The Home Secretary is completely wrong to say Gaza protests would be "un-British" following the horrific attack on a Manchester Synagogue.

She should be demanding the immediate release of the British citizens who've been kidnapped by the Zionist colony.

I see the Daily Mirror has reported that Owen Jones "has been booted out of Labour conference." The irony is that six years ago, he was one of liberal lefties leading calls to kick me out of the Labour Party and called me the "king of the cranks."

Keir Starmer to warn Labour that battle with Reform is ‘fight for soul of the nation’

Chris Williamson @derbychrisw.bsky.social · 11d

The battle for the soul of the nation won't be won by Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party. Labour's policies are barely distinguishable from ReformUK. Truth be told, the battle for the soul of the nation can only be won by a united left-wing popular front.
