it is right for anti-genocide demonstrations to take place today.

Ultimately, Zionism is a non-homogeneous political movement predicated on ethnonationalism, religious supremacy and the right of unquestionable dominion. Its conflation with Jewish safety around the world is as dangerous as it is deliberate.

Autonomy, self-determination and a peoples right to exist are inalienable but must never come at the expense of the rights, protections and freedoms of others, as has been the case with the creation of Israel, the Nakba and decades of Palestinian subjugation.

Despite media and political maligning, being anti-Zionist is far from a contradiction for committed antiracist movements and activists. Fighting antisemitism, along with all forms of racism and bigotry, remains a moral duty for us all.

Holocaust survivor and activist Stephen Kapos explains why he rejects Zionism, drawing on his childhood experience of persecution and his opposition to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.

Even for the Mail’s standards this story is low, and is nothing more than a grim attempt to smear Zack Polanski. Antisemitism in Europe was rampant before WW2. Nazism and the Holocaust were manifestations of years of persecution that led to mass migration long before the camps.

As the Mail note in their story, Polanski has actually said his grandparents were born in Britain, and that it is almost certainly the case his wider family fled the scourge of antisemitism. Antisemitism, by the way, that was cheered on by The Daily Mail.
