I'm a white, middle class non-muslim voter. I was a member, Cllr, voter & activist for @UKLabour for over 50 years. I know scores of others like me. We will NEVER vote Labour again whilst it's controlled by Starmer and his Zionist, genocide-excusing friends.
KEIR STARMER: Admits by defending Israel's genocide in Gaza, Labour lost many Council seats. Promises to 'earn them back'! #LocalElections

🚨Sheffield Labour capitulates. Greens didn’t give an inch. This is how you do it.
BREAKING: Labour leader Fran Belbin has announced that the party *will not* be proposing to run Sheffield council as a minority administration at today’s full council meeting. This is after last minute talks today aimed at finding common ground between Labour and the Greens.

I agree entirely. There are ample provisions within existing legislation to punish those who break the law without proscribing this organisation.
Proscribing Palestine Action was a dreadful mistake. It has wasted police time, energy, opportunities and taxpayers' money. Not to mention all the innocent peaceful protesters who have experienced unpleasant treatment by the police. Time to unproscribe PalAct @andyburnham

If people cannot meet their most basic survival needs, they will expend all of their energy trying to survive, not looking for work. We know from history that punishing poor people doesn't help, it simply destroys lives. #MaslowsHierarchyofNeeds

Congratulations, Abdul El-Sayed. You beat Trump’s racism to become the first Muslim US senator. You exposed the donors. You prescribed the cure: Medicare for All. And you named Israel’s genocide. Michigan gave you over 2.4 million votes. The truth won. So did hope.

You’re literally providing US bombers with access to UK bases. You didn’t have to approve this and you could end your complicity today. But you won’t, because you’re too busy licking the boot of Donald Trump. Stop gaslighting the nation. Get US troops off UK soil NOW!
🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says the Democratic landslide in the US midterms means the world now has an opportunity to end the Iran war “That’s what the voters, in my view, are saying in the United States”

I’m Jewish. I’m proud. And I have been working my ass off as the Co-Executive Director of Fighting for Michigan PAC, the IE for @abdulelsayed that beat back over $45M in AIPAC spending. That’s it. I’m in awe of my friend Abdul, and I’m so, so hopeful about our future.

King Charles alleged male lover. The biggest connection to the King Charles scandal and how this man Michael Fawcett is connected and involved in the most horrible things concerning the King is the Paul Burrell trial. When Paul Burrell was refusing to give up certain Princess Diana possessions and was found out that he stole things from her, her family sued him. Just before the trial started he published a public letter towards the Queen telling the whole world that if he goes to trial he will have to tell EVERYONE Everything, suddenly a day after, the Queen intervened remembering that Burrell told her he will take Diana's things for safekeeping and she said yes. And the trial collapsed. It was very very clear Burrell was referring to Princess Dianas recordings and tapes and Fawcett. For years it has been said Charles and Fawcett are lovers and servants caught them having sex, Fawcett treaties the Prince as his partner and one servant was recommended by princess Diana having seen Fawcett giving Charles a blow job. All these stories are very very well known. The palace and the press buried them. They made sure to give Prince Harry to the wolves so nobody will be talking about all this.

In the 2026 US midterms supporting Israel cost more votes than it won. Exit polls: 50% of voters said US support for Israel is too strong. 13% said too weak. 78% of that 50% voted Democrat. Backing Israel is a vote loser in America. Even Trump has noticed.

Labour are trying to bully everyone into defending Genocide. They made a phony apology, continue to sell arms licences to Israel and whip their MPs to defend it at all costs. We will not cower. We will not be bullied from speaking the truth. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Watch our full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=w0G4LO3_… The UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, has singled out the BBC as one of the worst offenders in terms of propagating Israeli narratives, and not allowing Palestinian guests to talk about the suffering of their people. Albanese told us that the BBC and UK government are wrong to claim that we have to wait for the ICJ ruling to determine whether Israel has committed genocide - and that Britain has a duty to prevent genocide.

Did she fall or was she pushed? She'd just been deselected by her local party This 'journalist' didn't bother telling us that. Didn't want to spoil his narrative
A Green Party councillor in Leicester has defected to Labour - saying she no longer recognises the party under Zack Polanski. Liz Sahu, who represents Castle ward, says the Greens adopting a “Zionism is Racism” motion was the “final straw”.
