🧵 Israel Does Everything To Make Gaza Poorer 100% of all 2.3 million Gazans are below the poverty line, from civilians to politicians They have no bank notes because Israel won't allow in new ones, ATMs were bombed, PayPal was banned, and now even Crypto is under the target (1/3)

Israel’s ban on 37 humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, from entering Gaza is another war crime. The Green Party condemns this decision and calls for immediate international action to protect humanitarian actors.

The UK government that made it harder for people to access adult porn sites is the same UK government that uses a social media site that creates child porn.

Sweet lord why would anyone, let alone the BBC’s flagship news show, take an interest in what the disgraced ex head of political strategy for Starmer reckons??? The man is obviously one of the least competent political strategists to ever walk the earth. #r4today

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

Will a journalist ask Kier Starmer how the internet safety act thing is working to protect children, when X, a platform he and his government willingly use, will generate CSAM on demand. Ta x

It doesn't really get more, "Fuck you, pigs," than widely circulating a photograph of an individual resigning in disgrace for being an openly crude and bigoted moron with no self-preservation instinct, then waiting a few weeks and going, "Let's put him in a circle and whack him on the Opinion page."

Richard Burgess should be fired immediately.

Happy New Year! Tax the rich.

First superb conspiracy theory of 2026 overheard in the street! I love this. I feel it sets the tone for a superb year: “Wales is fake.”

Defeating the far right is not only possible, it's straightforward What's depressing is that what it takes is precisely the opposite of what the mainstream elite does: - calling out the far right for what it is - focus on positive ideas - not give any ground www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh, we do. Since her appointment Mary-Ann Stephenson has declined to recognise that trans women are women, has affirmed the hideous guidance drawn up by her predecessor, and has proven correct the two Select Committees who rejected her appointment because she was hopelessly out of her depth.

What a year 🤩 2025 brought our 100th anniversary, our biggest ever conference, bold new plans for Wales - and a huge win in Caerffili! Diolch mawr to everyone who’s supported us along the way 💚 We're heading into 2026 with more passion, energy, and determination than ever before. Ymlaen! ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The world’s 500 richest people have total wealth of $11.9tn. Their wealth up by $2.2tn in 2025. 8 billionaires accounting for a 25% of the gains. No one becomes this rich by working. They fund right-wing parties, oppose worker/human rights, cause more pollution than normal people.

2026 Senedd Election Predictions. We’re 4 months out from the election, so here are my thoughts on what may happen. Current projections imply a strong left wing progressive and pro-independence vote (Plaid & Green), 3 short of a majority, with far-right Reform forming the official opposition. 🧵

In 2025 and 2024 Israel’s air force and army chiefs were given special immunity by Keir Starmer’s government to visit Britain, to protect them from possible prosecution for war crimes. www.declassifieduk.org/israeli-air-...

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

Hi @libbybrooks.bsky.social. This part of what Stephenson said is a lie; “where you are providing single-sex services, the supreme court has said those have to be on the basis of biological sex.” Do you fact-check or interview trans people to put our case, at the Guardian?

Additionally: why do politics understanders seem constantly and publicly confused as to why Labour keep doing unpopular things? Obvious answer: it's performative, they aren't confused, Labour don't care about reelection, admitting this raises dangerous questions. But this is crackpot zealotry

🧵 Maybe you ask yourself why Israelis turn out to be genocidal even at a young age As a person who grew up in the Israeli education system, there’s a number of reasons for it: 1. The Nakba is seen as an actual celebration ("Independence Day") occupation of lands is a national pride (1/4)

I think the Fabian Society is a great case study as to how utterly ineffective incrementalist or gradualist approaches are to achieving any flavour of socialism. Nearly 142 years later and we still have Dickensian levels of wealth inequality, and they're rooting for more of it!

centrist ghouls insisting people dont like starmer because of 'vibes' are just projecting their own superficiality. you like him because hes a haircut a briefcase & a voice thats it. its aesthetics. honestly you should just own it. accept you're shallow & leave politics to other people. its ok

“fantasy solutions” is what reasonable centrists say to defend the status quo. our whole society is a fantasy solution, we are accelerating full speed towards a climate catastrophe, and pretend radically transforming society is fantasy while ignoring the laws of thermodynamics is realism.

