"We need to give this new government a chance." We're 11 weeks in - pensioners winter fuel payments removed, the Labour party accepts millions of pounds from hedge funds from oil & gas linked companies & arms trades whilst still not even a hint of change on two child limit.

The moment that arrest warrants are finally issued against Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister will be a big moment. Many of those who remained silent, handwringing aside, will realise that they sat through one of the worst atrocities of our age and did nothing.

It is repulsive, abhorrent, indefensible & frankly unbelievable that our political leaders are allowing all of these beautiful children, and women & men, to be slaughtered at the behest of Israel’s proudly fascist, bloodthirsty, criminal regime with our weapons. #NotInOurNames

You’re either against politicians receiving these gifts or you’re not. Anyone clutching at straws saying that ‘the Tories were worse’ is splitting hairs. It’s either OK, or it’s not.

There's a needless, and frankly rather casual, cruelty in Labour's opposition to Erasmus. A naked preferring of the votes of older Brexit supporters to the life chances of young people. theguardian.com/world/2024/sep…

About half of what I wear is clothing donations… given by averagely waged donors to the charity and re-use shops I get them from. A big thank you to all the generous people my size who keep me (and most other Greens you see in the public eye) completely acceptably styled!

A child in a wheelchair was bombed along with the few animals left and everything else around him. This is what they mean when they say Amalek.

How did it Mohamed Al Fayed get away with it for so long? Because of the networks of social protection that surround all powerful people: power looks after power. Here is Piers Morgan in 1999, saying the quiet bit out loud:

Ellie Reeves MP says “ Labour's GE victory was only possible because under Keir’s leadership we changed the party” Changed it into an organisation whose leaders are in the pocket of millionaires?

If Jenrick needs some exs of Englishness, he could start with the Diggers & Levellers, Tolpuddle martyrs, working people fighting for our rights against elites trying to prevent it eg at Peterloo - our history is far more inclusive & radical than he knows huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/what-is-…
