Reflections on the Caerphilly by-election from @owenjones.bsky.social : how it shows the left can succeed if it gets its act together, and how the media exclude the left - regarding it as not legitimate. youtube.com/watch?v=I2Tc...

“The decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans has been criticised across the political spectrum” – Sky News radio at 10.09. Confirmationthat media consider the left, those who don’t oppose banning racist thugs, and those not conflating Antizionism/antisemitism, as beyond the pale politically.

In other words, rat deserts sinking ship.

An insightful take (as ever) from @owenjones.bsky.social on what’s happening in Labour at the moment - how Starmer’s goons fear Andy Burnham, but we must beware how Burnham could just as easily veer to the right. youtube.com/watch?v=64A7...

Just joined. Time to move forward and make #YourParty work. Looking forward to getting involved. I hope to meet other members at #TWT25

Excellent film from @owenjones.bsky.social as he meets Palestinians in the West Bank and hears about their experiences of apartheid. youtube.com/watch?v=2jHu...

A clear sign that you can write any racist abuse on X / Twitter nowadays and face no consequences. I reported this offensive response to one of @mrmarksteel.bsky.social ‘s posts and got a pathetic response from X.

A systematic, forensic debunking by @owenjonesjourno of the lies Israeli tells in denying it is deliberately starving Gaza. youtube.com/watch?v=YhUo...

Amongst other things, @owenjones.bsky.social reminds us that it wouldn’t necessarily have been different without Netanyahu: the Opposition and much of the population were also cheerleaders for the genocide. youtube.com/watch?v=xnDF...

Fascinating, uplifting interview with @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social by @owenjones.bsky.social discussing Your Party and other issues such as Gaza, what Starmer believes in and working with the Greens. youtube.com/watch?v=49jp...

How dare this up-his-own-arse public schoolboy, trying to be all sage-like, patronisingly lecture @hackneyabbott.bsky.social on race. I don’t know why some people on the left look up to this fraud @mrjamesob.bsky.social. youtube.com/watch?v=sk22...

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Excellent from @owenjones.bsky.social on the morally bankrupt fraud that is Lisa Nandy youtube.com/watch?v=DTHC...

@soozuk.bsky.social I’d just like to say how much I enjoyed your performance in Chippenham this afternoon. Funny, original and cutting. I hope you have a lot of success with it in Edinburgh

Particularly powerful video from @owenjones.bsky.social As he says, a day of reckoning will come for those authoritarians who are currently in government enabling genocide. youtube.com/watch?v=KgPy...

Another excellent video, this time from ⁦‪@d‬⁩oubledown.news and featuring ⁦‪Alexei Sayle about the attempt to proscribe Palestine Action. www.instagram.com/reel/DLSqWIN...

Great stuff as ever from Alexei Sayle. Always consistent, never afraid to speak out (unlike some I could mention). Oh, and funny too! www.instagram.com/reel/DLSTO_C...

I reckon if Cooper declares Palestine Action a terrorist group we should get as many people as possible to declare themselves members. Should say I have not runs this past PA so this is just a random thought rather than a specific call to action.

The UN’s James Elder highlights the horrific situation and the long term effect on children - all caused by Israel - in this conversation with @owenjones.bsky.social. youtube.com/watch?v=8sVY...

@owenjones.bsky.social deservedly winning the ‘People's Choice Award' at the Amnesty Media Awards. He puts most other western journalists and media organisations to shame. youtube.com/watch?v=iQ9S...

Again BBC News must be told: if someone tells you it's raining & another tells you it's dry,it's not your job to quote them both.It’s your job to look out the fucking window & find out which is true. @owenjones.bsky.social on media complicity with Israeli lies.https://youtube.com/watch?v=lQevRYb0lu4

Ofcourse, this morally repugnant fraud said the exact opposite in his dishonest leadership bid. It’s bad enough on its own terms, but it just pushes the narrative rightwards, allowing Reform to go further. Stop scapegoating migrants. #StarmerOut @owenjones.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=oxiJ...

Great hearing Kieran Andrieu talk to @owenjones.bsky.social. Amazing family story, great analysis of the history and current situation facing Palestinians, but offers cause for optimism. youtube.com/watch?v=8aGj...

Rupert will be pleased. #r4today Screenshot: Man of the people, 9 jobs Nige pictured with a friend.

Israeli defence minister openly describes how they’re starving Gazans (see below). @owenjones.bsky.social speaks about how Israel must be held to account for its war crimes. Also, see www.gofundme.com/f/AssisttoRe... to help a Palestinian family. youtube.com/watch?v=ab_y...

Hillsborough happened 36 years ago today. No more waiting No watering down It was promised now Labour has to deliver.

So authoritarian! Just trying to deter others from protesting. Who will they come after next. @owenjones.bsky.social talks with Sam Holland of “Youth Demand”. youtube.com/watch?v=Ku33...

I found this out about Steph Driver when she stood in a local election here in Corsham in 2021. I was a Labour member then and about to deliver leaflets for her campaign. On discovering this, I politely told the local party where they could stick their leaflets. She’s clearly a good fit for Starmer!

Outstanding from @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social today. See below for why - and that’s even without mentioning the story of the time he had a tour manager high on acid who the promoter had hired via tinder just a couple of hours before.

Reeves destroyed by logic here as economist James Meadway talks to @owenjones.bsky.social about this cruel and economically illiterate government. youtube.com/watch?v=EDvP...

IDF soldiers video themselves smashing equipment in a hospital they later bomb, yet our media carry on the “one side says this, other says that” charade in its reporting. That isn’t objectivity! Excellent ascever from @owenjones.bsky.social. youtube.com/watch?v=dbR3...

Here @owenjones.bsky.social shows the importance of the left getting its act together or these dead-behind-the-eyes ghouls will pave the way for Farage. Includes a clip of Torsten Bellend with his “I’ve got a mortgage to pay” remark -real “let them eat cake” stuff. youtube.com/watch?v=A0XF...

You can vote Labour - if you share the values of dead-behind-the eyes ghouls like that medical expert Wes Streeting. If not, we need a left-wing alternative. See this from @owenjones.bsky.social. youtube.com/watch?v=LG6I...

Yet our media ignores it - as it doesn’t count Palestinian lives as worthwhile. @owenjones.bsky.social is a great exception, needed more than ever. youtube.com/watch?v=JOEt...

@soozuk.bsky.social Hi Sooz. Repost of earlier reply: seemed to disappear. Struck chord with me. This is great stuff. Heard this from so many centrists. I was waiting to hear if you’d include the one about how marvellous everything was at the time of the 2012 Olympics, and sure enough, there it was.

Revealing but not surprising as @karishmapatel.bsky.social talks to @owenjones.bsky.social about BBC pro-Israel bias. Very impressive. I’m not so keen on her beauty contest plans, though: it seems like a regressive step to me: could be counterproductive. youtube.com/watch?v=p5Hp...

These dead-behind-the-eyes psychopaths like Reeves, Kendall, and someone I’d not heard of before called Norris are beneath contempt. Great piece by @owenjones.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=TFZ7...

Trump couldn’t be clearer, yet so called objective media (Sky, BBC, NY Times) say his threat was only to Hamas. @owenjones.bsky.social shows unambiguously that Trump threatened the whole population. Trump Threatens To Kill EVERYONE In Gaza - And Media LIES ABOUT IT youtube.com/watch?v=vouT...
