@RupaHuq If Burnham can't win a Greater Manchester seat without the help of a left party whose views he does not share, what makes you think he can win a general election?

@OperaSocialist “At least the Tories are no longer in government.” But we have continuity austerity, attacks on benefit claimants, a ramped up hostile environment and a continuing lack of investment in local services — the government still feels pretty Tory to me.

Those that DENY there is GENOCIDE in Gaza are subscribing to a “conspiracy theory” to rank with most ludicrous conspiracy theories of all time They are saying EVERY SINGLE major humanitarian institution in the world is LYING DENIERS include @Keir_Starmer @michaelgove SHAMEFUL
Caitlin Johnstone@caitoz

The single dumbest conspiracy theory in the entire world is that every major humanitarian institution on earth is conspiring to falsely frame Israel for the crime of genocide. And yet believing this bat shit insane conspiracy theory is the only way to think it’s not a genocide. There is no other way to claim that there is no genocide happening in Gaza without treating this self-evidently ridiculous theory as true. In order to believe that there is no genocide in Gaza, you need to accept it as a given that the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory is conspiring to frame Israel for this crime. You also need to believe that the International Association of Genocide Scholars is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, another Israeli organization, is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that Amnesty International is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that Doctors Without Borders are in on the conspiracy. You also need to accept that Human Rights Watch are in on the conspiracy. You also need to accept that the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights is in on the conspiracy. You also need to accept that the International Federation for Human Rights is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe the conspiracy is so widespread and pervasive that there exists not a single major human rights group which holds that Israel is NOT committing genocide in Gaza. You need to believe this conspiracy goes all the way to the top. Toward what end are all these institutions conspiring to deceive the world into thinking that the innocent, virtuous state of Israel is guilty of these heinous crimes? Well, that’s where the “theory” part of conspiracy theory comes in. You need to have some reason why all these groups would be working together to trick everyone into thinking Israel is committing genocide. “Cui bono?”, as they say in conspiracy circles. If you press the average Israel defender to explain why all these institutions would be lying about Israel’s actions in Gaza, you will eventually get them to admit that their theory is that all these institutions secretly hate Jews. That it’s a giant antisemitic conspiracy designed to discredit the Israeli state and make Jewish people feel sad. I defy you to find me a dumber conspiracy theory than this. There’s nothing that can possibly compete. QAnon. Flat earth. Reptilians. They all seem fairly reasonable in comparison to this demented nonsense. They’re certainly a lot less harmful. They’re a lot less harmful because they’re not being used to justify an ongoing genocide, and because they’re not being promoted by the most powerful people in the world. All the major western powers who’ve refused to acknowledge that we’re looking at a genocide in Gaza subscribe to the dumb conspiracy theory in question. All the mass media institutions who frame genocide as an unfounded accusation rather than an established fact verified by the overwhelming consensus of the world’s relevant experts necessarily subscribe to the world’s dumbest conspiracy theory as well. It’s the dumbest conspiracy theory in the world, but it’s also the mainstream narrative. It’s what our governments and our media tell us is reality. They’re a bunch of tinfoil hat-wearing crackpots, and they rule the world. The western empire is the craziest, most murderous, most deceitful, and most dangerous power structure on earth, and it is only getting more so. Which is why the narratives we’re being asked to believe are getting dumber and dumber by the year.

Hi Jonah, I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them too. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression. Judaism existed for thousands of years before Apartheid Israel came into existence, and Judaism will exist for thousands of years after Apartheid Israel collapses. That's because the ideology of Apartheid Israel is Zionism, an ideological movement that set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of overwhelmingly non-Jews. What could possibly go wrong? A short summary: That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. palestinenexus.com/articles/origi… and palestinenexus.com/articles/origi… That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. jstor.org/stable/10.1525… That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. archive.org/details/birtho… That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity archive.org/details/israel… That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe… That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. archive.org/details/1967is… That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe… The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians. That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022).... ....Since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy. Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam ), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide. So, please don't conflate Judaism -- that has existed for thousands of years -- with your modern, fascist anti-Jewish political ideology founded on the principles of forcible displacement & genocide. Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Israel is imploding in real time.

