.@lisanandy LIED to Parliament over Maccabee Tel Aviv issue A blatant LIE No apology demanded by Starmer No apology given Parliament held in contempt The public held in contempt
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has been reprimanded by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over failings during the process for appointing a new chair of the independent football regulator. Read more on our politics blog 🔗 trib.al/6cGvCFZ

Remember when Starmer said this before the election. “We need to clean up politics. No more VIP fast lanes. No more kick‑backs for colleagues. No more revolving doors between Government and the companies they regulate. I will restore standards in public life with a total crackdown on cronyism.” Oops …. Another one 🤡

I'll repeat. Laurence Fox is a racist piece of shit. He can't sue me.

If sanctions were removed from Venezuela and Cuba they would become the most developed countries in Latin America and the Caribbean within two decades. This would shatter the imperial narrative, so it must not be allowed.
Absolutely brutal community note
Protecting a p*dophile is one step away from being a p*dophile. Prove me wrong.🧐

I have a sense this may be very ill-advised of Berg.
BBC Online’s Middle East Editor Raffi Berg is suing ⁦⁦@owenjonesjourno⁩ for libel. Jones published an article criticising the BBC’s coverage of Gaza. One part of the piece reported claims by BBC staff that Berg had shown pro-Israel bias. jewishnews.co.uk/bbc-middle-…

To be angry - I'd have to truly care what a Tory Peer thinks about the Green Party! You were called out for your childish nonsense. They're right about one thing. We're not here to represent Rupert Murdoch or them. We're here to represent the people. Join.greenparty.org.uk

How do you not find it embarrassing, as a UK government minister, to pretend to know less about US politics than the average politically engaged person in this country?

Real tweet from former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani

One of the more interesting and revealing moments of the NYC Mayor race was during the Dem primary debate. All candidates were asked which country they would visit first as Mayor, and all said Israel: except Zohran, who said his focus would be on NYC.😲

As I predicted, Italian Journalist Gabriele Nunziati, was just fired by Romes Nova News agency for asking this question. Legend.
The absolutely gross hypocrisy of the EU laid bare in a single question. "If Russia has to pay to rebuild Ukraine, does Israel have to pay to rebuild Gaza?" The EU answer? We dont have an answer.

Who is doing this Foreign Secretary? Is it Norway? Is it Guatamala? Eswatini perhaps? Aid is being prevented entry into Gaza to feed a starving population yet the UK Foreign Secretary cannot call out the state that is doing this.
There are tonnes of UK aid for Gaza waiting in Jordan. The aid route from Jordan must be re-opened and restrictions must be lifted. The people of Gaza cannot wait.

Interesting. I can never work out how this government can express this kind of concern while seemingly (yes, seemingly) totally unable to do anything about it.

If a candidacy as principled and talented as Mamdani's emerged in Britain, the Labour Party's internal oligarchy would bend over backwards to strangle it in its crib.
Inspirational campaign and victory for @ZohranKMamdani in NYC. Lessons for progressives the world over.

If Zohran Mamdani were British, Keir Starmer would have definitely expelled him from the Labour Party.
