Absolute bombshell. Respected Jewish Rabbi Herschel Gluck completely shatters the establishment narrative. He confirms more British Jews march for Palestine pro-rata than any other group. He declares banning these protests is an actual antisemitic attack on the Jewish community.

Well said David Dimbleby (on the UK government’s decision to send King Charles on a State visit to the USA): 'We are dealing with a president who is a narcissist and a bully and he has been bullying Britain. He has been rude about our armed forces, about our role in Afghanistan. The King is the head of the Armed Forces and I think a rebuke of some kind is necessary. A state banquet? While he's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East...? I don't see that the full panoply of a state banquet and a speech at Congress is appropriate, it is a misuse of the King, who has to do what he is told by the Government. It is giving Trump more than he deserves.”

What a fucking embarrassment. American troops are being sent into harm’s way in Iran and this fucking idiot is doing his double jerkoff dance while waving a sword, like a drunk uncle at a wedding. This is who has the nuclear codes. America is a parody.

It’s unbelievable‼️

Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism 😂 In fact it’s evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.

Exclusive from @patrickkmaguire and our podcast The State of It Labour has accused the Greens of “whipping up hatred” among Muslim voters before this week’s pivotal by-election after they called for Sir Keir Starmer’s party to be “punished for Gaza” A cabinet minister said that the Greens are “hammering us” by “deliberately raising the salience of Gaza" Hannah Spencer, the Green candidate, has distributed leaflets in Gorton & Denton in Urdu, saying that voters should “make Labour pay” and accusing them of pushing “racist, dog whistle gutter policies” On the leaflet, she is wearing a keffiyeh, the Middle Eastern scarf commonly associated with Palestine On Monday, the party circulated a campaign video in Urdu accusing Matt Goodwin, the Reform UK candidate, of being someone who will “fuel the flames of Islamophobia” The video shows Starmer shaking hands with Narendra Modi, the Hindu nationalist prime minister of India, and also shows David Lammy, the deputy prime minister, shaking hands with Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel. The video cuts to aerial footage of Gaza as Spencer, speaking in Urdu, says: “Politicians aren’t working for us.” The same video has been created and circulated in Bangla and is set to be recreated in Arabic and Pashto before the vote on Thursday A senior cabinet minister said: “The Greens are whipping up hatred and deliberately raising the salience of Gaza. They’re hammering us. They’re a totally different party to the one we thought they were. They’re just like Respect — it’s like fighting a by-election against George Galloway.” Lucy Powell, the deputy Labour leader, said: “Voters on Thursday have a straight choice between Labour or Reform, between unity or division. “The Green campaign is becoming increasingly desperate and has been characterised by misinformation with dodgy bar charts, selective quoting of academics and now a shameful attempt to manipulate the respected Muslim community. What do Greens say? “Voting Green let Reform win in Runcorn. Voters here are more alive to that threat every day … We will keep hammering the message that Labour is the only serious contender that will beat Reform.” A Green Party source said: “I speak Urdu, and I listened to the Urdu one and it’s actually beautifully translated. I highly recommend they listen to the messaging about cost of living and bringing communities together in the translation. And when the Greens talk about being inclusive, they really mean it. Unlike Labour, who only care about their ultra wealthy donors.” With @patrickkmaguire and @Gabriel_Pogrund open.spotify.com/episode/2KJaTX…

Message to Keir: Do not underestimate the depth of anger people will feel about this disgusting decision. If you think it strengthens you I tell you it will simply hasten your demise. You could have shown magnanimous leadership but instead it’s cowardice. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

This has been going on for 77 years.

George Bush: We have to free the people of Iraq from their tyrant leader. Barack Obama: We have to free the people of Libya from their tyrant leader. Donald Trump: We have to free the people of Iran from their tyrant leader. ...when does someone free the people of America from our tyrant leaders?

This is brilliant by Myriam Francois. A superb summing-up of what Israel is doing.

@steffd62 @CarolineLucas @AngelaRayner @_Government_UK Nobody? You batted an eyelid and so did I - it is the cozy Westminster bubble at fault. She will survive because so many others are corrupt and will not take action - next time it might be them. As an MP I was disgusted by the perks and backhanders and the conspiracy of silence

