It has not been an honour or a privilege to have you as our MP @Keir_Starmer. You have given us authoritarianism, a cost of living crisis, support for genocide, corrosion of our democracy & civil liberties & extreme mendacity. We knew this would happen which is why you lost half your votes in the last election. It would have been great to have an opportunity to defeat you & everything you stand for

I see Angela Eagle was chairing Labour conference this morning. Eagle has been MP for Wallasey since 1992, and for anyone who doesn't know the history, this is a thread on how she was selected for that seat all those years ago (1/9)

AMAZING MOMENT
A woman came back still wearing a custody tshirt having been released for a terrorism arrest.
While being arrested for declaring support for Palestine Action a second time, another woman came back to do the same.
The opposition to this ban cannot be contained.

A complaint against the failure of the BBC to disclose 'Lord' Walney's ties to the Israel lobby, when he was broadcast criticising Palestine Action, was upheld.
They said his ties to the arms industry and pro-Israel lobby groups should have been disclosed

Spraying red paint on a bank. That's what the CPS wants sentenced as terrorism; for an action from August 2024, before Palestine Action was even proscribed. You might not care about Palestine. But this is dystopian as hell. Literally the stuff of authoritarian dictatorships.

One way to do a massacre of a people is to do it slowly, one day at a time, so it doesn’t hit the headlines, doesn’t shock the world, doesn’t force other countries to do any thing and just feeds denials. What massacre? There’s no massacre here, they can say.

A large majority of the UK population do not want RAF bases used to bomb Iran.
That large majority are almost unrepresented in parliament and the media.
"Western democracy" is a sham.

BREAKING: Israeli invaders are entering civilian homes across South Lebanon, rigging them with explosives — then blowing them up.
Not military targets. Homes.
This is happening every single day during a so-called “ceasefire.”
No justification. Just pure terrorism.

for the first time he talks about his approach to security and why he credits his phone on @GrapheneOS for protecting his sources

🚨🇳🇱 The #HindRajabFoundation has filed a criminal complaint in the Netherlands against Almog Harari, an Israeli soldier serving in the 432nd Battalion of the Givati Brigade, for his alleged involvement in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

By using the term hard working families instead of the working class, Labour is using sophism to hide the fact they're giving up on those too young, old, or infirm to work.
They think of you as expendable economic units.

Imagine death penalty for Christians only, for Jews only, for Bavarians or Parisians only. People belonging to a group presumed guilty and deprived of civilians status.
Only because they want to live as a people. Free on their land.
This is what colonial repression looks like.
This racist Israeli law should be renamed 'Death Penalty for Palestinians Only'
"The new capital offence regime has been set up by the DPT Law so that it will, in effect, only apply to Palestinians, and not apply to Jewish Israelis. As such, it involves unlawful racial discrimination"

Israeli citizens set up outdoor screens to broadcast and cheer for the destruction of Lebanese towns heavily damaged by the IDF
They are not soldiers or officials—they are civilians gathering to watch and celebrate destruction and death nitter.cf/Parodyjeffx/status/206…

A terrible disappointment who not only failed on the greatest moral issue of our day but actively collaborated with and assisted an entire government of genocidal maniacs

So the UK now has a Chancellor obsessed with spending money on bombs and missiles and feeding the military industrial complex.
Anybody expecting living standards to rise for ordinary people is a fool.

Thatcher’s privatisation experiment sold off Britain’s strategic national assets, many ending up in foreign ownership.
Instead of creating national wealth, it enabled private monopolies to extract it. Consumers have faced ever-rising bills while infrastructure has been allowed to decay, as shareholder returns and executive bonuses too often took precedence over long-term investment.
Essential national services should serve the public interests, not financial markets.
"Anglian Water boss’s £1.3m salary top-up meets ‘furious’ response."
So what do you do with the failed former CEO of HS2?
Obvious, you make him CEO of Anglian Water and pay him £1.3 million, that's what.