I doubt if senior Greens are opposed to beating Burnham. It would an error. Burnham is committed to taking money from the poor and disabled. This is cruel and destructive to the whole economy. Labour would destroy itself. Only the Greens will fight for the 99% and crush Reform.
Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️@LeftieStats

Under the leadership of these "senior" Greens, the party endured flop after flop. With Polanski, Greens are on 16%, won 6 council majorities + 2 elected Mayors, won new MP, hit 1,300 councillors and have 220,000 members. These losers should shut up and let him get on with it.

I say we, the wider membership, pen an open letter urging the party not to stand aside. Who would sign? We must make opposition to neoliberalism a core value of Green Party if we are to have any chance at wider success long term
Daisy Eastlake@daisyeastlake

🟢 EXCL: Senior Green Party figures have urged Zack Polanski to consider stepping aside for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election if the Greater Manchester mayor commits to introducing proportional representation Green councillors, activists and former party leaders have signed a joint statement warning that the party should approach the contest with “trepidation” The letter, whose signatories include Jonathan Bartley, who led the party between 2016 and 2018, and Rupert Read, a former Green councillor and author, says that Burnham’s election presents a “unique opportunity” to secure reform “In all reality this is not a seat Greens can win. It will be a straight fight between Labour and Reform. But it’s no ordinary by-election. Labour’s candidate, Andy Burnham, is looking to return to Westminster to lead in parliament.” “If Burnham will commit to backing proportional representation for the next general Labour election manifesto so that it is in place by the election after next, then on this unique occasion we don’t think Greens should run a full campaign against him,” the letter says Full read in @thetimes 👇 thetimes.com/article/16d6ba…

Cat Brown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚜🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪
🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: its been revealed that Andy Burnham snapped up an ex council flat in Kennington for just £215,000 in 2005 while serving as an MP. He then happily billed taxpayers for the mortgage interest payments because the rules let him get away with it. That same flat is now worth 480000 to 500000 pounds and he rents it out while insisting the income barely covers his costs and he makes no profit. Yet this is the same man demanding rent freezes council housing takeovers and lower rents for ordinary people. Pure hypocrisy from a classic Westminster grifter feathering his own nest on the back of the system he loves to lecture everyone else about.

🚨🇬🇧 Andy Burnham’s Greater Manchester authority funnelled hundreds of millions in public loans to developer Renaker. They built luxury skyscrapers packed with penthouses. Barely any affordable homes delivered. The tycoon takes £40m+ dividends and relocates to Monaco. This is champagne socialism in action. Public cash for private luxury under Burnham. Andy Burnham has serious questions to answer. @KarenQuinn1973 #AndyBurnham #Manchester #HousingScandal #TaxpayerCash

Reform is proposing the deportation of 2 million people - including people legally here. "Politically it feels quite clever doesn't it," says Trevor Phillips, and leads a discussion that revolves entirely around whether it is affordable and practical. These are people who sweep our streets, look after disabled people, keep the care sector functioning. People who work incredibly hard and are invariably very badly paid. People who have families, lives, hopes, dreams. Without whom the economy simply wouldn't function. This country has arrived at an appalling place.

There are now fewer jobs in the UK than just the people under 25 looking for work. But the job crisis will be ignored, instead it's Disable People's fault for not working jobs that don't exist.

@Handre All famines in Europe 1700 onwards, there was plenty food to feed everyone. But profit prevented the starving being fed. Capitalism is founded on exploitation. When the Irish were starving food was being exported, grain stores in England were full.

Labour have 400 MPs and could implement change without Andy Burnham. What we’re witnessing is a grift. Selling change without changing anything.
Kim Johnson@KimJohnsonMP

Delighted to join hundred of fellow MPs and campaigners at @AndyBurnhamGM’s launch in the Makerfield sunshine. The next six weeks will be crucial in getting him elected - hope to see you on the campaign trail #voteandyforus

Andy Burnham has said Labour needs to change. He has ruled out rejoining EU. He has ruled out PR. He has ruled out borrowing more. He has ruled out higher taxes. He has ruled out changing immigration rules. He has already told you, he won't change anything.
