Ex Labour. Join a “militant trade union”. Will Burnham be any different to Starmer? It appears not.

Liverpool, England
Looking forward to the serious, bona fide by-election in Clacton when Farage is found to be a crook.

🚨 NEW: Zack Polanski has broken his silence on the “Zionism is racism” Green Party motion “Antisemitism and criticism of the Israeli state are, and must always be, completely distinct – blurring the line between the two is not only wrong but antisemitic, and makes Jewish people less safe. It’s our role as a movement for justice to protect both the rights of Palestinians and our Jewish communities here in the UK. As leader I will not accept any exclusion, or refusal to engage with anyone, because of the religious or communal body they are part of. “I take seriously my responsibility to make sure everyone feels safe and welcome in our party. Under my leadership, no-one will be made unwelcome because of their background, their faith, or where they worship. As leader, my role is to bring people together and ensure we are all working in unity for the things we believe in and care about: freedom and safety for all. “I am proud of our party’s principled position on fighting for freedom and justice for Palestinians.  “In the UK and across the world people have been horrified by the atrocities carried out by the Israeli government in Gaza - with a classroom of children being killed every day. “Through the Green Party’s unified stance and dedicated pressure, we have begun to shift this government away from its complicity with the Israeli government’s atrocities in Gaza, with the Foreign Secretary now taking the long overdue step of ending trade with illegal settlements. 
 
“When I was elected leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, I was so proud to stand as a Jewish party leader, side by side with my deputy leaders Mothin and Rachel. Together, we exemplify everything this party stands for: we come from different backgrounds, faiths and traditions, but we share our deeply held values of compassion, fairness and equality for all”

Surely it is time for the authorities to take this Fairford terrorism case out of the hands of the police & pass it over to Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Isabel Oakeshott etc. These people have the expertise & skills to have this all solved & explained to the public by tonight.👍

A sad, lonely woman jilted by her brash lover is left to wile away the empty hours in an isolated flat in Dubai. After consuming yet another vodka her mind wanders & she types out far fetched fantasies desperately seeking attention & solace. Please could someone call a doctor.😬

Andy Burnham's Speech summed up. Promised action on Leaseholds, this has been going on forever and action has been promised forever. Nothing will change. Talked about Public ownership of Water, even though he has already ruled it out. More empty words. Will cut Triple Lock in 2030 (probably the only thing that will ACTUALLY happen) and then start a National Care Service. Problem is he won't be PM in 2030, so the Triple Lock cut will happen because they ALL want it, but the National Care Service... nope.

I hope that someone is writing a screenplay of the RAF Fairford story, because I am already looking forward to watching it...

Give it a rest with your faux outrage. Ash Sarkar is right.
Here Ash Sarkar talks about “small penis” behaviour in response to the migrant protestors. Imagine someone spoke about female genitalia like this. It’s disgusting.

A Guardian headline proclaims 'everyone knows we should break the pensions triple lock'. Given that it's the worst state pension in Europe, there's actually a case for doubling it.

Boris Johnson stuffed the BBC full of Tory placemen, some of whom facilitated six-figures personal loans to support his lifestyle. Now Kemi Badenoch is having a hissy fit because a trade unionist has been given a symbolic place on the Bank of England board.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

The media euphemism that Keir Starmer has ‘vacated his seat’ is an utter travesty. Almost as if he accidentally wafted away on a gust of wind. Be honest. He u-turned on his promise to stay as an MP, deserted his constituents and his party - for what? To go and make money on the international circuit. The only thing forensic about him is the chalk outline he has left behind instead of a meaningful legacy. A fitting epitaph to the worst PM in our movements history. Believe me, it’s not personal in anyway. I wish him well. But we cannot allow the media and others to sugarcoat just how bad his govt was, by the standards OUR movement expects. We must have an honest analysis of it it. About the toxic culture it fostered, the behaviour it condoned. One that enabled a small clique to bring back Peter Mandelson into the heart of govt. To expel thousands of members for no reason. To clamp down on the right to protest. To allow a genocide to unfold and do next to nothing about it. If we don’t ask ourselves how this happened and why, if we don’t interrogate this sorry chapter - then we are doomed to repeat it. So no, let’s not sugarcoat his legacy.

First it was a hoax Then entrapment Then just ‘contractors’ mouthing off Now: ‘I wasn’t listening’ He was there. He was on camera. He was part of the conversation. He knew
We’re back! #bbclaurak Farage tells me he ‘frankly wasn’t listening’ when his former chief of staff and undercover reporters were discussing donations of thousands of pounds
