They're desperate for the US to turn a corner because they think they can follow along in the slipstream, rather than have the balls to show any moral leadership themselves.
The Democrats' win in the US midterms could be part of a global "turning away from right-wing populism, from outrage and from promoting division", Dame Emily Thornberry tells @CathyNewman.

Unreal. We need a serious anti-terf reckoning in the UK; they’re *very* rarely only bigots in one dimension

Hard to watch Americans elect authentic, uncompromised, charismatic younger Dems all over the country… and then have @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries immediately step out as the front men — who are really none of those things.

Outside the Supreme Court, where the Palestine Action appeal hearing closed for the day, a man was arrested for saying, "In the UK, it's a crime to say, I support Palestine Action".
Police reportedly said it was due to the length of the pause between "crime to say" and "I support.."

"You don’t have to be a genius, really, to work out what’s going on here.”
On Wednesday, the last possible legal challenge on British soil of Palestine Action’s proscription began at the supreme court.
Dozens of protesters were arrested for holding signs quoting the author Sarah Helm, wife of the prime minister’s national security advisor Jonathan Powell. That’s despite the fact that the Met police chose not to take action against Helm, exposing a glaring double standard.

The United States is still committing genocide in Gaza, and the majority of Democrats elected last night support it.

BBC invited political prophet Farage on Q Time 38 times & continually allows him to demonise sorry set the agenda on discussions of immigrants on their news & current affairs shows ignoring his criminality. Here he applies his analytical brilliance to the US Election 🫤..

Judges: debating lawfulness of Labour's proscription of Palestine Action
Police: arresting grandmas because of Labour's proscription of Palestine Action
Labour: still supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza, and wasting everyone's time with their proscription of Palestine Action

Your government barred the guy campaigning with Abdul el-Sayed from entering the country. Nice try!
When you vilify, smear and demonise good people who refuse to let your hate define them, other good people don't stand by.
They stand up and vote for hope over fear.
Congratulations @AbdulElSayed 🎉

.@krystalball: "There were 41 ballot referendums on whether or not people wanted data centres in their communities. It went 41-0. There were zero communities, very diverse, rural, urban, liberal, conservative, there were zero communities that voted to allow data centres"

“Palestine Action is a courageous organisation doing what our own government should be doing.”

Remember when Shabana Mahmood blocked @hasanthehun from entering the UK five months ago, while he was campaigning with Abdul El-Sayed?
How things change.

From today’s Palestine Action court case.
“The state always wishes to have further powers to prevent crime, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. The proscription was an excessive reaction, and they didn’t need to go there.” 🎯
They did it under pressure from Trump and Israel

It's a sickening spectacle to see Labour MPs who think anti-Zionism is racism celebrating the election of Abdul Al-Sayed--an anti-Zionist Muslim who they would've expelled from their party

🚨 NEW: Turncoat councillor Kieran Dams of Sefton attempted to join Labour immediately after resigning from the Greens but was rejected.
He was previously a Labour member before defecting to the Lib Dems, then the Greens, and now the Lib Dems once more.

Polanski is one of few politicians in the UK who can congratulate Abdul El-Sayed without stinking of hypocrisy.

🚨Sheffield Labour capitulates. Greens didn’t give an inch. This is how you do it.

This is the same Labour Government letting B52 bombers take off from British soil to bomb Iran - while people here at home pay the price of Trump's illegal war in spiking energy prices.
Warm words about ending the war won't cut it - Burnham must end the UK's participation.

Tonight is why we keep fighting for a free Palestine. We know change is possible. We know the good guys will win.
