Seamus Coleman made it clear that "as a Dad as a Son as a Husband as a Brother" whose grown up "knowing what's right & wrong" he won't be playing for Ireland against Israel. Fair play Sheamie! How many players will follow his good example & also boycott the match?

“You Arab whores… We will kill you, drink your blood, & rape your girls.” This is what Maccabi Tel Aviv fans chanted in Stuttgart. This is who our political and media elites demanded must rampage through Birmingham, smearing you as racist if you opposed it.
In Stuttgart, supporters of the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv openly chanted in the streets in German: “You Arab whores… We will kill you, drink your blood, & rape your girls.”

Most people get worse off while a tiny few get even richer. Labour used to have policies to change that. Now they don't. That's why the party is so unpopular and politics is so volatile. Aping Reform won't win votes, is not pragmatic, nor progressive. It's just stupid.

This isn’t politics, you’re just holding a flag, you’re just a fucking pole.

Sadly can't make @michaelheadtreb at @thetradesclub in Hebden Bridge tonight so have spare ticket if anyone would like. No money wanted, just the knowledge that it's going to good use.

I've signed. I mean, why would you not... ONE signature is missing to protect millions of trees across the world. Add your name to call on @GovKathyHochul to sign the bill that can help curb #deforestation worldwide #nyclimateweek secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…

Not one mention of the catastrophic flooding in Libya at PMQs. Where is the concern for the victims of fires in Europe or the droughts across Africa? Where is the outrage at fossil fuel giants destroying our planet? Where is the hope for future generations? Wake up!

Sick, ill, decrepit party. 41 drowned. A prison ship with legionella & terberculosis & the Labour Party are concerned about £money. Glad I left this party in April 2020.
Tory asylum chaos is costing you money. Only Labour has a serious plan to go after smuggling gangs, clear the asylum backlog and end hotel use by speeding up decisions and fast-tracking cases from safe third countries.

Mohammad could be executed any day for joining protests in #Iran. But a massive global outcry could help save his life and shine a spotlight on the horrific pace of executions in the country. Sign and share now! #SaveMohammadJavad secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…

The country can’t afford to feed hungry children. Last year King Charles had to scrape by on £85m. So, over the next two years, we (the tax payers) are going to give him an extra £45m. Don’t believe them when you’re told this country is broke.

It's some indictment of the UK's medieval system of govt that the same man now banished from parliament was allowed an honours list by people at the top who knew exactly what was coming

I’ve been barred from standing as North East Mayor by @UKLabour. No explanation has been given. I’m proud to have created thousands of jobs, fought child poverty, built affordable homes and delivered our Green New Deal. I believe in democracy. Share if you do too. More to follow.

We need positive stories about immigration. Leadership that is compassionate, generous and kind. At worst we need people to make the economic case for why it's vital to our economy. We deserve so much better than Labour/Tories who are failing both the economy & humanity.
Starmer attacking the Tories from the far-right on immigration

Every time I think 'what's the point?', 'what will it achieve?', I remind myself of this.
