It’s deeply alarming to hear of the attack on Manchesters synagogue. My thoughts and prayers are with those injured and their families and the Jewish community impacted by this horror

@shabnabegum .@Amna4A of @THijabis: rampant Islamophobia is being used by several political parties and we must name it as such. Islamophobia and racism exist in movements on the left too, and we need to question & challenge it. Hope is in how we organise locally & build connections.

While the world’s attention turns away, Israel’s genocide in #Gaza continues. Earlier today, Israel carpet bombed Shati refugee camp, killing dozens Palestinian civilians, including many children. These cowardly attacks against innocent people sheltering in tents must stop.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy must speak and condemn this interception. All humanitarian aid must be able to reach people desperately in need. The UK govt have been active participants in the genocide. The eyes of the world must be on Gaza. Release the Madleen crew.
While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable. #BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

BREAKING 1AM UK time. Israeli speedboat reached Madleen. "At the time the boat was intercepted no one is wounded" the captain asked me to record. I heard the soldiers speaking while the captain was on the phone with me. I lost connection with the captain as he was telling me that
12.40am UK time - The drones are pouring white paint on the boat. 12.51 UK time - The flotilla people remain in good spirit but they stay under cover because of the two quadcopters flying over them. These machines are made to kill, not just to surveil.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

‘What I didn’t appreciate was that once elected, the Starmer government wouldn’t just be an administration of timid reform, but would rapidly instigate a series of policies that drove a knife into the heart of what I believed Labour stood for when I joined the party.’
Starmer and co are trashing Labour’s legacy. We must take back control of our party – before it’s too late

The UKs complicity in Israel’s genocide will not be forgotten. Too little, too late from Starmers horrific leadership. No humanity, backbone or actual values. It’s beyond disgraceful.
It is outrageous and morally reprehensible that it took the world nearly 80 days of broadcast starvation and cruelty amidst genocide to exert enough pressure on Israel to even slightly ease its total siege that has blocked the entry of all food, medicine, fuel and other vital

Yesterday, the UK, France and Canada apparently woke-up to the idea that Palestinians in Gaza may be victims of a genocide. But they knew. Israel knew. We all knew. 16 months ago. Because the International Court of Justice told us so:

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

We need to be honest about the human cost of this policy. More ambulances stuck outside A&Es. More patients dying in hospital corridors. More suffering. More patient harm. Because Starmer has chosen to prioritise cheap headlines above improving society. Way to go, Labour.
Today's performative clampdown on migrants will gut our care homes of desperately needed staff. We're *already* short of over 150k carers. Banning foreign care workers will increasing the suffering of society's most vulnerable members & pressures on the NHS. Sheer madness.

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you. You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.
Why trying to out-Farage Farage is just never going to work for Labour. The most hardline, anti-migrant set of policies from any UK Government in recent years and the Daily Mail still portrays it as a betrayal

This government is complicit in aiding the genocide and war crimes that all of us have been witnessing Israel commit on Palestinian civilian’s. No one can say they didn’t know. YOU know. And if you don’t care, then I’d seriously question your humanity.
