Starmer’s ‘threat’ to recognise the state of Palestine; ‘influencers’ in Downing Street & everywhere else; the value of a degree… tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

James. Starmer and No 10 are in desperate need of a director of communications. Any ideas?

Palestine have always had their own country. Why should it be taken away? Another way of wiping off the map those who Israel dislike. A kind of genocide in my book!

I think the UK needs to get with the EU and decide to sanction Israel and America for arming them until America starts suffering ringing in Israel. This will not end I'm afraid, but who out of the world leaders got the gutters to stand up to trump and tell him stopped funding this genocide

Just catching up on this morning's prog. Re Martin Lewis being at the vanguard of influencers, he started at the BBC and went through a few radio/telly incarnations before founding the MSE website in 2003.

Judging by the Wikipedia timeline, he was in traditional media for 4-5 years before the interweb stuff.

I can’t think of any prominent politician or party here who would stand up to Trump & Netanyahu right now however necessary it is. We are a tiny speck on the globe with little ability to voice our opinions. As for supporting Hamas terrorists, in the eyes of humanity Israel are now the terrorists.

Britain supplies arms to Israel . Every single person there should be contacting their politicians to call a halt to the man made famine , the ceaseless bombing and the shooting of children and women looking for food . Ireland recognises Palestine , every voice counts .

I agree with the sentiment entirely. But the UK does NOT sell arms to Israel. It sells parts used to maintain aircraft.. Yes, not good, but let's keep it honest otherwise we undermine our argument.. You say they sell arms.. they say they don't.. they are correct. We lose the argument.

You’re talking to either a labour propaganda account or a bot. They’re quite easy to spot. They defend Starmer and this disgusting right wing labour account to no end. It’s very sad.

Should Starmer be arrested for sharing sane views of Palestine Action- a banned “terrorist group”?

sorry for my language james. But i cant contain it any longer. He has sat watching this unfold and done NOTHING. He should grow a pair or resign and hand the job to someone who will do something. I thought he was a better man than he is!

Yeah, Starmer found his conscience and announced ‘Now is the time’ (!) to announce that maybe he will do something about starving kids…in September! Or maybe not….. But ‘Now is the time!’🙄

Why don't they recognize Palestine now? Why does it have to be a threat? I haven't heard the show yet....sorry if my question's already answered.

Starmer, Lammy, Cooper etc., all believe in a 'two state solution', but don't even recognise one of the states. This fact alone shows how ridiculously biased and immoral their position is.

Israel was created by the stroke of a pen in 1948 after the assassination of Count Bernadotte. It is an apartheid theocracy. No more pseudo-states. One State. UN Protectorate. Trillions compensation to the descendants of the ethnical cleansing of the Naqba. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Statehood is dependent on to what extent a third party reduces the amount of genocide it inflicts on you in the coming weeks. Bizarre
