I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

Just interviewed Labour MP Clive Lewis and he doesn’t hold back. Says Keir Starmer is an ‘interim Prime Minister’ who ‘will not be here for very long’ and ‘doesn’t deserve to be here for much longer.’ Says Labour sounds like a ‘pound shop Reform’ and has burned its base.

.@ZackPolanski: "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Good morning. If you've just woken up, the politics of hope (@GreenPartyHan) just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform). It wasn't even close. 40.6% for the Greens. Reform second on 28.7%, Labour third on 25.4%.

Full victory speech of The Green Party's Hannah Spencer who wins the Gorton and Denton by Election: 14,980 - Greens 10,578 - Reform UK 9,364 - Labour "Okay. with me because this is a lot" "I didn't grow up wanting to be a politician. I'm a plumber" "And two weeks ago,

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population. The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined. Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.

Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to middle school together and grew up on the same Eastern District council estate in Northampton. I asked him why he was there. He gave me two answers:

The 'revelations' about Peter Mandelson this week were nothing new – they just added colour and depth to what was already known about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. So why did Keir Starmer think he was an appropriate pick for ambassador in the first place?

🙌🏼 Yeah Maybe "Polanski Bounce" is actually now a thing? Time for a Tiktok dance? From London to Llandudno! Lower bills. Nationalise water companies. Fund public services. https://t.co/0qbagSwgNX

Zack Polanski got around 6 times the vote of Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay. That's some mandate from the membership.

Woaaaaaaah, a massive landslide for @ZackPolanski. A very straightforward message: Green Party members want an unapologetically radical agenda - which redirects anger at the right targets, and offers hope in an alternative.

As a tribute to the six Al Jazeera journalists killed in Gaza, here's the poem I wrote a few months ago:

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives. Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips. And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion. Next question.

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip. It is not a threat. It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

Over 100 BBC staff have signed a letter criticising the board’s choice not to air the Gaza medics film. In my latest @guardian piece, I talk about the BBC’s cowardice over #Gaza, and what it was like to spearhead staff organising while I was a journalist there.

Don't you just love it when you find an extra £80,000,000,000 to spend on war after you've been cutting welfare and public services to the bone because 'there is no magic money tree'

.@ZoeJardiniere lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning @Pal_action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

You can repair a plane. You can replace a broken window. But you can’t bring back the dead. We must defend the right to protest. Solidarity with Palestine Action 🇵🇸

Ever wonder why Starmer/Lammy won’t admit Israel’s crimes? Because once the genocide is formally recognised by ICJ, British officials who aided it will face prosecution under the Genocide Act (1969). They're delaying. But they can't stop it. Prosecutions are coming.

The Times has published an article urging war on Iran which is co-authored by someone who is wanted by the ICC for war crimes. A new low for the British media.
