The government's plan to proscribe Palestine Action is part of a wider crackdown on protest. Instead of taking steps to prevent genocide, the gov wants to criminalise people demanding justice for Palestinians. Sign the petition to oppose this plan: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/NoProscription

The way Zarah Sultana was treated by Good Morning Britain's hosts and panellists this morning was nothing short of appalling. Ask tough questions – she's used to it! – but the sneering and constant interrupting when she was trying to talk about the realities of racism and Islamophobia as the only person of colour on set came across as completely callous and tone-deaf.

Young Swifties are making friendship bracelets and raising money while grown men throw bricks and spew hatred.

@stellacreasy hugely disappointing that you voted to keep the 2-child benefit cap, its cruel and shameful and you know it.

Pleased to hear Minister just committed that the disgraceful NCC form which requires rape victims to disclose their child not consensual as part of being exempted from two child cap doesn’t have a future under Labour Government. 3000 women had to fill one in last year alone.

To understand how superficial this Labour win is you only need to zoom out. After 14 years in office, the Tories are truly spent. They have nothing to offer. Redolent of Blair’s win in 1997, a well-fed show pig would have won. But party backers and strategists understand the importance of breaks in power that allow for party consolidation and reinvention — but only provided that power doesn’t fall to candidates that will challenge the status quo during those breaks. The Tories were going to eventually lose — this is the perfect time, for them, to do so. In practice, the Tories handing the reins to a Labour Party that broadly supports all the same policies is a win for those the Tories represent — the ruling class. They know that eventually us plebs have to see a term or two under a different government to appease us, but they know Starmer won’t challenge their wealth and power and privilege during this period. In fact, they’re so chuffed that Starmer is their man, versus someone like Corbyn who’d have taxed the shit out of them to help reduce inequality, that they’re out in their droves supporting him. And so it goes: the veneer of democracy is upheld while nothing material will change. So, no, this is not a win for the common person; on the contrary, it’s a win for those who oppress us. And anyone celebrating this is a useful idiot, naively greasing the wheels of our shared exploitation.

Waking up to Corbyn, Abbot, five pro-Palestine indies and four Greens winning their seats is more positive news than I expected from this desperate little shitshow The seeds of change that Corbyn helped plant continue to grow in spite of it all, but there’s still much work to do

Can’t believe people want me to hold my nose and vote for 2009 tories wearing a red jacket and they couldn’t do the same for a progressive Labour Party in 2019 lmaooo jog on mate

I'm a Scorpio but fun fact I have this @pollynor demon tattooed above my boob cuz I love it so much, cigarette and all 🤣🤣💯💯

In Gaza, Israel has destroyed - churches dating back to the 5th century, mosques to the early 7th century - every university - museums - cemeteries - an ancient harbour - libraries - archives And people are crying over a painting of the arch-racist Arthur Balfour.

remember when there was like 24-48 hours on here where people were screaming there was NO POSSIBLE WAY israel would bomb a hospital YOU’RE SICK FOR EVEN SAYING THAT and now they’re just brazenly funnelling thousands of palestinians into “safe zones” and promptly obliterating them

They told us that sports isn’t the place for politics but then turned around and ran ads for nations that are facilitating genocide during the Super Bowl. Funny how that works.

You spend months driving people south. You announce it is the only safe zone. You kettle the people there. And then you attack them by air and land. That is textbook genocide and anyone who denies it is a genocide supporter.

i will never forget refaat, his words, his humour, his strength, his intelligence and compassion for as long as i live.

5840 children were killed in Gaza in 46 days that’s not including the missing ones under the rubble.

The number of young people I know who have gone from canvassing for the Labour Party in the freezing cold to vowing that they will never vote Labour while the current leader is in charge is really quite staggering. A generation feeling proper betrayal
