There is a demo for Palestine in London tomorrow. Please all go out and show this stupid government in the UK that people refuse to be part of the Israeli genocide. Make it the biggest in history, make it count please. Israel is killing and starving people in Gaza. You can do something to stop this
Hind Khoudary: "We're talking about a population that went for 15mths of war, they lost everything, they lost their income, their jobs, and they rely on food assistance & aid"
Today is the 10th day Israel is blocking all food & aid from entering Gaza.
There's simply no universe where what these two guys are saying should be controversial
Israel has now forced 90% of the Palestinian population in the Jenin refugee camp (in the occupied West Bank) from their homes.
It’s a war crime to withhold food and aid, even during a war, it’s collective punishment, and shouldn’t be dependent on a ceasefire #gaza
Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt
Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch at PMQs debating which of them will be toughest on refugees and migrants, while Starmer accuses the Conservatives of having an "open borders" policy.
Deeply depressing

Labour and Tories competing for top Nasty Party spot today in PMQs, grim
Is this real?? Sckening - serving up people’s suffering to appease the populist Right. When will Labour learn you can’t out-Reform Reform? Instead, offer a far bolder agenda of green investment in local
communities, public services in public hands, wealth taxes on super-rich, & a bit of hope FFS
Always worth watching a Glasgow audience
2/2 This is a clear moral and legal red line. Either you stand for international law and basic human decency, or you don’t. It’s that simple. And if you can’t take a stand on this, then where will you ever draw the line?
1/2 I understand the need for diplomacy, especially given the current administration in the US. But diplomacy cannot be an excuse for silence in the face of ethnic cleansing—because that’s exactly what Trump’s proposals amount to.
Here we are, with Starmer - a former human rights lawyer!! - being begged to even remotely distance himself from an ethnic cleansing plan. He stands for nothing, his front bench stand for nothing.
When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*
The UK government urgently needs to condemn Trump’s comments about Gaza and assert international law
"Leave or die' Trump tells the Palestinians of Gaza, endorsing the war crime of ethnic cleansing as official US policy. Europe now has to make its choice: Leave NATO immediately or forever be remembered as Trump's lieutenant in this crime against humanity www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...
This is just evil
In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives.

WATCH: It's been a year since Israel killed 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab. Why has the US continued to turn a blind eye?
@premthakker.bsky.social takes a look at Joe Biden’s legacy of disregard for Palestinian life – even the most innocent.

An institution and a rare bit of real character in central London. And one of the last repertory cinemas. Save Prince Charles Cinema!
@daisycoole.bsky.social is the best. I’d recommend her as an assistant to other composers, but she’s probably too busy composing her own fabulous scores….
The soundtrack to @yrfatfriendfilm.bsky.social including original score by @taracreme.bsky.social is available on Spotify

We had such a great time recording this score and lovely to have director Jeanie join us 🥰
The incredible score that @taracreme.bsky.social wrote. Seeing it recorded live was a truly memorable experience. I love the way Tara’s music flows through the film.
With Olga Fitzroy @daisycoole.bsky.social and more!
They talk about them as if they’re naughty schoolchildren!

A year ago today, the ICJ ordered provisional measures to esnure Israel did not commit genocide in Gaza. Israel has ignored that ruling. It hit Gaza harder, continued to use starvation as a weapon of war. 1/ icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...
