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.

There's only one thing worse for our education system more than an academy trust, and that's a religious academy trust.
Education should not be influenced by either religion or profit.
Let's make education accountable again, bring back our comprehensives!

A Palestinian violently expelled from their home during the Nakba cannot return. But as a British Jew, I can move to Israel and become a citizen.
That is racism.

Show this to anybody who still denies the genocide.
These were all people's homes. Completely and totally destroyed.
These images should haunt those who enabled Israel's crimes against humanity - and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people.

I have tonight resigned from the Workers Party of Britain because I profoundly disagree with the decision to stand in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election. I have a huge amount of respect for George Galloway, but I believe we should get behind Zack Polanski on this occasion. My firm view is that the left must collaborate to defeat the Labour Party, Reform UK, Conservatives and Lib Dems because these parties are all in the pocket of the neoliberal Zionist war machine. Zack is best placed to do that in this by-election.
I commend Zack's recognition that the govt can intervene in the economy to create a good society because it issues the currency. I applaud his position on the so-called war on drugs, which has absolutely failed. I salute his pragmatic and compassionate analysis of illegal immigration. And I commend his assessment of the criminal justice system.
I do have some differences on a small set of issues, most notably their current pro-EU and pro-NATO stances, but my view is that we should agree where we agree, which is on most things, and simply have fraternal disagreements where we don’t.

Trek Therapy were pleased to be able to engage with the good people of Garston today at the Garston Veterans themed Community Fun Day.
Thank you to Cllr Sam Gorst from @Lpool_Council and his team for organising this well attended and received event.
@HMSEagletRNR – at Huyton-with-Roby, England
After many discussions with comrades across Unite, past & present, I've voted for @SimonDubbins67 for @unitetheunion General Secretary.
This is an important election. Whatever your view, let's keep the debate comradely. Please use your vote.

Liverpool. 2nd most health-deprived local authority in England. 12th most deprived overall. One in three children grow up in poverty.
Your Party’s Liverpool branch launches Sunday.
Liverpool has always known how to organise. Now it has a branch to do it in.

The Green Party surge is in large part down to pro-Palestine movement
If they allow Zionists within the party to exert control, the whole project will go up in flames
We’ve seen this before. It’s suicide
Zionists destroy everything they touch
Any condemnation of the fascist state if Israel? Are you still denying a genocide?
The situation in Gaza is desperate. Today the UK is announcing £23m for @UNRWA to deliver vital support including food, water, education and medical support for Palestinian refugees.
There must be more aid, all crossings opened, and humanitarian agencies able to operate safely.

Impressive how this was written without mentioning the word Israel once.

Keir Starmer resigned, calling the Labour Party he inherited “morally bankrupt”.
He inherited a Jeremy Corbyn party with half a million members, 40% of the vote in 2017 and the most popular manifesto in a generation.
He won 33.7% in 2024. The lowest winning vote share on record

Andy Burnham's choice of chief of staff, arch-Blairite James Purnell, is unpromising to say the least.

Parliament should reverse the decision to proscribe Palestine Action urgently before we see large numbers of elderly people in particular being dragged before our courts. Classifying protest through direct action as terrorism brings Parliament & our judicial system into disrepute
