@Keir_Starmer Those funding and facilitating a genocide lose any rights to criticise it's victims. Start representing human rights and international law, then you can comment on the niceties of Palestinian resistance.

We don’t want financial donations, we don’t want alternative funding streams, we don’t want charity and we don’t want volunteers doing work that should be done by Library Workers. Libraries are a statutory service and should be properly funded. #savelibraries

@VintageVault8 I thought this was a comedian calling out Israelis initially - the fact they think this is positive propaganda is hilarious 😂

@DavidLammy This is a disgusting response - Israel are entirely responsible for this attack on a civilian target at a time when they knew people would be praying and close together. Shame on you for attempting to justify ongoing support for Israel.

Don't call them Farage Riots. It makes him really upset.

@Taj_Ali1 This is a really valid point. I canvassed in Selly Oak for Kamel Hawwash and I think all volunteers were ex Labour members, local party members, past canvassers. It isn't just about lost votes

#GE2024 voters in #SellyOak - the Labour candidate who was parachuted into the area has openly admitted to being a Tory voter. So that's what Starmer thinks our area needs - a Tory (with zero connection to the area) being gifted a safe seat. Vote @kamelhawwash instead 🎉

I'm just back from canvassing for @kamelhawwash in #SellyOak in advance of #GE2024 (we got gifted roses from a resident's garden). It's been really interesting to visit different parts of my local area, and to see the different responses of voters across the constituency.

It's a really unfortunate coincidence for Keir Starmer this keeps happening, isn't it? In the Batley and Spen by-election, Labour officials brief that Muslim voters are disillusioned with the party because of homophobia and antisemitism. Muslim councillors resign over Gaza, his stooges boast Labour is "shaking off the fleas". White allies make antisemitic comments, no action, while Diane Abbott is publicly humiliated. Kate Osamor, one of the only other Black female MPs, is suspended because she described Israel's genocide as a "genocide". Black Labour MPs brief Channel 4 News that they're too scared to talk about anti-Black racism in Labour because the leadership might purge them. Labour hires Martin Forde QC, one of the country's most senior Black barristers, to do a report which uncovers a hierarchy of racism. They fail to adequately respond to his recommendations, then when he speaks out, send him a menacing letter ordering him to be quiet. Faiza Shaheen, a hugely talented Muslim woman of colour who became a celebrated academic, is purged as a candidate for her home constituency, publicly humiliated in the Murdoch press, with Labour citing her criticising Islamophobia in the party as one of the reasons for purging her. Apsana Begum, another Muslim Labour MP, is abandoned by the party leadership after suffering domestic violence and pursued for nakedly factional reasons. We could go on, but - for some reason?! - Keir Starmer has the worst personal ratings of any Labour leader of the opposition amongst minority Britons since those records began in 1996. He went into this election with ratings more than 50 points lower among minority Britons than Tony Blair on the eve of the other Labour landslide in 1997. And now they treat a charismatic Black candidate making waves taking on the racist Right in the UK. This record is awful. Absolutely awful. And our institutionally racist media has ignored it. Well, let's see how this all goes when they're actually in power, shall we.

This is insane. Absolutely insane. "Jovan was told [by an official] to never come back to Clacton, and yesterday, was instructed to move to the West Midlands region." Labour ordered its Clacton candidate go into exile because he was making Starmer's team jealous.

Over 40 years ago, Edward Said sat down with a group of Palestinian women and in two minutes they laid out what is still the current situation - 🎥: excerpt from edward said’s ‘the shadow of the west’ (1983)
