Good to point out that despite the hysteria about Sharia Law, most Muslims in Britain have supported unambiguously pro-LGBTQ parties like the Greens and Corbyn's Labour

Still makes me laugh that this is the 2024 Green Party coalition.

Has anyone else from "Our Future Our Choice" ever acknowledged this. Do none of them feel betrayed by Mr Will Dry working for the Brexit Government. Or are they all content with sabotaging Corbyn's Labour and getting a career boost out of it

(1) Will Dry co-led anti-Brexit group "OFOC", then he became a Sunak adviser, now he's helping an anti-Sunak revolt - from the right ! He's not alone. How did this happen ? Cos OFOC was never a grassroots group, it was always an artificial, lobbyist created place for careerists

The occupation isn't going to be ended by the "Israeli left", just like apartheid in South Africa wasn't ended by a sudden revival of its white Labour Party. It'll be ended by pro-occupation figures fearing state collapse and seeking a deal to stave off total breakdown

The stronger the anti-occupation Israeli left & Palestinian anti-Hamas left, the greater the likelihood of the just peace emerging that the Western left wants to see. Every time a western Hamasnik pops up, they instead strengthen the enemies of this heroic, brave I/P left.

Every time I see Jackson Hinkle go viral or get major media coverage, I get a little sad because I know Josh Jackson could have lived that life perfectly

The Labour left threw away their NEC majority to give Navendu Mishra a safe seat and the right to munch taxpayer-subsidised biscuits for life, only for him to renounce the left just four years later. Deeply humiliating spectacle

NEW: Mandelson once said aim during Blair era was to put the left in “sealed tomb” One Labour left MP says of Starmer leadership: “Now they’re not just sealing the tomb but incinerating it as well” My big read on the Labour left's future 👇

Going to defend cringe Instagram posts by saying it is an unambiguous good for the Palestinian cause to be seen as trendy & virtuous. People used to, and in some cases still, get censored and blacklisted for supporting Palestine & posts like this are a sign of growing solidarity

We also shouldn't forget Neil Coyle verbally abused a surprisingly down to earth and very funny Parliamentary staffer. Got two days pay deducted for that man's selfless sacrifice

After Labour MP Neil Coyle racially abused a journalist and had a sexual harassment case upheld against him, he was allowed to stand again. He's a white man who backs Keir Starmer. Compare and contrast to Diane Abbott. A clearly racist political party.

Labour could easily win back these voters in government by implementing an arms embargo on Israel and recognising the state of Palestine. They won't do this because they prioritise following Washington's lead above all else, but let's not pretend it's unachievable

The problem here is that it's an issue where the government has next to no power to do anything about it
