Been reflecting a lot this week on the important steps being made, however slow and overdue they are, of the continued attempts to suppress those standing up for justice- see Macklemore- and the space and platforms still given to the racist bleatings of those like Levy who , in any decent society or age would be confined to the margins of discourse. This is of course the most documented genocide in history and sometimes the detail of barbarous acts is to much to compute. But certain facts break through and resonate across history because they speak to the fundamental underpinning truth. A people has been allowed to treat another people as less than human. So consider tbe testimony of Dr Nick Barnard , verified by around 20 colleagues and confirmed by the UN Special commision of enquiry. IDF soldiers used Palestinian children for target practice. One day they shot children in the neck. The next in the abdomen. One day, just boys, all in the testicles. Children. Shot. For fun. Think about that. Then decide which side of history you stand on.
After Hamas publicly thanked @Ed_Miliband for turning on a British ally, he’s continuing to parrot Hamas talking points. Apparently Israel is meant to watch Hamas rearming in plain sight and just give immunity to the perpetrators of October 7. Spineless and mad.

Ok, so expel the ambassador, join the South Africa legal case, and investigate, under suspicion of war crimes, all British citizens who volunteered with Israeli forces in Gaza.
UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Gaza:
All of us condemn in the strongest terms the murder that Hamas did on October the 7th, but nothing can justify what has unfolded in Gaza since then.
And actually, you know, it’s worth saying since the ceasefire, the so-called ceasefire, 1,200 Palestinians have been killed.
You know, that is not much of a ceasefire.

One of the most terrifying things in the lives of Gazans is what is called a “fire belt”.
Aircraft drop dozens or even hundreds of bombs simultaneously on a small area no larger than one square kilometer. Israel uses this against a residential neighborhood, completely destroying every single house in it, and no one survives the massacre at all.
This video must never be forgotten.

In case you don't know, or have forgotten, what this is about: the Panama Files revealed that just about every person of import in a variety of countries world wide- including the UK - was illegally stashing money in offshore bank accounts.
Daphnia Caruana Galizia, who was instrumental in blowing this scandal sky high, was murdered for it.
Her son continues the fight in her name.

Our industrial decline is the result of decades of Thatcher's free market philiosophy. That's why we have let key industries go to the wall. To blame net zero is nonsense.

Make poorer people pay more in tax so the rich can pass on all their wealth to their children.
Yes, this is a VERY Tory idea.

🚨🎥 “Half an hour ago, there were still voices coming from inside this building. But unfortunately, the resources we have are not sufficient to reach them.”
At least 21 Palestinians, including 12 children and five women, were killed and 14 others injured after a six-story residential building damaged by Israeli attacks collapsed overnight in western Gaza City.
Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told Drop Site’s Abdel Qader Sabbah that the building collapsed at around 3 a.m. as families were sleeping, crushing its six floors on top of one another. Dozens remain trapped beneath the rubble.
“The fate of these people will remain unknown until we can reach them,” Basal said, describing how rescuers lack specialized equipment to locate survivors beneath the concrete due to Israeli restrictions.
Basal said around 2,000 damaged buildings across Gaza are on the verge of collapse while still housing thousands of Palestinians who have nowhere else to go.
“Are there any alternatives? The truth is, there are no alternatives in Gaza,” Basal said. “Anyone who has experienced the misery of tents and the misery of living inside them cannot leave a concrete building to go back to a tent.”
With insufficient tents and shelter space, Basal appealed directly to the international community, ceasefire guarantors, Board of Peace, and its High Representative, Nickolay Mladenov: “What more are you waiting for?”

This woman endorses a centre right position on refugees by standing as the Labour candidate, thus opposed by people on the left. What about that isn’t clicking?

Strange take.
It may be true that Sagal is an incredible woman, but policies matter.
I won’t support a party that is privatising the NHS, supporting genocide and pandering to the right - regardless of their candidate.

Do you live here? Have you known Sagal for over 10 years? Have you watched her play her political cards for her own advancement every single time? No? Then kindly take your accusations and shove them. We don't want a Starmer continuity candidate here. Gender race immaterial.
