Starmer is dead man walking, having made all the wrong moral choices - from bashing the weak to enabling genocide. If Labour MPs don't get rid of him fast, they risk plunging the UK into Reform fascism, complete with all the horrors now playing out under Farage's hero Trump in the US
Designating Palestine Action as terrorists for opposing genocide is Labour's version of the Tories designating Rwanda a safe country for deportation. A law cannot be respected if it is not grounded in truth, justice and decency. As St Augustine said, lex inusta non est lex (an unjust law is no law)
Perhaps the BBC's platforming of Farage and his fascism is because, the Tories having been written off, the establishment fears a post-Starmer centre-left that might well: - undo Brexit (threatening tax havens) - tax wealth properly to help the vulnerable - sanction Israel for its genocide
There seems to be a preponderance of pro-Israeli posters saying things like "There's no Palestine" in attempting to defend, deflect or deny Israel's genocide of Palestinians. If there were no state of Israel, as there wasn't pre-1948, would that equally justify or negate the Nazis' genocide of Jews?
Can it be that the president of what was once considered the world's leading liberal democracy is someone who is strongly suspected of having raped a thirteen year old child? Asking for the rest of humanity
The only way Trump - like Putin, Netanyahu, Erdoğan - can escape reckoning for his egregious crimes is to cling to power indefinitely by any means, entailing total subversion of all democratic and constitutional norms. Has this fully dawned on the US public yet?
Enable us to treat others as fairly and forgivingly as we would wish to be treated ourselves. And lead us not into selfishness or bigotry, but deliver us from evil and hatred. For you are our guidance, inspiration and resolve, for all time.
Our guiding spirit, wherever you reside, whatever we call you. May you fortify to us. May you help us act wisely in all circumstances. Give us the ability to achieve a decent life for ourselves and others. /ctd
UK needs migrants more than it needs racists
Wait, so what he's saying is when demand goes up.... you just increase supply...? My god, it's a radical plan... but it might just work! Why has no one thought of THAT before?!I Between the Greens and Lib Dems more vocal approach we might just get back to normality 👍
Even if he doesn't achieve electoral success, he's already successful in being one of the few political voices challenging the anti-migrant rhetoric.
Amen to this, without immigration, this place would grind to a halt. It's nice to see a positive case being made, let alone somebody other than Farage being platformed. I do however, wish that Labour would adopt language that is supportive of immigration, rather than ape Reform UK, but here we are.
He’s right, of course. It’s staggering that while all politicians must know this, many of them are peddling misinformation and stoking division for their own political ends.

"Spain’s economy is outpacing its European neighbours, with GDP expected to grow by 2.5% this year, far surpassing the economies of Italy, France and Germany, which are poised to expand 0.7%, 0.6% & 0% respectively." via @spottednewsoff.bsky.social
The No State Solution enforced by Israel with US, German & UK arms "The US State Department has instructed its diplomats to refuse most non-immigrant visas for individuals holding a Palestinian Authority passport, effectively implements a travel ban on many of Palestinians." via Roya News English
Where is the CofE & Catholic outrage ... "This move cripples the church’s ability to serve its people, maintain its holy sites, and threatens the Christian presence in the Holy Land. Israel hides behind 'tax disputes;, but this is part of decades of attacks on Palestinian institutions."
"The narrative around October 7 often overlooks the deep-rooted history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. This timeline reveals key events dating back to 1897, when the First Zionist Congress was held, through the Nakba in 1948, and decades of subsequent violence." youtu.be/LzOQ-vhF7Hg?...

I don't think that the UK can reform an international law unilaterally Nick. Perhaps you can explain how you think that can work? #r4today
Zohran, so sorry you have to deal with ignorant racist assholes like these. You will have the winning point when you become NYC mayor and achieve the promises you made. Stay safe!

Did you that Nigel Farage is paid £££££ helping migrants cross borders ... but they have to be super-rich migrants trying to avoid paying tax youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?... @ledbydonkeys.org
Yes I agree.
Imagine being alive on this beautiful planet..You're not starving..you are not being exterminated or blown up simply because rich, white men want what you have..and THIS is how you chose to spend those moments of a peace many can't even imagine let alone experience. Hate has destroyed humanity.
My experience with Palestinian people has been that of kindness, tolerance, and patience, as well. I am ashamed for the person posting this, since they have - none.
It breaks my heart to see faith mocked for cruelty’s sake. I’m Indigenous and my best friend since childhood is a Muslim from Palestine. Her family fed me with love, even during Ramadan when they couldn’t eat yet cause the sun was still up. That’s my experience of Muslim people, kindness & love.
It's not just a matter of coming between refugees and their children, it's refusing to admit that the family of a refugee escaping persecution and given leave to remain in this country are not also suffering persecution. #r4today

