Nigel Brittain

Yeah, ‘cause it’s hilarious when sincere outrage is voiced by a young Labour member, over the government’s complicity in war crimes and the Prime Minister taunts him, to applause, with a glib, puerile put-down. Jokes!

@MichaelRosenYes @mmbronstein @TheCanaryUK @skwawkbox If it comes from Russia or China it’s called “corruption” but if it comes from Israel it’s called “declared donations”🤷🏻

@MichaelRosenYes @tobagodream @mmbronstein @TheCanaryUK @skwawkbox What do the gifts from any donor mean? The civil service takes the view that all such “donations” are suspect. The same view should be applied in politics. Give politicians a job description, a salary and enough public funding to publicise their political message.

@mmbronstein @TheCanaryUK @skwawkbox Why do we have MPs who are in Conservative/Labour Friends of Israel and/or receive sums of money via Israel? What's that for? What's the point?

LBC radio has yet again given a platform to UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), one of the most extremely-extremist of the UK's Israel lobby groups Via @skwawkbox thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026…

Shocking allegations of BBC complicity with Israel from Courtney Bonneau, who is on the ground in Lebanon covering its attacks.

@Anniepop2027 @OborneTweets If you are simply a conduit for Labour propaganda, it is very poor content, indeed. This level of fawning and ignorant sycophancy is embarrassing and silly. What does Labour gain from it? It simply indicates no faculty for critical thought.

@OborneTweets No, by a man with principles who’s carrying on and is the best PM in decades.

Just read Sir Keir Starmer's article in today's Observer. Has it been scripted by AI? observer.co.uk/news/opinion-a…

The Labour government will not hold a public inquiry into the influence of pro-Israel groups, even after more than 114,000 people called for a probe. novaramedia.com/2026/04/23/uk-…

BREAKING: Keir Starmer’s Business Advisor Varun Chandra held at least 16 undisclosed meetings with top US tech bosses in just one year (via @Guardian) theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Here is an article I wrote several years ago about Trevor Phillips, Islamophobia and the different rules of discourse applied to British Muslims: middleeasteye.net/opinion/trevor…

Phillips' interview with @ZackPolanski is problematic on its own terms but absolutely 🤯 if you know the full, ugly story of @TrevorPTweets and the Labour Party. Buckle up, this is a long and depressing story. Phillips was suspended and put under investigation for alleged Islamophobia by the Labour Party. His suspension was lifted out of the blue - a week before he got his Sunday Politics gig where he would be interviewing Labour pols. Later disclosures show that @ABarrosCurtis played a central role in revisiting the investigation under pressure from unnamed "stakeholders." The story of his suspension being lifted soon leaks to the Guardian. The Labour Party goes mad trying to find the leaker. They end up blaming and suspending two BAME members of staff, neither of whom the Party, in the end, can prove leaked the story. One of the people suspended is the only Muslim person in the Labour Party's disciplinary unit. It is effectively the end of their Labour Party careers. Now the kicker: the Guardian had been leaked the story during the Batley & Spen by-election, which, if Starmer loses, is predicted to led to a leadership challenge. Starmer is under threat in Batley because large numbers of Muslim voters are abandoning the Labour Party. Labour ends up winning by tiny margin, saving Starmer's leadership. But the Guardian holds the story for three weeks. The Guardian only publishes the story two days AFTER the by-election. Would the result have been different if this story was published during a by-election where Islamophobia was a key concern? I don't know. I am absolutely certain that voters in Batley & Spen should have known about this at the time. Now five years later: Alex Barros-Curtis is an MP after a ham-fisted "selection" during 2024 General Election. Trevor Phillips is batting away Polanski talking about his own perspective as a Jewish person. And Starmer and his Party respond to a horrific antisemitic attack by claiming its catalysed by marches against Israeli war crimes, decaying language even as they continue to supply weapons and F-35 parts to Israel even as its killed 800 Gazans since the "ceasefire" and annexing large parts of Lebanon. This whole political and media class needs to get in the bin.

Stephen Kapos has attended every pro-Palestine march. He is Jewish and a survivor of the Holocaust. “We get the warmest, most enthusiastic response from the marchers. They are happy family events, nothing to do with hatred at all. It is a slur.” 🎯

@Dinobun1 @MichaelRosenYes @MoAnsar @DPJHodges I think you need to educate yourself about the ideology of Zionism. You’ve apparently convinced yourself it is simply European colonialism. It’s far more than that, and far worse.

@MichaelRosenYes @MoAnsar @DPJHodges If Zionism is the right for Israel to exist, the bulk of Jews are Zionists . They are not protesting & attacking non Jewish ppl who believe in that are they? They are stopping to ask Jews opinions before attacking them. Some of the strongest Pro-Palli Jews were murdered on Oct 7

One thing on the pro-Palestine marches. If you accept they directly intimidate the Jewish community (which they do) then you must also acknowledge the Unite the Kingdom rallies have precisely the same effect on Muslim and other minority communities. We ban both, or neither.

@dj98544 @ZackPolanski You really aren’t worth anyone’s time. Blocked.

@dj98544 @ZackPolanski It’s crazy how the most puerile dullards and bigots get the chance to smell their own emissions on X, and seem to believe the dullest and most stultifyingly stupid playground banter is worth saying, or hearing.

Thanks for all the lovely comments and support from media round this morning. Great to see Green Party membership ticking up as we enter a really crucial week. Let's end Rip Off Britain. Join.greenparty.org.uk

@ZackPolanski @Vonni2 Zack - you are a very clever political operator, long-awaited, (I’m 66!) by us on the “left,” an inspiring and principled person. I wish you every success.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Your policy of min wage to £15 per hour, how can small businesses afford that?" Zack Polanski, "When I announced the policy I said it has to be a holistic approach that includes supporting small businesses" LK who earns £192 per hour again asks about a £15 per hour min wage

Prior to #GoldersGreen attack, #EssaSuleiman was previously 1. Jailed for stabbing a police officer and his dog 2. Referred to government’s anti-extremism Prevent program 3. Suffering serious mental health problems and subsequently living in supported accommodation 4. Tried to stab a Muslim man hours before his attack on two Jewish men. More importantly, how is @10DowningStreet considering banning #GazaGenocide‌ as the cause when the failures are lie squarely with Prevent, police, NHS and, the likelihood that this is not terrorism.

Mentally ill man is tasered Out of control sadistic police officers kick him repeatedly in the head Sadistic cop commissioner claims it's wrong to call out the excessive violence Sadistic PM claims those demanding sanity are the problem, and proposes policing gets more insane.

@IoWBobSeely @ZackPolanski Pompous claptrap. MPs get away with “gifts and donations” which should be banned, as in the civil service. The fact that they have their grotesque snouts in the trough every other way possible, adds insult to injury. We need a reset, with fewer perks and more responsibility.

You silly fool, MPs don't 'get drunk' at work. When you are voting in the evening, you also need to eat - if you're not going to ban supper for MPs? - and sometimes attend meetings and events. If you have a glass of wine, big deal. Sure, you can find alcoholics in Parliament just like you can find them everywhere. Just like you find fools and anti-Semites, for that matter.

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote. Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.

@ZackPolanski @theleftbible I think you are mislead into thinking there is any moral distinction about Labour MPs. With a few clear exceptions, the PLP is a toxic clique of greedy opportunists.
