Labour retrospectively kicking away the ladder from people who have come to this country in good faith to contribute and to bring massive benefits to all of us is cruel, cowardly, and un British.

Labour stand in total disgrace today. Ed Miliband’s fake apology can go in the bins that probably will now go uncollected. Collapsing local partnerships to play politics and making support for Israel ‘a red line’, a red line we didn’t impose on our councillors for Labour literally arming a genocide.

The government's plan is unraveling fast. While families suffer the banks are celebrating getting off lightly.
The choice is clear - either we boost incomes and cut bills, or this country risks falling further into despair and distrust.

Someone help @UKLabour. They've tried nothing and they're all out of ideas.

"When the Chancellor talks about difficult choices, why are they always difficult choices for migrants, for disabled people, and for young people? It's time to tax the rich." - Zack Polanski speaks at the March Against Austerity ahead of the Budget.

And first of all, do not engage with the far-right. They do not care about facts and arguments, only with boosting their social media footprint too attract more hateful people to follow them. That's how Brazil beat the algorithm!

Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields.
He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future"
We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense.
Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

6pm Trafalgar Square - tonight! 👇🏽
Tonight - join @ZackPolanski and @jeremycorbyn to march against austerity.
The political class concedes nothing if you don't fight for it. Let's build a movement for an alternative to misery and decline.

Today marks 100 days since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister.
He could have stopped arms sales to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel on day one. He chose not to.
For 100 days, he has willingly continued selling UK arms that enable the genocide of the Palestinian people.
100 days of personal complicity.
Stop ALL arms sales to Israel NOW.

Three paragraphs when two words would have done.
"Revolving door."
Mr Polanski, I know you have a reputation for being scrupulous about checking your facts, but you’ve missed an important detail.
My contract requires me to remain on leave from the Lords, surrender my parliamentary pass and forgo all access and voting rights for the duration of my employment at Palantir. I do not, therefore, take any whip.
I fear this makes me rather less useful to the whips’ office than you imply.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1
It takes a live streamed genocide to flush out flakes, fakes and assholes. No political party apart from @TheGreenParty speaking up for Palestinians - not even a human rights activist has balls to fight to the Zionists. How pathetic you are @PeterTatchell
.@TheGreenParty is back down to 8%, which is where it was when @ZackPolanski became leader
Partly due to ‘Burnham bounce’ but also because obsessing over Zionism isn’t very popular. Best to focus on practical policies to aid Palestinians, rather than ‘political purity’ votes

The BBC have not reported this from Bell's Report.
Please RT this until they do inform the public of this.
"Anti-Jewish attitudes are typically less prevalent and have remained more stable, whereas anti-Israel sentiments are more prevalent and have been increasing'
Thank you.

Funny how The Mail On Sunday don’t quote my official response but only from my liable letter.
My official statement: Zionism will join apartheid and Jim Crow in the ugly dustbin of history, and no amount of crocodile tears will change that.

Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

This isn't over. One day, there will be an inquiry into Britain's complicity in genocide - and we will remember those who tried to get in the way of the truth.
