Israeliska soldater låter nonchalant en skottskadad tonåring förblöda. Detta är en armé och ett omgärdande samhälle som har förvridits av att bedriva en i tilltagande grad rasideologisk, våldsbejakande ockupationspolitik.

Among other topics, we discuss the sale of children in care. They're worth roughly £100k each. The profit you can extract by sending them across the country to the cheapest housing in derelict places, cutting them off from all hope and contact, is off the scale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xx6...

"More than 23,000 tickets sold for Catalonia vs Palestine game in Barcelona Organizers lay out 400 white T-shirts at the stadium in tribute to Palestinian footballers killed in Israeli attacks" www.catalannews.com/society-scie...

She noted that while UNRWA has stockpiles for up to 6,000 trucks of supplies, only 500–600 trucks are allowed to enter daily, leaving millions of Palestinians at risk amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis. (2/2)

#BREAKING | F-35 fighter jet parts were secretly transported to Israel from a British air force base in Norfolk. At least seven arms shipments were sent from RAF Marham to Israel’s F-35 airbase at Nevatim after the Gaza bombing began. Declassified UK report

As winter approaches, UNRWA has enough supplies to feed Gaza's entire population for three months, but the Israeli government continues to obstruct delivery. The Guardian reports

#WATCH | Gaza’s systematic annihilation continues; units’ mission: leave nothing. (Israel Genocide Tracker)

Since Trump’s ‘ceasefire’, Israel killed 900 Palestinians in Gaza. In the West Bank, 691 Palestinians were kidnapped during 1,503 invasions. If the victims had been Israelis, the Western media would have been (rightly) protesting these pogroms. Now? A guilty silence prevails...

Any labour MP who stays in that party will walk into a cushy six figure corporate job and not think twice about the shit they caused

“The BBC’s coverage of Israel’s genocide is one of the great journalistic crimes of our age.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @owenjones.bsky.social flame the BBC for its pro-Israel bias and vent at right-wing gaslighting over the outlet’s “liberal” slant.

Personally I rarely watch the BBC but there are things it does better than anyone else. Regardless of that, Zack Polanski is totally right, it is ours, its history is our history. When Trump threatens it he’s threatening us!

Yet another story about the Labour Government that absolutely stinks.

"This energy!!!" 👏👏👏👏 Zack Polanski joins Rizzle Kicks out on stage in Bristol

Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Polanski looks like the only hope for left politics at the moment.

Led by a claret and blue-clad coffin, chants of "sack the board", "we want out club back" and "sold our soul, for that sh*thole" ring out loud and clear as the march passes beside Stratford Station.

Nuclear fission is old technology. It's slow to build, centralised and wildly expensive.

Name them pls

C’mon Villa

Idea for BBC R4: quality BBC journos, serious investigative reports, interviewers on top of subjects, balanced coverage of parties. No breathless reporting of Reform, journos as ‘experts’, book pluggers, pop song lyrics, football banter. Could be broadcast 06:00-09:00.

i love that he just says it. no skirting around, no ums and ahhs. we all know they should pay it, Zack is finally saying it

How to Build on Zohran Mamdani’s Win in Congress zeteo.com/p/build-zohr...

The carnage of the genocide has changed people. We wanted to free Palestine but it looks like Palestine will free us all...

Everything you ever needed to know about Reform right there in a single tweet .............. Are we really going to let these racists anywhere near the levers of power in our country ?

We have a Save Our Suffolk Swift talk this Thursday 6th November at 7pm, Moreton Hall Community Centre Symonds Road, Bury St Edmunds IP32 7JH. All are most welcome to attend @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻‍♀️

They will be as irrelevant as UKIP by the time 2029 comes around.

“Cinema is liberation”: as more acclaimed films emerge from Palestine, why are many still fighting to reach an audience? This year’s Oscars triumph for No Other Land should have been a watershed. But new titles still struggle to be seen. @ellenejones.bsky.social reports

Labour and Tories need to resign themselves to the fact that their decades-long gravy train has come to a shuddering, permanent halt. The fight now is between Green and Reform

Government approval rating: 12%. Prince Andrew popularity: 13%. Starmer’s government is literally less popular than Prince Andrew.

It's been a long time since I manged to get my hands dirty in the garden, the world of politics is keeping me busy, but today, after I don't know how long, I managed to get some time in the garden. Needed to feel the earth in my my hands again so desperately youtu.be/fd0mnGshzvg?...

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country. Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

"We will take your girls who love to party. When we’ll rape them we will shout. Today is death, Hapoel” This is a song by the Nazi rapist scum that Starmer is bending over backwards to invite into our country.

Imagine the reaction if the bodies of returned Israeli hostages were handcuffed, blindfolded & showed signs of torture. It would be on the front page, leading every news bulletin, & the govt would be condemning the murderous brutality of Hamas But Palestinian bodies? Nothing

Corbyn's weakness is Polanski's strength. Every time Corbyn was interviewed it was an exercise in damage limitation. For Zack, they are opportunities. He is slicker and more relatable, and the media don't have the effective attack lines they did against Corbyn.

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban. This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

fairsq.org/uefa-amsterd... In light of ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters attending Aston Villa match and Starmer's claim that this is anti-Semitic, see @fairsq.bsky.social letter to UEFA for a summary of key evidence

Ashish Prashar: Maccabi fans have a history of violence & if the govt overturns the ban, "it would be willing to put British citizens at risk to foreign nationals says a lot about out govts priority.. is the govts priority the state of Israel & its footballs fans, or ours?"

While Israelis are celebrating wildly the release of their hostages, Palestinian families are terrorised that, if they dare celebrate the release of their own, hell will be visited upon them. This is not Peace breaking out. This is Apartheid at its worst! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

I'm definitely watching Question Time tonight, and I haven't said that for about 30 years.

Not since the twentieth century have I said "I'm watching Question Time tonight" 😁

The first time I’ve been looking forward to watch Question Time in quite a while! Go on @zackpolanski.bsky.social! #bbcqt

Whether it's Zohran in NYC, or Zack in the UK, a solid way of telling when a political candidate has the juice is when the right-wing tabloids start tripping over themselves to smear them as a some kind of authoritarian communist.

Ed Balls: the Greens taking votes from Labour helps the Tories @zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I want to see every Labour politician whose voted for a two child benefit cap, for disability cuts, for the ongoing genocide in Gaza to sell arms to them, I want to see them replaced" #GMB
