Big Brother’s Brit Card - Blair’s ghost haunts Britain.

The Tony Blair Institute infiltrates Starmer’s government, pushing digital surveillance. Same neoliberal agenda, new digital chains.

This is authoritarianism. Starmer serves surveillance capitalists, not ordinary people

It is not an overreaction to call this what it is.

Racism

Reform UK’s barbaric scheme is pure racial capitalism: exploit migrant labour when profitable - criminalise and deport them when political expediency demands it.

This assault on migrant workers is part of a global pattern. They manufacture a crisis to justify their racist agenda

Britain’s recognition of Palestine comes 108 years after the Balfour Declaration -the colonial document that carved up Palestinian land like a feast for European settlers.

Yet, arms sales to Israel continues.

Imperial theatre!!

Finally, the British government on behalf of the United Kingdom recognises the State of Palestine.

What took them so long?

Jeremy Corbyn speaking at the Peace and Justice:

800,000 people have signed up…I am absolutely determined this party will be founded…will be open…democratic and grassroots-based.…will be a party that enthuses, unites, and mobilises people #PJPconf25

The path forward leads to our founding conference in November. Regional assemblies will ensure every voice is heard. Local branches will build lasting power.

Let’s double our efforts, pull this together and get moving.

Recent divisions have tested us, but our purpose remains clear.

The establishment fears what we represent. Failure is not an option.

•Build the largest left movement ever to form a new political party with inclusion at its heart
•Hold a huge founding conference to formalise
•Register a new left political party and membership

Racists are not welcome here

We cannot be silent or silenced

Israel’s annihilation of Gaza City is not war, it’s ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Forde report exposed horrific sexism, anti-black racism and appalling treatment of Black women in the Labour Party. Abused, hated, gaslighted, targeted, ignored.

Under Keir Starmer’s leadership it was buried. No acknowledgment, action or apology

Keir Starmer’s aide, resigns after grotesque, misogynistic, sexually explicit attacks on Diane Abbott - exposing a vile racist, sexist rot at the heart of Labour. Paul Ovenden was not acting alone

Diane symbolises resistance and defiance against racism and patriarchy. Solidarity

There are 156 billionaires in the UK today, while 14 million people live in poverty.

In a truly fair society there would be no billionaires and no one would live in poverty.

Two men raped a young Sikh woman, in Oldbury, England, telling her “You don’t belong in this country”

Their violence is the vile endpoint of racism, misogyny and sexism, supercharged by a toxic culture that mainstreams far-right dogma.

It’s calculated dehumanisation. Unity now

At Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom march and event, they deliberately and publicly on stage, ripped to shreds, the Palestinian flag - a flag for all faiths and none and a people undergoing an Israeli state genocide in Gaza.

We cannot be silent or silenced.

Free Palestine.