NPR reported today that the overwhelming majority of the aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is *commercial.* In other words, Israel is banning free food and shelter aid and only allowing in goods that Palestinians have to buy. With money they don't have.

There are 12 billionaires we know of in the state of Wisconsin. If we taxed them *one time* at 50% two things would happen: 1. They would all remain billionaires. 2. We could fund the school breakfast and lunch program in Milwaukee for 53,000 years. #MarginalTaxRate works. For everyone.

“The idea that squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything is fantasy and we do need to expose that.” Good job no one’s ever actually said that - including me. So why is Labour again repeatedly lying to avoid taxing the super-rich? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

People who draw a false equivalence between leftism and fascism are fascism enablers. There isn't even a colorable good faith argument for the equivalence. At best, it reflects colossal stupidity.

Same as the wars or austerity really: this is *their project*, a thing they bought into and fought to inflict upon the public. And just like the wars and austerity, they fully understand why it is completely fucked and they *do not want to hear you, the pig-people, explaining how they fucked it*.

The Galaxy Brained Sensibles are having such trouble getting why Starmer is universally loathed cos he's a *cipher for them & their politics* Bt cos they're so convinced abt how marvellous they are they're unable to acknowledge people don't actually like their economics of despair & politics of lies

The only interesting thing about that Fabian bullshit is how inbred Labour are. You're telling me the guy who's talking utter shite about orthodox social democratic politics is the child of two right wing Labour MPs and has failed upwards to head a think tank? Say it ain't so!

She’s just bilingual

Happy tenth anniversary to photographer Joel Goodman’s classic image which by rights should be hanging in the Louvre.

@joedromey.bsky.social in your Guardian interview you attack Polanski for 'selling the unicorn' that "squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything that we want and everything that we need". Am sure you'd never sell unicorns so can you help me, please, with where Polanski said that?

Doctors Without Borders is also Hamas, just like Human Rights Watch are, like Amnesty International and indeed every aid and civil liberties organisation on earth that comments. Mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians scrambling for bags of flour though, that is just fine.

Mel - quoted in the manifesto of a fascist mass shooter who murdered seventy seven people, including a large number of teenagers he specifically targeted as children of socialists - says incitement to murder is disqualifying. Every day, these papers are rubbing everyone’s faces in their impunity.

'Today is about Christ, and not foreign religions'

It's over, Polly. Not only have your boys fucked it by doing exactly what they wanted to do, they've also armed the fascists waiting in the wings with everything they need to end democracy, if they so desire. That's why the Starmer govt is the worst administration in British history....so far.

Lewis & Blumenthal first came to my attention in 2019 when they were interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire They claimed to be an ordinary Jewish couple who were being driven out of the UK by Corbyn & his supporters Mark Lewis was a director for UK Lawyers for Israel from 2015-18

As I (and thousands of other people) predicted, Labour's non-deal with the USA wasn't worth the paper it isn't printed on. Starmer set Britain up to be Trump's chew toy. Absolutely catastrophic to have traded our EU membership for this turbocharged farce. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

🚨 This 👇 confirms it. The US is using the collapsed tech/AI deal to force Britain to accept chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef. Food standards are the leverage point and the red line. You can’t align with US tech power and stay aligned with Europe. www.farminguk.com/news/chlorin...

The right realised a long time ago that if they keep screeching about being persecuted and unheard it gives centrist wanks who basically agree with them an excuse to give them everything they want.

Wing of Zion, the plane carrying Benjamin Netanyahu, who is subject to an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, is calmly flying through French airspace on its way to Florida. 🛩️☀️ The French Government: international justice in words, impunity in actions.

Like, we know, in the UK, who gained from slavery and colonies the most, because they're in the house of lords. They're our upper class. Like that fellow who sold his family's land in the Bahamas to the govt of the Bahamas- there's no mystery how he got that land.

when did people start thinking it was unfair to expect political campaigns to do what political campaigns have always had to do, and instead just hope voters would believe and do as hoped

A new year means new expectations for #Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Here’s what we’re leaving behind in 2025 ⤵️

Were it not so tragic it'd be hilarious that people are fretting about the supposed unmanliness of *literally saving the world*. This is (part of) the insane price we pay for dividing virtues into boy-virtues and girl-virtues and discouraging everyone from pursuing their full moral development.
