Israel killed eight people including a child in Gaza this weekend as they continue their genocide.
After a weekend of arresting pensioners for protesting against this horror, Labour has today collapsed local agreements putting Israel far above serving our local communities.

RT: @implausibleblog I've watched BBC Breakfast and BBC News this morning and seen just a handful of mentions of the latest scandal involving Reform UK, following ITV News's investigation into racist, sexist and threatening remarks by party representatives.
Compare that with the seemingly endless, rolling coverage Nigel Farage receives whenever he makes an announcement. The anticipation beforehand, the live coverage during, the analysis afterwards, followed by endless discussion of what it might all mean.
Yet when serious questions arise about the conduct of Reform UK representatives, where is that same intensity of scrutiny?
I'm disappointed by the BBC's apparent lack of urgency and prominence in covering this story.
The BBC's Royal Charter commits it to providing impartial news and information that helps people understand and engage with the world around them.
That responsibility surely extends beyond amplifying political announcements to rigorously scrutinising those seeking or holding public office.
Impartiality doesn't mean giving every story equal airtime, but it should mean applying consistent editorial standards, regardless of the party involved.
The public deserves journalism that holds political power to account, not simply coverage that gives politicians a platform.

Apparently Sally Rooney is Antisemitic because she opposes genocide.
People in Ireland are Antisemitic because they oppose genocide.

He was subject of sustained and malicious media attacks which were no doubt more vicious because he was Black.
We must now reflect on the impact of a trial by some of the media and online on someone under extreme pressure.

"This neoliberal turn of the 80s has not been a huge success for the middle class and for average living standards"
"The big promise that was made in the 80s by Reagan and Thatcher was, look, we are going to kill off progressive taxation, maybe inequality will rise, but the size of the pie is going to grow so fast like you've never seen."
"Average wages, average income are going to grow like you've never seen. And so everybody will be happy."
"30 years later, 40 years later. When I look at Brexit or when I look at the Trumpist United States, I don't see, very happy people."
"And I think partly because of the failure of this promise and this is why right wing parties in these two countries, the Republican in the US and the Conservative and now Reform Party in Britain, have turned anti migrant toward identity politics because they have not delivered on the economic front and on living standards"

RT: @implausibleblog Firefighter James Rodgers speaking alongside Zack Polanski, on the need to address climate change
"When people talk about climate change, they often talk about the year 2050. I’m a firefighter. I want to talk about now, because for firefighters, climate change isn’t a prediction, it’s a shift we’re already working. Climate change is the fire call to multiple back gardens alight, children’s clothing burning on the washing line."
"Climate change is the acrid smell as you effect entry into a flat because someone has succumbed to heat stroke and hasn’t been checked on in weeks. Climate change is the sound of people in floods of tears when they’re stuck in a lift 20 floors up in 30-degree heat."
"Climate change is the taste of dust in your dry mouth watching a fire sweep uncontrollably across a park you used to play football in as a child in your summer holidays. Climate change is this becoming a day-to-day reality."
"This week I’ve spoken to my colleagues from all over the United Kingdom and they have said no one wants to admit it, but the heat is getting to all of us. We’re getting shorter with each other and we’re finishing jobs feeling like we’ve done a full day’s work even before lunch."
"Another said, my station gets very hot inside and there isn’t a place I can find relief from the heat whilst at work. It leaves me having more headaches and brain fog, less able to do my job after 24 years in the job. Another firefighter said to me, when are we finally going to get the workwear designed for this climate?"
"Everyone who works in the fire brigade is feeling the exhaustion. We expect the fires, we expect the floods, we expect the road traffic collisions. What we didn’t expect was for the extreme heat itself to become the emergency."
"Not just for the public, for the people responding to it too. Climate change is rapidly changing the conditions in which every part of our job happens. Make no mistake, we will turn up. Don’t fear the sound of our sirens – it’s the sound of help on its way."
"We will keep responding, we will keep adapting. The question isn’t whether us firefighters will do our job, the question is whether the rest of us are willing to do ours. The climate crisis is stretching the fire service long before it makes headlines."
"And whilst the same debates continue to happen, whilst fossil fuels are exploited from the earth for the profit of the few, our jobs are getting harder, days longer, resources thinner and incidents more severe."
"Major fires can start with a single spark. Every solution starts with a decision to act. Every action that cuts emissions, protects our green spaces, teaches our children to care, supports resilience or helps a vulnerable neighbour matters."
"Our future isn’t decided by one big decision, but millions of small ones. And the longer we wait, the harder it becomes for communities, for governments and, yes, for firefighters too. Because the climate crisis isn’t coming."
"It’s calling 999."

