People will look back in history and think Shami Chakrabarti must have had her head in her hands because someone was defending the genocide in Palestine, only to realise it was actually because someone pointed out that the ideology which produced that genocide might be racist.

The real question you should ask is... How much of this is inflation, and how much is extra profits for greedy bastards.

Only last year, Andy Burnham signed the fossil fuel treaty in Manchester along with Massive Attack, saying, "There should be no turning away from net zero, in my view." He’s just another politician who says one thing when it’s politically convenient, then does the opposite.

So now our children are going to be forcefully indoctrinated by zionists in our schools. Our teachers too will be indoctrinated by these zionists. Double bubble for zionists. They get to indoctrinate our educators and children and get paid for doing it. Happy about this? I'm not.

I bet if you asked Black or Asian kids if they've experienced racism, the figures would be both higher and more plausible. But no one's asking them, are they, @andyburnham? Funny that.
BREAKING: A landmark government report is set to reveal the vast scale of antisemitism in English schools and colleges, Sky News can exclusively reveal. The report, written by former schools inspector Sir David Bell, will on Wednesday set out 27 recommendations to create change.

Andy Burnham to make it harder for people to claim benefits, vows to ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare bill. Silence on corporate welfare. Work doesn't pay enough: 37.8% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. Women will be hardest hit. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

This man set up “No. 10 North” in record time. But did you know that Andy Burnham has brought in a team of UNELECTED officials to run the show at Downing Street? Here are the names of Burnham’s Lobbyists:🧵

I've just learned that Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male escort by handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain.

💔 A cry from the heart of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya's wife: "Save my husband before we lose him!" A doctor of humanity, whose only "crime" was saving lives. Today, he is the one who needs the world's help. #SaveTheDoctors #FreeDrHossamAbuSafiya

Shocked by that Boy George song tbh. It is worse than terrible. It is an insult. Hope he got well paid for it, because he has just lost the overwhelming majority of his fan base (or at least, all those who don't support genocide). Genuinely shocked.

Burnham is there for one reason and that is to buy Israel time to finish the Genocide.

Burnham has only been installed as Labour leader by a few hundred Labour MPs. Corbyn was elected by tens of thousands of Labour members and thrashed Burnham. Then the vast majority of Labour MPs refused to back Corbyn. This is the contempt they hold for Members. Still a member?

Reform MP and Israeli asset Suella Braverman went on an all expenses ‘solidarity trip’ to Israel. It was paid for by ‘The National Jewish Assembly’ at a cost of £27,801 She was there when an Israeli airstrike slaughtered 7 aid workers in Gaza, 3 of them British citizens.

We're with Healthcare Workers and Allies for Palestine outside the Foreign Office where they have organised a protest demanding the government acts over the disgusting treatment of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya by Israel. Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, the hospital director abducted from Gaza in 2024 by the Israeli occupation, faces an immediate risk to his life. The Physicians for Human Rights (PHRI) group has issued a warning about the threat after Abu Safiya’s lawyer visited him in the Nitzan prison where he is detained indefinitely without charge. You can read more on our website. Link in bio.

He's doing more to stop the genocide than our government. Hero.

Yep
🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time: "I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it" "And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
