Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn both achieved a higher PNS than Starmer achieved (34%) in today’s council results.

Ed Miliband in 2012-13. Jeremy in 2018.

Incumbent Labour Prime Ministers usually go backwards in Labour Heartlands when they are in government & voters become disillusioned.

Sir Keir Starmer is achieving that disillusionment in opposition.

Labour going backwards in several heartland areas today.

Skys Mark Stone reporting on 🇺🇸 policing of student protesting at UCLA:

Tear gas
Rubber bullets
Stun grenades

When protesting against genocide is policed in this matter we know our freedoms are under attack.

Dangerous authoritarian times.

At least 8 innocent people murdered after Israeli 🇮🇱 air strikes destroyed one family home in Rafah 🇵🇸. Children among the victims.

The world casually watches as Israel continue to murder innocent Palestinians.

It’s genocide.

Boycott Israel 🇮🇱 now.

“The Greens, some spectacular gains... they may be heading for their best performance yet in English local elections' (Sir John Curtice, BBC)

So far, New Green Councillors in

The world pleaded with Israel 🇮🇱 not to bomb Rafah 🇵🇸

It made no difference.

Israel 🇮🇱 is a bringer of terror.

Sanctions now.
Boycott now.
Arms embargo now.
The Hague now.

Thousands gather outside the UCLA student encampment to protect the protestors but also in solidarity with Gaza 🇵🇸 and against genocide.

Across the world, youth are saying ‘not in our name’.

Colombia 🇨🇴 is breaking all relations with Israel 🇮🇱

Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah nation.

Boycott Israel 🇮🇱 now.

UCLA University, Los Angeles.

Pro-Israeli 🇮🇱 thugs attack anti genocide 🇵🇸 protestors.

“No place in this world”: shouts one thug as he attacks an anti genocide protestor.

And the police just watched.

We are living in dangerous authoritarian times.

Israeli 🇮🇱 airstrikes on Rafah 🇵🇸 this morning

Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened a massacre in Rafah and now it’s beginning

Only possible because of the support he receives from Biden 🇺🇸, Sunak, Starmer 🇬🇧 & von der leyen 🇪🇺

The Hague is not enough for the lot of them.

Students in US 🇺🇸, Australia 🇦🇺, Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷, Mexico 🇲🇽 protest.

They build Gaza 🇵🇸 encampments in their campuses, to expose genocide. They protest for peace.

These are the Pro-Israeli 🇮🇱 protestors. They protest for hate and oppression.

Sorbonne University students 🇫🇷 follow American 🇺🇸 students and form a Gaza 🇵🇸 encampment. They are then dragged away by the police.

USA 🇺🇸, Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷-peaceful students protests subverted by forces of the state.

These are dangerous times.

Humza Yousaf 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 can hold his head high.

He has integrity and honesty.

His leadership in calling out the genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸, in times of great personal difficulties, has been outstanding.

An alliance of The Greens, left independents and the SNP remains worth fighting for.

Boycott Israel 🇮🇱 now
Stop selling arms to Israel 🇮🇱 now
Arrest warrants now

Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah state.
