Superb investigation. The value of arms export licenses to Israel increased under the Labour government. They need to hang their heads in shame.
EXCLUSIVE: After a months-long investigation, Channel 4 News’s FactCheck team has obtained a dossier of new files on UK arms export licences to Israel.

When a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, it's a war crime. When a missile hits a hospital in Gaza, it's self-defense. When a missile hits a hospital in Lebanon, it's security threat. When a missile hits a hospital in Iran, it's pre-emptive strike. Bombing a hospital is a war crime everywhere.

On tonight's news we have "senior Labour backbencher" Meg Hillier talking about "making hard decisions". But no hardship involved for the bastards making them and those voting for them. Makes me so bloody angry. #BBCNews
"Alan Milburn says his proposed welfare cuts won't be 'pain-free'". They will for him. And for every MP on £98,599 a year plus eye-wateringly generous perks and expenses who votes for them. #BBCNews #PoliticsLive

David Beckham and Prince William celebrating you raising £15m for the London Air Ambulance Charity as if they did it. Either of them could have done it with their pocket change. Instead they take credit for what you did.

The most striking thing was a Labour prime minister *not* taking Gaza seriously.
“The most striking thing about that was a Labour leader taking Jeremy Corbyn seriously.” The Times’s Patrick Maguire and Stefan Boscia agree the prime minister’s response to Jeremy Corbyn’s question on Gaza was “surprising”.

There are 72 Lib Dem MPs and I think I could name about 6 of them, let alone where they stand on the climate emergency or foreign policy. For them to try and take the moral high ground on anything after the coalition of austerity with the Tories, is such breathtaking hypocrisy.
NEW: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to Green members who are unhappy with the direction of the party, encouraging them to defect. The letter is aimed at those members who feel nature and climate change has slipped down their party’s priorities and says “you have a home with us”.

He says "If you want peace prepare for war." 🤔 How about if you don't want war, promote peace and stop warmongering. 🤗

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson. What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held. This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police. Read more here: thebureauinvestigates.com/st… @TBIJ

If true this is outrageous. It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds. Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore. Labour stand for the hedge funds.
🚨BREAKING The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company. A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground. The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff. This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard. 112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water. A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration. And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way. @andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials. This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises? NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

They are doing absolutely nothing. Israel refuses to let aid in, and Ed just poses. Entirely performative.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking. The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

Running out of words to describe what a total let down and con man Burnham is. I'm just worried about the many people who can't see it.
EXCL: Ministers are expected to make steep cuts to the government’s electric vehicle targets this week, in a move that will relieve carmakers but alarm many Labour MPs who are worried about the government’s commitment to the green agenda - @kiranstacey reports theguardian.com/environment/…

"Mr Hitler would deny that he is a megalomaniac murderous bastard." - @vicderbyshire It is sadly at that level of pointless stupidity. Except of course that it isn't pointless. It's said to uphold the BBC's constant tacit support for Israel, which all of us witness daily.
Victoria Derbyshire has faced a wave of criticism after defending the Israeli government’s position when Bernie Sanders described it as 'extremist' during an appearance on BBC Newsnight 🗣️'Why are we still doing this?'

Lawyers for the UK government today claimed in the Supreme Court that all these pensioners and priests getting arrested was itself an act of terrorism: as it was Palestine Action seeking to overwhelm the justice system. They really did say that!

"The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel" And yet, in the UK, that is exactly what @andyburnham and his Labour Party are doing
"I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel" - Abdul El-Sayed Michigan Senator Absolutely Correct!

History made in New York! 🇵🇸 Aber Kawas, the child of Palestinian refugees, has won her election to the New York State Senate, becoming the first Palestinian American and hijab-wearing Muslim woman ever elected to the New York State Legislature.
