Has anyone done a block zionists list? No way do they deserve any kind of response after all the war crimes, apartheid, plausible genocide, atrocities, enforced slow starvation of Gaza, forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, continued settler attacks on villages, torture n rapes of prisoners. . .

The award of the now largely discredited Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan US puppet Maria Corina Machado is a prelude to the US ramping up its attacks on Venezuela. If Trump couldn't be given it - because he is a blatant warmonger - then they had to give it to one of his allies.

Tonight Newham Labour councillors voted unanimously to reject full divestment of Newham’s pension fund from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

@newhamgreens.bsky.social and Newham Independents fought strongly but Labour blocked it.

We won’t stop - now we take the fight to the ballot box.

Francesca Albanese: "The request to demilitarise and deradicalise Gaza... in the name of Israels security. Where is the security of the Palestinians, who have been attacked without respite for decades... where is the demilitarisation and deradicalisation of Israels society?"

Francesca Albanese is asked, how likely is it that Hamas will disarm?

Francesca Albanese explains that Hamas has said it will disarm once there is an independent and sovereign Palestinian state that grants stability and security to the Palestinian people.

Trump seeks a ‘hegemonic peace’ favoring Israel and the US, rather than a balanced resolution. Marwan Bishara warns that the plan remains vague and unenforceable, making lasting peace unlikely beyond a temporary ceasefire.

The background is green with the Daily Express logo in the upper left and a photo of Zack Polanski speaking into a microphone on the right, holding a cartoon-style bundle of cash with a pound sign. Below, a mocked-up newspaper headline reads: “Zack Polanski wants to redistribute our money and turn Britain into a Left-wing haven.” At the bottom, the Green Party logo and web address Join.greenparty.org.uk are displayed.

Why are young women flocking to the Greens?
When I asked them, they spoke to me about poverty, about protest - and, yes, about nature.
It all adds up to a fierce longing for change - which I share.
