Friends, you'll find much more of the same on my new bluesky home :-)

'Sticking points' are when you disagree on the seating plan for a state dinner, not when your close ally is openly committing genocide.
BREAKING: David Lammy has called Israel's plans to create concentration camps for Palestinians a 'sticking point' for the UK

Easy. Drive them to a settlement. If they are allowed in, they are Jewish. If they are detained, they are Palestinian.
Apartheid? I just got back from Israel. What I think would be a really funny exercise would be to put anti-Israel haters on the streets of Tel Aviv and asking them to point out who is an Arab and who is a Jew. And then just watching them make complete fools of themselves.

And this is the big point: We've proven that Trump's bullying works at a time few other countries were signing on! So why would he stop now. Rather than standing to the bully, we've empowered him. This helps him way more than it helps us.   stoptrump.org.uk/statement-o…

If you think the chap on top getting 420 times the AVERAGE EMPLOYEE SALARY in the same company and that is ok and good for society, then you're delusional. You won't ever be paid £10 million a year, but we all could have much more decent lives without the greedy c*nts on top.
Hi @Tesco my da had cancer treatment this week and my maw needed a few days off work to care for him. her manager told her to take this as unpaid leave. Can I ask, is this company policy? Can you also confirm that your CEO received over £9M in pay last year? Thank you♥️

Very briefly popping here to say, as always: Solidarity with @ApsanaBegumMP - hounded and vilified for getting a council flat to live in. While ministers out there related to despots, getting flats gifted to them to play landlord with.

If you are a Labour Party member or part of a trade union, it’s crucial that you add your voice to this open letter calling on Streeting to reverse the puberty blockers ban. We’re so close to 10,000 signatures already👇 actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

The ICC has finally issued arrest warrants. PM must make an urgent statement confirming the UK will comply with international obligations. They must end all arm sales to Israel immediately and impose sanctions. It is time those responsible for war crimes are held accountable.

can’t imagine there’s anything more cathartic for a white southern conservative than getting to personally segregate a restroom
I never thought we would need a sign for this, but women's restrooms are for BIOLOGICAL women. Not men.

As of today, states arming Israel--UK, USA, Germany etc--are officially abetting an accused war criminal. Which would be....a war crime.

Seeing France, The Netherlands etc say they will follow the ICJ arrest warrant is honestly a LIFE-AFFIRMING moment. Governments won't save us but this is a big big shift

He will always have Germany 🤮

It's time for @DavidLammy and @Keir_Starmer to confirm that they too will comply with the ICC warrant!
This poses further urgent questions into Keir Starmers position in this. The ICC are saying there is reasonable grounds that Netanyahu bore "criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes." And our country has been an active enabler in the genocide. bbc.com/news/articles/cly2ex…

It took decades of Palestinian blood, sweat, and tears to get here and it will regretfully take much more still for Palestinians to liberate themselves but dammit this is such good f*cking news
