He is a Holocaust survivor. His name is Stephen Kapos. And he has more humanity in the tip of his little finger than you and your fellow apologists for genocide have combined. https://t.co/iRYPrPw7N8

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza. He has assembled a Board of Occupation. The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu. That is up to the Palestinian people.

Conflating Antisemitism with criticism of the Israeli government is dangerous. The Board of Deputies keep muddying the waters. This isn’t about him being Jewish - it’s about his position as Vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

In October 2023, Keir Starmer said Israel had the “right” to cut off water and electricity to Gaza — then his Labour government went on to sell Israel more weapons than the Tories ever did. This is a Labour government that denies genocide, bans a non-violent direct action group

people complained eddington was too on the nose for a modern political satire, but in the space of a few months since its release it's crazy how relevant its storyline has become that and one battle after another might be the defining cultural touchstones of trump 2.0 already

Wow. This article is a definitive example of that definition of journalism: "If someone says it's raining, and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true."

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

Do we stand for international law and national sovereignty, or not? Attacking a sovereign nation, the capture of Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife, and their imprisonment in the US is a violation of international law. International law is not optional, and we must defend

Keir Starmer knows the facts: the US has brazenly broken international law by attacking Venezuela. He won't say so, because he's halfway up Donald Trump's arse.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap the foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it.

Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — and that’s no coincidence. This is naked U.S. imperialism: an illegal assault on Caracas aimed at overthrowing a sovereign government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labour government must condemn this unequivocally.
