mohammed hussein~Gaza 🇵🇸
I write to you today, in my own words, about an event I can never forget ✍️ I remember in the middle of the Gaza war, specifically in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, when the Israeli army began surrounding us and shouting through loudspeakers, ordering us to come toward them. They had set up a point to arrest us, beat us, and search us. When I reached that point, one of them said in Arabic: “You are rats. Bow your heads and walk.” Sadly, I lowered my head and walked, because I was carrying my son Adam in my arms, and beside me was my wife Yara holding our son Imad. I was not afraid of death — perhaps death would have been easier for me than the humiliation of my dignity. But I was afraid for my family, and I chose my humiliation over anything bad happening to them. These are memories that can never be erased from my mind, unfortunately.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil has been confirmed killed by Israel. Let's be clear: they targeted her, they launched a missile at her, and they prevented emergency services from reaching her. They are doing to Lebanon's journalists what they did to Gaza's.

Jonathan Cook with crystal clarity on the significance of Starmer's rise to power still being buried by 'mainstream' media: 'Labour Together emerged as an exercise in democracy subversion to stop a socialist gaining power. And it then continued as an exercise in democracy subversion to install permanent guardrails against the Labour party ever being led by anyone other than a placeman, like Starmer, for the billionaires. 'The point was to make British politics a simulacrum of US politics: two main parties representing – and ensuring the permanent rule of – the super-rich, and mirroring minor internal differences in their perceptions of how to best safeguard their class interests. 'All of this happened in full view over the past decade. But it was impossible to get it into the mainstream.'

@Heccles94 Not a difficult choice. I think Zack Polanski is brilliant. But are the Greens quite ready for power yet? If Reform gets in I am jumping off the cliffs…

Labour is finished. The question is, who do you want to replace them? Farage and his far-right pals? Or a new generation of Greens?

Christ is risen. For the fifth Easter in a row, many Ukrainians have no church to return to — russia left only rubble. Yet even among the ruins, our faith remains unshaken. Remember this, and if you have any humanity left, don’t stop standing with Ukraine.

Rushanara Ali has been the Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Stepney since 2010. In 2009, Rushanara, as a director of The Young Foundation, was listed by the @guardian as one of the most powerful Muslim women in Britain. Rushanara has a long association with the Parliamentary Labour Party. She initially worked in the Community Cohesion Unit at the Home Office from 2002 to 2005. It was in this period, in 2004, that Rushanara joined the British American Project (BAP) - a transatlantic organisation that was founded by the U.S. Embassy in London in the 1980s. The BAP’s funders include @BAESystemsInc @bp_UK and the @CIA . The late investigative journalist Paul Foot described the BAP as effectively a ‘“CIA front organisation” set up to “promote sensible elements in British Labour”.’ As well as Rushanara, other Labour individuals currently members of the BAP include Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, Birkenhead MP Alison McGovern and Peter Mandelson. Rushanara currently sits on the BAP executive committee alongside the former head of MI6 John Sawers. Until August 2025, Rushanara was the government Minister for Homelessness and Rough Sleeping but resigned her post in controversial circumstances over issues connected to her rented properties in London. Rushanara was involved in the plots, coups and leadership bids aimed at ending Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership and was vocal in telling Corbyn to “do the decent thing” and step down. During the 2010-2015 Parliament, it was noted that Rushanara had claimed £642,982.00 in expenses. At the 2024 election, Rushanara’s 2019 majority of 37,000 was reduced to 1,700. In March 2026, Rushanara called for a ban on political donations in cryptocurrency and warned that they represent “the threat of foreign interference in our democracy”. In the world of pounds, shillings and pence, the @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Rushanara has received £80,680.53 in donations. Her donations and perks include: £25,000 in 2 payments from private healthcare supremo Peter Hearn. £3,544.56 from the World Islamic Economic Forum. £3,418.57 from @IslamicReliefUK £595.13 from Uprising Leadership to attend a BAP conference in Manchester. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 £5,000 from the publisher Kate Gavron. £2,500 from Dominic Griffiths. £6,550 from the Qatar Foreign Ministry for a trip to the Doha Forum. ✈️ 🇶🇦. £1,490 from the Qatar Embassy for a trip to the Doha Forum. ✈️ 🇶🇦 £4,287 from the U.S. Embassy in London for a visit to a BAP conference in the USA. ✈️ 🇺🇸 £2,710.50 from The Halo Trust for a visit to Somalia. ✈️ 🇸🇴 £7,100 from Media City Qatar for the Bloomberg Economic Forum. ✈️ 🇶🇦 £606 from @sdowdtrust for a visit to Ukraine. ✈️ 🇺🇦 £1,520 from the UAE government to visit the UAE. ✈️ 🇦🇪 £1,515.65 from the @ECIU_UK for a trip to Dubai in the UAE. ✈️ 🇦🇪 £4,711 from the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a visit to the UAE. ✈️ 🇦🇪 £1,299 from @WorldVision for a visit to Lebanon. ✈️ 🇱🇧 £2,428.30 from @RESCUEorg for a visit to Bangladesh. ✈️ 🇧🇩 £3,221 from @Oxfam for a visit to Bangladesh. ✈️ 🇧🇩 £3,544.56 from the World Economic Forum for a visit to Bangladesh. ✈️ 🇧🇩 £2,500 from the Seoul Government for a visit to South Korea. ✈️ 🇰🇷 £2,730.10 from the Brazil Chamber of Deputies for a visit to Brazil. ✈️ 🇧🇷 With her basic £93,904 salary, expenses (£326,562.73 claimed since 1st April 2024), donations, allowances, international travel, rental income from her two London properties, speaking engagements and perks, Rushanara’s fifteen years as an MP have been very rewarding. And as an MP, Rushanara initially voted to retain the two-child benefit cap, voted to scrap the winter fuel payment to pensioners, voted for the welfare changes that will impact people who are disabled and unwell, voted against an inquiry into grooming gangs and voted to restrict trials by jury. ‘The Labour Party - Working For You’. @UKLabour @rushanaraali #LocalElections2026 #LabourDoorstep @bgblabour @AnasSarwar

A retired RAF squadron leader told us that Keir Starmer’s claim he only let the US use British bases for “defensive” airstrikes on Iran is a “fiction”. It was “glaringly obvious” that US missions from RAF Fairford were conducting offensive strikes. declassifieduk.org/starmers-defen…
