This is not a 'peace deal'. It's a gun to the head - let #Trump and #Blair run your country or they will let #Israel destroy it.

I am dreadfully sorry to lose Zarah from the Labour Party. The people running Labour at the moment need to ask themselves why a young, articulate, talented, extremely dedicated socialist feels she now has no home in the Labour Party and has to leave.
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country. Join us. The time is now. Sign up here to stay updated: actionnetwork.org/forms/join…

What an amazing 3 days. Have learnt so much and met the most amazing people. A great turnout by the 'fighting 9' and so much to take back to my Brigade. # DND @fbunational @EasternFBU @JanineBooth

With recent coverage of Elon Musk’s and Kanye West’s #autism, please take a moment to appreciate your friends, workmates and family members who are autistic but are not complete tossers. Thank you.

The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…

If #Labour is worried about losing votes to #Reform because of #immigration, then the answer is not to copy Reform's immigration policy but to challenge it.

I thought Donald Trump was vehemently opposed to people seeking refuge in another country having been forced to flee their own? I guess that doesn't apply to millions of #Palestinians being forced to flee to somewhere other than America, then.

Absolutely SUPERB speech from @JanineBooth from last years U.K National Education Workers Union. A massive rallying cry for support for Ukrainian educators, and Ukraine in gen. And a decisive condemnation of a motion from Soviet-Left non socialists to collapse support for 🇺🇦. 👏
Another upcoming UK union conferences and Ukraine - the National Education Union (NEU), a school workers' union with around 1/2 a million members. To start this 🧵 a video from delegate Janine Booth speaking at NEU conference last year.
