I think this is one of the most shameful days in Keir Starmer’s political career, and that’s saying something. Deliberately torpedoing a motion for an immediate ceasefire by undermining parliamentary traditions. Thousands and thousands of children are dead. Shameful.

An IDF soldier laughs and smashes up a shop in Jabalia refugee camp. The store will have been someone’s pride and joy, and a source of livelihood. Such brutal cruelty without a second thought — carried out with pride and a camera.

Israel has bombed Beirut for the first time since the 2006 war. This is a major escalation. Spare us the know-nothing buffoons and sudden Middle East specialists all asserting it is Hezbollah alone who threatens to “extend the war” For decades, Israel has violated Lebanese…

Never ever forget Keir Starmer standing there, red faced, poppy pinned to his Savile Row suit, refusing to call for a ceasefire, while Palestinian children are being killed by Israel at a rate of 1 every 10 minute. He is a monster.

I am ashamed to be British. I am ashamed that in the 21st century, my country, which has spilled blood around the world for centuries, still wants more. Government and opposition: united in support for genocide in Gaza. #NotInMyName

One of the worst things about the “Cost of Living Crisis” is poor people — who have always cooked on a budget — having to endure rich people explaining how to … cook on a budget …

🚨 NEW: Leftist MPs Tahir Ali and Kate Osamor are set to be deselected due to their support for Palestine. A Labour source told PoliticsHome: "the whips have assured people that Tahir will not be selected". Osamor is expected to remain suspended, and will thus be deselected.

All large scale humanitarian operations and projects I’ve ever investigated have had allegations thrown at them — corruption, political infiltration, assumed biases, etc. But I am not aware of any case, like UNRWA, where donor funds has been entirely pulled based on those…

Liz Truss just won 81326 votes from Tory Members and is now Prime Minister. That means 0.12% of British People just selected the leader of our country and gifted her a parliamentary majority that will shape all our lives. Don't let anyone ever tell you we live in a democracy.

Whenever you get back to Britain from a more normal European country your immediately confronted by how shabby everything is — roads an absolute state, buses covered in trash, trains cancelled, dreadful quality houses. I don’t know why everyone puts up with this.

The EU has cancelled aid funding for Palestine. One of The EU's recent flagship projects was 30 million euros to supply clean drinking water in Gaza. Palestinian children dying in agony from Cholera are not Hamas. That this point needs to be made is shocking beyond words.
