I’m not quite sure how to process the fact that the UK government is now more alarmist than me, a noted conspiracy theorist. Thoughts & prayers to Andrew Neil in these confusing times. broligarchy.substack.com/p/t…

The French are decades ahead of Americans when it comes to politics: “It started with the student revolt, but it concerns the entire society. We are fighting against the government, against war, and against capitalism. The entire society needs to change.”
Macron’s regime telling the French they can’t protest backfired spectacularly. According to France’s CGT trade union nearly 800,000 people are protesting today. Vive la révolution!

The Green Party has seen its support increase in this latest poll. This comes despite relentless smears, and a wholly unjustified 'Burnham bounce' from a man barely distinguishable from Sir Keir Starmer.
**NEWEST POLL** Greens: +2

There are no divisions. There’s one ex-Green MP who is throwing a tantrum. Deputy Leader, like almost everyone else in the Greens, said the party will respect the democratic decision of the members and that we all back Zack. This is a media manufactured crisis. Don’t fall for it

Did @itvpeston ever cover any of the multiple meetings between Farage’s funders & the Russian embassy back in 2018? I can’t recall but maybe I’m mistaken. Was Farage ever asked why he voted in the pro-Kremlin bloc in the EU parliament? Or why Arron Banks thought Crimea is to Russia what the Isle of Wight is to Britain? Or why LeaveEU denied Russian involvement in Skripal?

Zack is right, and you’re a disgrace @AndyBurnham. The smears won’t work. Stop arming a genocide. Stop arresting pensioners for having more courage than you do.
I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party. You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.

Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism". 🔗 trib.al/c05KDDg

Though in a way I have to thank you. To understand why it’s taken a decade for a member of the UK government to acknowledge Russian interference, I give you exhibit A: the BBC’s wrong, inaccurate, inadequate, non-existent coverage

Zack Polanski just took the Greens to record figures in Holborn and they're calling for his resignation. In the same election Reform lost its deposit, not a single call by the same hypocrites for Farage to resign. That's what you call a "twisted media!"

The Telegraph are hypocrites. Smearing people who call out Israel while publishing antisemitic and Islamophobic cartoons. Glad we are boycotting them until they’ve apologised.

Fox News and some Zionist sites are accusing me of having played a part in last Saturday's Global Palestine Alliance London rally. Yes, I did. Proudly. A tiny part. I wish I had played a larger one. But I was in Athens and could only send this video - whose text I past below in the interests of full disclosure. Read/watch and judge: Greetings from Athens to the UK Alliance for Palestine. Kudos to all of you for continuing to mobilise against our generation’s greatest crime, our generation’s genocide in Gaza and the systematic state-backed ethnic cleansing and ruthless land seizures in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. As I have said before, if this were the 1930s, we would have only one moral duty: to defend Jewish people from the Nazis. Today, we again have only one moral duty: to defend Palestinian people from Israel. Friends, I am not going to finish this message of solidarity by caressing your ears. I am going to do the opposite. At the risk of upsetting you, I am going to suggest that we stop congratulating ourselves. So far, we have failed. The genocide, the ethnic cleansing, the white-washing of this century’s greatest crime is continuing despite our efforts. Our governments remain utterly complicit. Even when they do some windowdressing, like Andy Burnham sanctioning exports from the Occupied Territories (as if Israel will brand them as such!), they only do it to ENSURE that there is no trade and arms embargo against Israel to force Israel to cease and desist from its genocidal practices. What PM Burnham has done was to take the wind out of our sails by lulling the majority into thinking that there has been a change when there hasn’t been. Look at the way the media are still at it. Copying the playbook that demonised and vilified Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, for ‘insufficient support of Israel’s genocide’, they are applying the same playbook today against Zack Polanski and the Green Party. Wherever we look – if we are honest – we see the evidence of our movement’s failure to dent Israel’s determination to complete its genocide and of our political and economic system’s to lend the Apartheid state a hand. I know: Many of you are tired, after years of campaigning often at high personal cost. But now is not the time to feel the fatigue. Now is the time to do more. To do better. To end genocide, ethnic cleansing and land seizures across Palestine. To make it possible to imagine – not just as a slogan – a Palestine free of Apartheid.
