This is the UK we love. Everyone together having a good time. 🇬🇧🫶🏽

In late March, I had the privilege of speaking to Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn in Havana. He reflected on why we must support Cuba, why Trump hates them and the real threat they pose, which is showing that another world is possible. #letCubaLive youtube.com/watch?v=Xg9n63…

15% of every F-35 jet bombing Gaza is made in Britain. Lancashire. Edinburgh. Brighton. Even when his government admitted F-35s could be used for war crimes, Starmer kept selling the parts. What would Burnham do? Jeremy Corbyn has put the question to him.

The women of Turkey held the barricades at CHP headquarters this week. They faced tear gas. They did not move. Your Party stands with every Turkish feminist, trade unionist and Kurdish activist on the front line of this fight. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

This week, the ICC requested an arrest warrant against Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. In response, he ordered the forcible evacuation and demolition of Khan al-Ahmar in the occupied West Bank. This is ethnic cleansing. When will our government end its complicity?

I have written to Andy Burnham to ask whether he would establish an independent public inquiry into the British government’s complicity in genocide.

Update: Andy Burnham is now Shabana Mahmood with short back and sides. So much for “change”. Pathetic.

Abolish the Monarchy.

. @jeremycorbyn has put pressure on @AndyBurnhamGM to commit to an independent public inquiry on Gaza - your move, Burnham thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

Outside Downing Street last night with the families of flotilla activists who were abducted by Israel. People sail to Gaza with one intention: to save the lives of Palestinians being starved to death. Their abominable treatment is an assault on our common humanity.

Would Andy Burnham establish a full, independent, public inquiry into Britain's role in Israel's genocide if he were prime minister? Jeremy Corbyn has written to ask. This is the moral issue of our times, and the public deserves to know where Burnham stands.

"Cuba is not a threat. The threat is imperialism." Following previous communication, the European Left Party reiterates its stand: we firmly condemn the US's alarming new aggression against Cuba, now using a criminal indictment against Raúl Castro as a further means to escalate and subjugate the Cuban people. This is not justice. This is a political weapon: extraterritorial, illegitimate, and designed to criminalize Cuba's independence. For over six decades, the US has maintained a policy of blockade, energy siege, financial persecution, and destabilization. Europe must not stay silent or subordinate itself to the US. Cuba is not alone! Read our full statement 👇 european-left.org/the-el-condemn…

Reform UK is not the rebellion. Reform UK is the establishment in a different suit. Its function: keep workers blaming each other while 56 people owning more than 27 million Britons stay untouched

Zionism is racism.

Struggling to steer a course through the choppy waters of the UK Left? Take a breath, step back from those acrimonious WhatsApp groups sapping your energy. Come to Sheffield on June 6 and join others in the same boat!

Only Arsenal❤️

North London is RED. #Arsenal #Champions2026

Incredible scenes outside the Emirates. A moment I will never forget. Arsenal - Premier League Champions! #COYG

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

🇨🇺 @europeanleft we denounced to @kajakallas the criminal US blockade against Cuba and Trump’s new executive orders. The EU must enforce the Anti-Blockade Act and stop complicity. Cuba is not a threat: it is a cause for humanity. #UnblockCuba