RIGHT NOW: We’re blocking roads and protesting in another massive day of disruption across Israel! We’re here, Jews and Palestinians, demanding an end to the catastrophe in Gaza. No routine with famine and occupation – and with hostages dying in captivity!
The horrors our government is creating in Gaza cannot continue! We refuse this reality of death and destruction — there is another way, one that is in the interest of everyone, Israelis and Palestinians. Stop the bloodshed now!
Not a mistake. Not a “tragic mishap.” This is a policy of destruction and annihilation of Palestinian life across the Gaza Strip that’s been happening for almost two years now. END THE HORRORS NOW.
NOW: Over 100,000 people on the streets of Tel Aviv after a day of disruption! NO to the killing, NO to the abandonment. Right now all of us must act with all our strength against the extremists who want us to despair and to think they can’t be stopped. We won’t back down!
Earlier that afternoon, the army carried out a raid in Ramallah, firing stun grenades into a store and running people over. Several Palestinians were wounded and arrested. Just another few days under occupation in the West Bank. (2/2)
Listen to our National Co-director Alon-Lee Green speak on Sky News about how the genocidal war in Gaza isn’t being fought for anyone’s safety and why Israeli politicians constantly ignore diplomacy.
German coverage in Zenith magazine of our disruption actions (including interrupting the Big Brother Israel broadcast) with Standing Together Student Organizer Eliah Levine! Read it here 👇 magazin.zenith.me/de/gesellsch...
We just spilled buckets of red paint in front of the home of the Israeli army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir! We are calling on Zamir to refuse the orders of Netanyahu’s extremist government and bring this genocidal war to an end once and for all!
We refuse our government’s genocidal war! We refuse the continued starvation of Palestinians! We spilled red paint in front of the home of army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to demand that he refuse to carry out orders to occupy Gaza.
Brilliant piece by Asaf Yakir, a researcher, a member of the #StandingTogether movement @standing-together.bsky.social "How War Became Israel’s New Normal" jacobin.com/2025/08/war-...
The only way to end the war on Gaza and bring back the hostages is if every single person in our society refuses to lend a hand to this extremist government, and joins the fight to force our government to make a deal and bring the horrors to an end.
On Thursday we went to Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israeli army’s house, poured red paint on the street and demonstrated — calling on Zamir to refuse Netanyahu’s illegal orders, refuse to occupy Gaza, and push for a ceasefire & hostage deal to end the killing and destruction.
I admire your courage
All eight activists arrested at Thursday’s demonstration have been released to house arrest. We are continuing to disrupt, resist, and demonstrate against this genocidal war and abandonment of the hostages! We will not stop until we bring it to an end!
When masses of people come together, we are capable of meaningful disruption that pushes everyday people in our society to act, and this gives us the power to actually shift the status quo. (3/3)
This convoy and the demonstrations that followed in each city prove that when we organize—when masses come together as a united front—we have a voice. (2/3)
Nobody is coming to save us from this reality – nobody is coming from the outside and forcing it to end. That’s why it’s on us, the people on the ground, to force our government to stop the killing. (3/3)
At least 88 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours alone by the Israeli military in Gaza, from the bombing of a bakery, to shootings at Palestinians waiting for aid, to strikes on their residential tents and shelters – and the slow death of hunger. (2/3)
Just read their words. These are the voices of Palestinians in Gaza, describing in real time the horror of living under Israeli military’s bombs. (1/3)

YES! Thank you... Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". - seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.
Asylum seekers often have complex legal cases and a need to make backup copies. Indeed, many get seriously penalized for not having a sheet of paper. Banning them from photocopying seems necessarily cruel and pointless
Julian Leeser and co should apologise to Australians for tarring them with accusations that turn out to be unfounded, that were always unfounded. Rather than blaming the Albanese govt, what has the Netanyahu govt done to exacerbate antisemitism? #insiders

You’re not special because you happen to be white. You don’t deserve anything more than anyone else because of that. You aren’t special.
Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course
Depending on the law of course. It seems that the UK regards protests against Genocide as criminal.

Only a full deal to stop the annihilation across the Strip and return the hostages can bring us out of the nightmare we have been living in for almost two years now. Our government is refusing every deal – we cannot tolerate this! We must end these horrors now. (3/3)
Their return is closure for their loved ones after unbearable months of uncertainty, and all 48 hostages who remain must be freed immediately through a complete ceasefire that ends the catastrophe in Gaza. (2/3)
Yes I agree all the hostages must be freed and there should be a ceasefire.
We share in the deep relief and the grief of family and friends of two hostages, Ilan Weiss and Idan Shtivi, whose bodies were returned to Israel over the weekend. Both Ilan and Idan were murdered in Hamas’ attack on October 7 – now finally they can be buried and mourned at home. (1/3)
So sad, so terrible.

Wow, yeah bluesky isn’t for lies & propaganda British men have harmed me not refugees, so are all British men harmful then? So triggered over us having compassion for human beings who are worth exactly the same as you It’s like you forget they’re human, it’s ugly af. Do better
I can’t seem to sign it I don’t know why
Just passed 11 thousand so the government must respond. I'd like to see it pass 100 thousand so it has to be considered for debate in parliament.
We’re going up at a rate of 700 signatures an hour currently. In the time it took me to boil the kettle it went up by 50. Keep the message in minds folks. Fair coverage is what we want so we hear from ALL parties not just the narrative of one. Sign and pass on petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
Since most rapes occur with men who women know on your logic all men should be deported, that would keep all women safe wouldn’t it? I think that all rape is wrong whoever the perpetrator is and whatever skin colour or ethnicity.
How sad that you can only be abusive and not use reasoned argument.
You’re manipulated & brainwashed by Farage, tel aviv tommy etc it’s really sad My grandad fought people like these rancid, racist, violent reformers screaming abuse at hotels, in WWII Astounds me you were apparently a British soldier 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ you’d think you’d be aware of fcking history
It is beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us.