Tory ministers found to have broken the Ministerial Code BUT NEVER WERE TREATED LIKE @AngelaRayner. They also need to clamp down on Second jobs and Mp expenses Farage has earned 1 million and nobody bats an eyelid... It's about time @_Government_UK start holding Politicians from all Parties to account and @UKParliament . Farage has literally committed treason against King Charles trying to get uk Sanctioned by USA @realDonaldTrump include Priti Patel for undisclosed meetings with Israeli officials, Nadhim Zahawi for tax affairs, Boris Johnson for a delayed parliamentary report on his new role, Suella Braverman for sending a Cabinet document to a colleague, Liam Fox over his relationship with a friend, and David TC Davies for using government office for party political purposes. Here are some notable examples of Tory ministers who have faced accusations or findings of breaching the Ministerial Code: Priti Patel: Was forced to resign as International Development Secretary in 2017 after she had 14 undisclosed meetings with Israeli officials. Nadhim Zahawi: Sacked as Conservative Party Chair in 2023 after the independent adviser found serious breaches of the code regarding his tax affairs. Boris Johnson: Breached the ministerial code by not clearing his new job with a newspaper through the relevant parliamentary authorities in advance of the announcement. Suella Braverman: Resigned as Home Secretary in 2022 after it was found she had breached the Ministerial Code by sending a Cabinet document to a trusted colleague. Liam Fox: Resigned as Defence Secretary in 2011 after an official report confirmed he had breached the code regarding his relationship with Adam Werritty. David TC Davies: Accused of breaching the code by using his government office to film an anti-Labour video for his party's campaign. Michael Fallon: Forced to resign in 2017 following allegations of harassment from female journalists. The Compendium of Cabinet Codebreakers The Compendium of Cabinet Codebreakers records the misconduct of members of the cabinet byYorkshire Bylines 23-03-2021 05:36 - Updated On 13-06-2024 13:27Reading Time: 15 mins The ministers we believe may have broken the code are listed below. Click on the names to find out what they did or are alleged to have done: Kemi Badenoch James Cleverley Michael Gove Chris Heaton-Harris Jeremy Hunt Alister Jack Robert Jenrick Johnny Mercer Andrew Mitchell Dominic Raab Mel Stride Rishi Sunak Ben Wallace Badenoch has potentially broken the code once Kemi Badenoch was accused last year of breaking the ministerial code while serving as equalities minister. Badenoch leaked private correspondence with journalist Nadine White, lashing out at the reporter on Twitter and describing her as “creepy”. In the process, she exposed White to online abuse, and the journalist had to lock their Twitter account to avoid further attacks. Labour MP Marsha de Cordova accused Badenoch of acting in an unprofessional manner, and disclosing private information not in the public interest, thus breaching the code. Cleverly has allegedly broken the ministerial code once James Cleverly was accused last June when serving as Middle East minister of breaching the ministerial code in failing to answer parliamentary questions in relation to arms sales to Israel. Reporting by Declassified UK revealed that Cleverly had obfuscated answers to 14 questions in a short span of time, falling short of the requirement for ministers to “be as open as possible with parliament”. Gove has potentially broken the ministerial code three times It has been revealed that Michael Gove misused covid emergency funds to conduct polling on the Union. Whether or not this broke the law, it certainly breached the ministerial code, which dictates that government resources should not be used for campaigning uses. Heaton-Harris has potentially broken the code once While acting as a junior Brexit minister, Chris Heaton-Harris was accused of breaching the ministerial code by former Liberal Democrat MP Tom Brake. Brake alleged that, in meeting with representatives from Spanish far-right party Vox without reporting this through the proper channels, Heaton-Harris had failed to live up to the transparency standards set in the code. Hunt has potentially broken the code three times When acting as Theresa May’s health secretary, Jeremy Hunt was told by then parliamentary standards commissioner Kathryn Stone that he had broken the ministerial code twice over issues with the purchase of luxury flats. Hunt had registered his interest in seven flats bought by him and his wife a day late, and failed to report his purchase of the flats. Both of these registered as separate breaches of the code, according to Stone. Jack has potentially breached the ministerial code once Alister Jack used the gov.uk website to promote a Daily Mail article he’d written. The article praised Douglass Ross and criticised the Scottish National Party in government. Publishing this on a government website potentially broke the code, in using government property for party political purposes. Jenrick has potentially breached the ministerial code once Robert Jenrick may have broken the ministerial code in leaving his ministerial briefcase unattended on a train. The code entrusts ministers with maintaining the security of government business, which Jenrick allegedly did. Mercer has potentially breached the ministerial code once Johnny Mercer is back in office for the third time as minister of state for veterans’ affairs. In his first stint in the role, he was accused of leaking information in order to pass the Overseas Operations Act, which provided legal protections for soldiers accused of committing war crimes overseas. If true, this would represent a serious breach of the code, which requires ministers to obtain permission from the prime minister before disclosing sensitive policy matters. Mitchell has potentially breached the ministerial code once While David Cameron’s international development secretary, Andrew Mitchell was accused of breaking the ministerial code to get a ban lifted on a prominent cocoa dealer who had donated to Mitchell’s parliamentary office. Mitchell had allegedly been asked for help by Anthony Ward, described as the ‘real-life Willy Wonka’, after his firm, Armajaro Holdings, was banned from trading after allegations that one of their contractors had been involved in illegal smuggling. Armajaro donated £40,000 to Mitchell’s parliamentary office between August 2006 and December 2009. As a result, Mitchell can be credibly accused of having had a conflict of interest in the affair. Stride has potentially breached the code four times In 2018, Conservative peer Lord Forsyth hinted that Mel Stride, then Theresa May’s financial secretary to the Treasury, was not following ministerial rules in failing to show up to Forsyth’s finance bill sub-committee. In a letter, Forsyth noted that he had invited Stride to speak on the basis of the code stating that “ministers have a duty to Parliament to account, and be held to account, for the policies, decisions and actions of their departments and agencies.” In total, Stride refused on four separate occasions to sit before the committee.

Right wing media has had it in for @AngelaRayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake & has paid heavily for it. Hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics needs more voices like hers

@CarolineLucas @AngelaRayner Gracious - but misguided. In any other job she would be sacked.
