There's been a flurry of articles claiming "Organic food benefits are a myth". And the news outlets have all chosen to bolster the narrative with sensational headlines despite lacking in substance and coherence. I'm challenging this view. #organic

Classic Blair. He is now proposing himself as the Empire's Regent of Gaza. A war criminal himself, he demands a five year appointment to run the site of Israel's genocide on behalf of Donald Trump in the finest tradition of White Settler Colonial projects

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza. It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

The Labour Party are bought and paid for. Lobbying, cash for access, vested interests. This is who they are. It doesn't have to be this way.

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%. Zero point three per cent. The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%. Thirty seven point seven per cent. In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.

Israel did not attack Iran because Iran was about to attack Israel. Israel attacked Iran because there was about to be peace.

@iamyesyouareno What's "hilariously ridiculous" is your refusal to understand the difference between nationality and ethnicity. Going to the lengths of mocking up a picture of an air crash survivour to demonstrate your ignorance is a shameful new low. Google Mike Havenaar - if he'd been the

Immediately after the UK sanctions two Israeli ministers, @Keir_Starmer sends warplanes to support that same regime, whose PM is wanted for crimes against humanity, immediately after that same PM tries to start a war in the Middle East.

This morning #TrevorPhilips interviewed the Israeli president for over 15 minutes & Phillips didnt say the words 'Palestinian' or 'Gaza' once. In a subsequent interview @hzomlot rightly pointed out that Phillips ignored the heart of the matter in that interview. Phillips grinned

There’s no place for Islamophobia and racism in our society. Today I've written to the Equalities Minister calling for urgent action to act on the riots and to introduce the much delayed advisor on Islamophobia.

🧵🚨1/ It's insane that @Elonmusk replied to @europeinvasionn's tweet about UK riots. The account EuropeInvasionn, as I have stated many times now, is an influence operation. It's a hijacked X account that exclusively deals in anti-migrant & anti-Muslim great replacement disinfo

Captain of the shithouse stirring for eyeballs. This is why there should be a law preventing co trolling ownership of media platforms by those with money. They are spreading misinformation at will with no impunity.
@Keir_Starmer Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?
