This is an enormous victory for the Palestinian solidarity movement, for civil liberties and for our common humanity. The real crime is this governmentâs complicity in genocide - and we will not rest until we have justice for the Palestinian people.

The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party. He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war. Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.

A fair point. The al Fayed Harrods sex abuse and trafficking scandal has led to zero consequences. The Met Police have rec'd over 140 reports of alleged offences (incl rape, sexual assault & trafficking) spanning decades, but no charges have been brought. So far, Starmer's govt has done nothing.

Cohen's sexual misconduct was widely known, and tolerated, in the industry. He sent defamation threats to those who talked about it. Massie's reaction was not to be interested in the evidence - but to be furious at me for exposing it. That's how much Massie cares about women.

To understand how much Alex Massie actually cares about women's safety: when I called out his transphobe-in-arms Nick Cohen for multiple acts of sexual misconduct against cis women, which eventually got him sacked, Massie went berserk at me. Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.
