Israeli soldiers were caught on video raping Palestinian Victim suffered ruptured intestine, severe injury to anus, lungs & broken ribs Israelis rioted for the right to rape, government ministers defended soldiers & 1 rapist became a TV celebrity All charges were then dropped

I know the news Andy Burnham has a route back to Westminster will divide opinion. So, before anything else, I want to speak plainly – to Labour members and voters, to those who have left us, and to anyone on the centre-left, whether you vote Green, Lib Dem, or are simply looking for a politics that hasn't given up on you. Last week's local election results were, for many of us, existential. Not disappointing. Not a setback. Existential. Look across Europe and beyond at what happens to social democratic parties that refuse to step outside the economic orthodoxy of the last forty years – the one that hollowed out our public services, privatised what was ours, drove inequality to indecent levels, and cleared the ground for the authoritarian right to march into. That is the path we are on. Keir Starmer has refused to see it, and the country cannot afford another general election spent finding out the hard way. So let me be direct. The Prime Minister should set out a timeline for an orderly transition. I have said this before. I say it again now because the stakes have changed. Reform is not a protest – it is a project. And it will not be beaten by a Labour Party that mistakes managerial caution for strategy. As regards Andy, I want to set down here that I do not see him as some kind of messiah. Far from it. As someone who has been around frontline politics for more than twenty years, he has made his fair share of mistakes. But for the last ten years he has been a serious, grounded, and effective Mayor of Greater Manchester. The party and the country need their strongest players on the pitch, and he has a great deal to offer at a moment when the national stage has rarely mattered more. I hope the NEC will listen to the overwhelming view of the Cabinet, the PLP, the membership, and the unions, and let Andy stand. And I hope and believe the people of Makerfield will send him back to Parliament. But that is not a given. We know Reform will throw everything at this by-election. We must do the same and then some. Reform have spent a year being told they are inevitable. Makerfield is where we find out whether that is true. Every advance has a limit. This is where we set it. Millions of people, including my constituents in Norwich South, need this government to succeed. They need housing, working public services, secure jobs, water and energy that serves them rather than extracts from them. That work is not finished. But the honest truth is that stopping Reform and rebuilding the country is bigger than any one party. It will take a progressive politics willing to listen, willing to cooperate where the public interest demands it, and willing to drop the tribal habits that got us here. The country is ahead of us on this. It is time we caught up. Makerfield is one of many places where Labour has lost trust. It is an area Andy knows and has lived in for many years. If selected, he will work hard to win that trust back and make the case for a Labour Party worth voting for again. That case has to be made not only to people who once voted Labour, but to everyone who believes the answer to Reform is a serious, democratic, social alternative – not a paler imitation of the politics that created the problem. This by-election is not about one seat. It is a test of whether Labour understands the moment we are in. No single party is going to stop Reform on its own. The progressive majority in this country is real – but it is scattered across Labour, the Greens, the Lib Dems, nationalists, independents, and millions of people who have stopped voting altogether. Our job is not to demand they all come back to us. It is to earn the right to work with them, on shared ground, for a shared future. To former Labour voters: come and talk to us again. To Green and Lib Dem voters: we are not enemies. To Labour members and MPs: this is the fight. Let's get on with it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Consensus! Two parliamentarians, Baron Gove of Torry (Tory) and Baroness Hazarika of Coatbridge (Labour), both agree that the march on Saturday commemorating the Nakba & opposing Israels apartheid & genocide, should be banned You might ask, who elected these people? Who indeed.

Zionists regularly rape Palestinians with iron rods and dogs. Some are raped to death. Then they become television celebrities. Piers Morgan provides cover for these ethnosupremacist monsters and the regime by repeating unsubstantiated rape claims from October 7. God is just.

It's utterly beyond me that anyone can look at the way this prick is dressed and take anything he has to say seriously. We are a joke of a country.

Barry Gardiner is sitting behind the prime minister in the Commons with a copy of The Fraud by Paul Holden, the excoriating book about Labour Together, Morgan McSweeney and Keir Starmer’s leadership of the Labour Party 👀

@EthanCroft98 @AaronBastani Oh… someone must have a pic of that!

I've said i've made mistakes and that nobody is perfect, but on this you really don't have to worry!

I called for time for serious discussion, no precipitous coup & fully democratic process if leadership election.Instead Wes Streeting has launched coup for fear of a democratic process & whilst candidates are blocked. Handing leadership to Mandelson’s protege is gift to Reform

Listening to Darren Jones #r4today it sounds like Starmer is going to brazen it out? Will we start to see defections to #GreenParty ?

Hate to say I told you so, but I did. 2023: “Unable to deliver, within a couple of years of coming to power Starmer will be hated on every street in Britain.” Wasn’t clairvoyance. Lots of us were pointing at a great big lying blimp in the sky that the media pretended not to see

Yes, Absolutely this thread 🧵 There clearly were signs but the chattering classes thought they wanted “sensible” and as a result, pretty much terminal damage has been done to the Labour party by the shifty,lying, empty shell that is #Starmer

Zack is spot on.

If you’re still having to clarify what your values are 11 years after becoming an MP, 6 years after becoming Leader of the Opposition, and 2 years into being Prime Minister, it’s because you don’t actually have any.

this cannot be real. parody?

Harman and Brown - Starmer’s plan is to bring in all the people who worked with Mandelson 30 years ago. Genius. 😂
