@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on the Israel-Palestine conflict: “When I’m speaking about the importance of dignity and international law and human rights, I speak about that with an application to everyone. For a long time, what we’ve seen is a willingness to exempt Palestinians from those ideals.”

Today in the Senate, we tried to hold a moment of silence for the children killed in the U.S. bombing on a school in Minab, Iran.

This is an appalling lack of judgement and the surest sign yet that Britain will continue to be Trump's lackey. The war in Iran has cost countless lives, and breached international law - yet we continue to support it. Very, very concerning. Very, very continuity Starmer.

No one is born racist, it’s taught. Quit teaching it.

Last night Israel bombed a residential building in Gaza city & murdered at least 5 people, including 3 children.

Woke up to news that Netanyahu's regime have killed yet more children overnight. How is this being allowed to continue? Get Netanyahu to The Hague!

How can we hope he has a serious plan for ending "the terrible suffering of people in Gaza" when he can't even bring himself to name Israel as the genocidal aggressor causing the suffering? We need concrete action - a full arms embargo and an end to trade with illegal settlements.

Kevin Keegan: he hated fascists

@msf.ca is calling for the immediate release of Palestinian healthcare workers who remain arbitrarily detained by #Israel.

While politicians differ over calling out Israel's actions, more than 75,000 people have been killed. The Green Party has always been clear: call it a genocide and end UK arms sales to Israel. Andy Burnham apologised. Now it's time to match those words with action.

Some of the very worst cheerleaders of Israel's genocide in Palestine have been sacked by Burnham. Great, but plenty of others remain & the real test is whether government policy actually changes. Will the arms sales stop? The sharing of intelligence? The trade with illegal settlements?

No Rachel, you are not leaving the UK economy stronger, healthier. No Keir, you are not leaving Britain in a better state than you found it. Together, you did enormous harm to Britain's social fabric & ethos. Good night! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Israeli ministers have just announced plans for new illegal settlements - three in Gaza and dozens more across the occupied West Bank. This is beyond reprehensible, and the international community must finally confront Israel with the full weight of international law. [1/2]

At a minimum, our government must ban trade with illegal settlements. Beyond that, we need real economic sanctions, as those imposed so far have changed nothing. [2/2]

His mother, María Arthuer, crossed the Sahara Desert barefoot in 1994. She climbed over Melilla’s border fence penniless and pregnant with Iñaki. Today, her son is a world champion. #respect

🚨NOW: We’re outside of Farnborough Horrorshow where 1,000 weapons companies are exhibiting their weapons of genocide and war. More than 100,000 visitors, including thousands of arms dealers, are expected in in the next 4 days.

Another one bites the dust.

Apart from Blair, I can't think of a Labour leader who has done more than Starmer to create division and polarisation. Pandering to Reform on immigration, complicity in genocide, attacks on the right to protest ... Now he presents himself as a great healer. His speech was not "moving" but sickening.

Coming over here, winning the World Cup ...

So much for a fresh start with Burnham. New oil and gas won't cut bills or make Britain more energy secure. But they will lock us into more climate damage. It's time to invest in clean energy, warm homes and the jobs of the future - not to double down on the fuels of the past.

Congratulations Spain!

The US president had to be almost dragged off stage by Gianni Infantino 🤦‍♂️

Bin for the win.

It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.

Congratulations Spain! 🇪🇸🇵🇸

¡Campeones! ¡Muchas felicidades, España! Hoy Europa celebra con vosotros 🇪🇸🇪🇺

Justice for football. Congratulations Spain, best team throughout this World Cup by some distance.

¡Felicidades, España! 🇪🇸🏆 Remember, Israel continues to kill our children at the very moment the world celebrates the World Cup final—a sport that unites people and reminds us of our shared humanity I wish the World Cup had lasted longer... for humanity... next chapter is dark

Team brilliance won over dazzling individualism to secure the World Cup for Spain. Functioning, wholesome multiculturalism also got a share of the glory. Football overcame, only just, the rabid commodification that almost killed its spirit. www.theguardian.com/football/liv...

Congratulations to Spain on winning the World Cup🏆 A tremendous achievement for the entire squad and a very proud day for the people of Spain. 🇪🇺🇪🇸

¡Viva España!

Finding this quite hard to stomach from a country that is bombing the shit out of other countries…

Can I humbly suggest a quick orange wedge and getting on with the game?

My @theguardian.com work yesterday 👇👇 www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

Good. As he should. Netanyahu is an indicted war criminal and should be at The Hague!

42 years ago, Mary Manning — a 21-year-old Dublin cashier — refused to ring up South African grapefruit. She was suspended. Ten colleagues walked out with her, and their strike lasted almost three years, until Ireland became the first Western country to ban apartheid goods.

That was a bit intense! #WorldCup

BULGARIA! WOW! THANK YOU! XXXXXX
