Dominic Waghorn reports that Israel refuses to release Marwan Barghouti, "who is arguably the Nelson Mandela of Palestinians".

The release of Mandela heralded the end of apartheid South Africa. Its not hard to see why the Israeli apartheid regime wants to keep him locked up.

Democratic Princess HOLOCAUST HARRIS and BLUE MAGA, most definitely have learnt a lesson about who to blame for her loss...lifelong Democrats in swing states who literally said what they wanted, with their red line, and how she ignored it all (she was too busy twerking and chasing AIPAC coin)

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.

The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.

With yourparty.uk up & running, the benefit of hindsight, Greens making the right noises, a bunch of small socialist parties & a smattering of independents ready to form a coalition, policies in this thread have the best chance yet of becoming law.

We have to make it happen! #SocialistEveryday

Considering austerity, cancelled winter fuel payments, support for genocide and war in Ukraine, I believe it's no exaggeration to say that Starmer's fascist coup against 'dangerous allotment-keeping jam-maker' Jeremy Corbyn has likely already cost thousands of lives. How many more? #CouldHaveHad

The Scales ⚖️ @shakethescales.bsky.social · May 30

In 2015, after just two months as an MP, Starmer voted to oust Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader in the first chicken coup. In an attempt to unite the party, Corbyn promoted him to the shadow cabinet.

Contrast that to Starmer’s actions expelling the left… #NeverStarmer

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. Zack Polanski and the @greenparty.org.uk have done an excellent job of highlighting Farage’s nonsense of not knowing who Nathan Gill was.

Will follow back like-minded people.✊

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

...and this is different to @zackpolanski.bsky.social how, exactly?

I was *so* excited in the summer when you announced the formation of #YourParty, but time has moved on. If you all joined the @greenparty.org.uk , the momentum would be unstoppable.

I don't understand why this is not happening?

Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana.bsky.social · 2d

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

Britain does need defending, but not from immigration.

Britain needs defending from the ruling elite.

Britain needs defending from corrupt media.

Britain needs defending from fascism.

Britain needs defending from the far-right.

Brian needs defending from privatisation.

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.

Farage failed on Brexit.

Farage failed 8 times to become an MP

Farage has failed on Local Councils

Farage has failed to tell us who bought his house.

Farage has failed to distance himself from Nathan Gill

Farage will fail to become PM

Farage is a failure

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

He's the closest resemblance to a human cockroach I've ever seen. Imagine suppressing evidence of crimes of rape and underage sex for money & power. I think this guy should end up in prison for the rest of his natural life if there's any real justice in the US.
