Yesterday, Ed Miliband vowed that the government “will not stand by” and “will not rest” until the suffering in Gaza ends.
Yet not a single arms export licence was revoked or suspended under his latest restrictions on Israel.

I have absolutely no idea why my timeline is completely ignoring the suspension of Labour MP Perran Moon today. He was just caught trying to dissolve his private company without paying back a £50,000 taxpayer-funded Covid loan. Right as this government prepares to hammer ordinary families with tax hikes in the Budget.
Here is what they desperately hope stays quiet!🧵

Lucy Powell has just been caught out by her own social media history.
Today, she defended Labour's decision to arrange Ed Miliband's 2015 interview with Russell Brand, claiming it wasn't the “social media age” back then.
Unfortunately for Powell, it's been discovered she was tweeting about Russell Brand in 2013.
So she was using social media to discuss Russell Brand two years before Labour supposedly couldn't use it to check him out?
Luckily, in 2026, it's very much a social media age, and we can see these Labour MPs lying to the public in real time.

MARK ZUCKERBERG WAS JUST SUBPOENAED.
Not for data leaks. Not for censorship.
For Epstein.
Bondi’s team found 3 wire transfers from a Meta subsidiary called “Horizon Bridge LLC” to the Butterfly Foundation — the same Epstein front company named in the Tehran files.
Total: $47.2 million between 2016 and 2019.
But that’s not the worst part.
The worst part is what the money was for.
Internal Meta documents recovered from the Tehran servers show that Zuckerberg personally approved a program called “Project Looking Glass.”
Its purpose: to build a private facial recognition database of every child on Instagram under the age of 14.
12.4 million faces. Catalogued. Tagged. Sorted.
And shared with a single external client: Ghislaine Maxwell.
Zuckerberg’s lawyers released a statement 40 minutes ago: “Mr. Zuckerberg will cooperate fully.”
That’s what they all say.
Right before the handcuffs.

If true this is outrageous.
It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds.
Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore.
Labour stand for the hedge funds.
🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

‘The world is not just witnessing this tragedy; it is complicit through its silence’ says @Tamer_Alnoaizy as families already living in tents suffer more misery amid flooding and lack of sufficient basic aid being allowed in by the Israeli authorities
I broke down while filming these scenes. I couldn't bear the scale of the suffering unfolding before my eyes. I tried my best to amplify these families' voices, but what I witnessed was beyond words.
Children soaked, tents completely flooded, and families left exposed to the cold and rain. The world is not just witnessing this tragedy; it is complicit through its silence.
Watch the report for yourselves.

This account is worth following - Ben is revealing all the details with regards to MCC, Andy Burnham and Adu Dhabi and MCC’s refusal to fully disclose. ⬇️⬇️
In this morning's update:-
Andy Burnham's GMCA lent £55.7m in 2017 to the Manchester Life companies, Manchester City Council's joint venture with Abu Dhabi United Group, owner of Manchester City.
Asked about these loans on Good Morning Britain, Angela Rayner said:- "all of that is transparent. The Prime Minister says he is happy for people to see that."
Yesterday, a day late, GMCA refused to release the loan documents, calling my request "vexatious". In the same letter it admits there is "a legitimate public interest in transparency and accountability concerning GMCA's use of public money".
I asked for just five documents:- the two reports councillors approved the loans on, and the three loan agreements.
Burnham told Parliament on 12 October "all my dealings will be published", and promised to put out "everything that I have done working with them" as Mayor.
GMCA has told the press it has no active partnerships with Abu Dhabi United Group. If that is the case, why hide it?

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

Sign the petition to stop the privatisation of the British Library.
At a time when public spaces are being fenced off for corporate interests, any attempt to privatise the British Library represents an attack on the public's right to accessible, free and communal spaces. vist.ly/5savt

Thames Water is in £20 billion of debt.
Right now, it’s only surviving because it just had ANOTHER expensive bailout. Now it wants to delay its debt repayments.
This is NOT a financially viable company. Any normal org with finances this bad would have collapsed into insolvency a long time ago.
Stop propping up the abysmal Thames Water. @andyburnham it’s time to intervene on behalf of the public. Bring Thames Water into special administration. vist.ly/5ryda

When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.
Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.
Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.
They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.
When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.
Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.
If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.
But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.
This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.
I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.

Andy Burnham has appointed the US consultancy giant BCG into the heart of Downing Street to draw up his 10 Year Plan for the country.
Last year they worked with Donald Trump on his plan for a 'Gaza riviera' to permanently ethnically cleanse Gaza.
There are no words.

🚨 PLEASE READ, SIGN, AND SHARE.
Neither @andyburnham @Ed_Miliband or @UKLabour put a single statement out in relation to the devastation we're seeing in Gaza as a result of the winter floods.
Think on that. All the talk just a month or so ago about how Labour got it wrong in Gaza, and not a SINGLE FUCKING WORD.
The hard reality is that it would suit their agenda for Palestinians to just roll over and die.
Their complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza is undeniable.
The petition to launch an inquiry into that complicity now stands at 97,721 signatures.
WE CAN HIT 100,000 TODAY!
And we shouldn't just be demanding an inquiry.
We should be demanding IMMEDIATE action to end Britain's complicity in the atrocities in Gaza.
IMMEDIATE action to impose sanctions on Israel.
And, above all, IMMEDIATE action to end the blockade and ensure humanitarian aid reaches Gaza.
We need to do more than just understand our own involvement.
WE NEED TO END THE GENOCIDE. FOR GOOD.
Sign the petition. Write to your MP.
Let's get this done.