Combined with recent reporting by The Sunday Times and others, serious questions are being asked about political donations, due diligence and whether our electoral laws are fit for purpose.
If wealthy donors can exploit loopholes to channel money into politics, Parliament needs to ask whether the rules are protecting democracy or simply creating the appearance of transparency.
Democracy depends on voters knowing who is funding those seeking power.

RT: @nprofile…ey8f Andy Burnham addressed an arms fair attended by Israeli weapons firms, while his new defence minister Wes Streeting promised military spending would take priority over other areas.
In a video address that played at the Farnborough airshow before Streeting gave a speech, Burnham said “we are going to reindustrialise this nation” and that increased spending on “defence” would play a key role.
Burnham wants to raise military spending from 2.6% of GDP to 3.5%, which would bring it to levels not seen since shortly after the end of the Cold War.
Streeting said in his speech that US president Donald Trump “is right” to tell European countries to spend more on defence. “That’s why we’ve committed £298bn over the next four years, including an additional £15bn on top of last year’s Spending Review settlement,” he said.
In a briefing after the speech, he said increased military spending would come at “an opportunity cost across government”, the Guardian reported.
Streeting was criticised this week after it was revealed he took over £50k from donors linked to Israeli weapons and to the military spytech firm Palantir.
Responding to Streeting and Burnham’s comments, journalist Paul Holden said on X: “This is stupid, short-sighted and ignorant. Defence spending is a terrible vector for economic growth, industrialisation and job creation… profits from defence spending will flow into the pockets of the 1%.
“If you are hoping to re-industrialise through defence spending it will cost you vastly more, engender huge waste through the industry's addiction to single-source procurement and widespread corruption, and lock the UK into a defence export regime that ties us to authoritarian dictatorships.”
Martin Abrams, the Green party’s leader of Lambeth Council, wrote on X: “Why was Andy Burnham addressing a UK arms fair with several Israeli arms manufacturers in attendance?”
These firms included Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries - all named by Amnesty International as “contributing to Israel’s unlawful occupation, genocide or other crimes under international law”.
“This is what complicity in genocide looks like,” Abrams said.

He hasn’t waited for the courts to decide there!
He speaks of the “terrible suffering” of Gaza, without naming the perpetrator - Israel.
No sign of any shift in government policy here.

RT: @donmcgowan The perpetuating myth that Farage is a 'man of the people' has long been one that foxed me.
Because, let's be honest, Nigel Farage is as much of a 'man of the people' as I am an Olympic gymnast.
From Commodities trader and fully paid up Thatcherite Conservative in the 80s and 90s — to multimillionaire gold elevator dweller, Farage has never seen himself or acted like a 'man of the people'.
Brexit made him a millionaire several times over, and he's been dining out on it ever since.
We can see a great deal of his earnings now as he is forced to declare them in his MPs Register of Interests, but many are still squirrelled away from the public eye.
Such as his commercial fishing trawler and, up to, seven houses bought with cash.
These are dealt with through his company Thorn in the Side Ltd. but there is more income he's hiding. We only know about the bonus £5M because of a leak to the Guardian, so what else is he covering up?
A property in the Cayman Islands? Perhaps.
But I digress slightly from the original point — Farage, 'man of the people', has never been accurate; it was a label he attached to himself during his UKIP days and must be amazed that the press still use it to this day.
His courting of Donald Trump is the icing on top of the golden cake he baked for himself.
Man of the people? No. Self constructed veneer of a wealthy grifter? Yes.
