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.

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.

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

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

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
Gorst for Garston retweeted
The sentencing of young direct action protesters for “terrorism”, a grave crime for which they were never charged is a monstrous miscarriage of justice, a carbuncle on the face of a formerly admired face. The face of British justice.
Gorst for Garston retweeted
You are wrong on this. Many who grow up to reject religion feel violated. This cannot be reversed for them.

Over 15,000 people have signed our petition demanding the UK government investigate the activities of British nationals who have served for Israel amid the Gaza genocide.

"There is no systematic evidence of any public body engaging in structural bias against white people, but of course there is against black and brown people"

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"
Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen... it shows exactly who he is"
