🚗🚉New @NEF research shows England's new homes are locking in more and more car dependency every year🏘️🛣️ This means higher emissions, worse places, less transport choice and more economic exclusion. What is going wrong? How can the govt avoid repeating these mistakes?... 🧵

FIFA is literally reshaping the narrative around the West Bank, calling it “complex” and “disputed” to slowly normalise what might come next: more annexation of Palestinian land. No wonder the presidents of FIFA and UEFA have been accused for complicity in war crimes…
Kat@KatVilarev

In breach of its of Statutes, FIFA declines to remove Israeli settlement clubs from it's structures saying that it is a very difficult matter of public international law to decide whom does a territory of the West Bank belong to: Palestine or Israel.

Once again FIFA has ignored its own statutes. It's now decided that who owns the West Bank is "disputed". It's not. It's Palestine. This is indefensible and Ireland can take a stand and refuse to be complicit in enforcing apartheid by refusing to play Israel.

Are women in Libya better off after Western intervention? Or Afghanistan? How did they fare after ISIS rose to power in Iraq? You have your Western fantasies about bombing women out of the hijab or whatever, and take no responsibility for what happens next.

Keir Starmer calls on *checks notes* Iran “to get back around the negotiating table.” That’s where they were, then the US and Israel started bombing. The words of a pathetic vassal.

Developer lobbyists say we need to rip up protections to build, build, build. Insurers are warning 1 in 9 new homes are going up in flood-risk areas. We need affordable and council housing in sustainable developments. If you don’t have gills, you should want that too. 🐟

The entire British media pushing the same nonsensical line the morning after a historic progressive victory by the Greens in the UK. The mainstream media is broken. (And also quite racist.) Zeteo.com/subscribe

"I absolutely deny playing to racism" @bbcnickrobinson asks the leader of the Green Party Zack Polanski about accusations of sectarianism towards his party in yesterday's by-election campaigning.

Gorgeous speech. I don’t know I’ve heard an MP say that people who can’t work ALSO DESERVE A NICE LIFE. Disabled people really needed to hear that. I love this.

The emergence of ‘family voting” as an issue and “democracy volunteers” as a force over the last two hours does not just smack of desperation. It’s a dangerous slur on an entire community and a disgrace on those peddling it.

The Greens won because Labour under Starmer has abandoned progressive values, imitating the far-right instead of taking the fight to them. If the Government wants to survive it urgently needs to stand up for workers and defend the fundamental values of our movement.

"Family voting" - of which police and polling station staff saw no evidence during the vote - is totally made up horseshit intended to cast suspicion on ethnic minorities for having the temerity to exercise their democratic right. That's it.

I've just done a Google Trends search for "family voting". Weird how this has managed to materialise as a phenomenon for this one specific by-election!

Owen Jones@owenjonesjourno

There's a coordinated Trumpian attempt to destabilise our democracy. If the Greens win, the claim will be that the election was stolen. Why? Because there were too many Muslims voting against Labour. So we need to know what is meant by "family voting".
