State violence on children 🧵
Boosted by @trending@homestead.social
#Labour is well and truly in the pocket of #AI companies. The lobbying is constant and ongoing. It’s the latest revolving door for ministers.
‘38 ministers, senior civil servants and special advisers hired to positions in AI companies between July 2024 and September 2026.’
There is no equivalence in relationship say for environmental groups or even child safety groups.
It tells you who Labour prioritises and it’s not people or our planet.
“UK BOOSTS SAUDI SUPPORT AFTER IT KILLS YEMENI CIVILIANS”

“Britain is expanding its aerial refuelling of Saudi fighter jets to include bombing raids on Yemen, despite a major spike in civilians being killed in these airstrikes.
Wes Streeting initially said the UK would only provide air-to-air refuelling for Saudi jets patrolling the kingdom’s skies to ward off drone and missile attacks on airports and oil infrastructure by Yemen’s Houthi movement.
The defence secretary is now letting British fighter jets join those patrols, as well as providing refuelling for Saudi airstrikes on ‘Houthi military targets in Yemen’”

This, and please excuse my language, is absolute, bugfuck, pants-on-head, insane. One of UK's most critically acclaimed living authors (who isn't a walking hate speech or abuser), has had her books pulled by her publisher because of the laws against #PalestineAction.
#Irish novelist Sally #Rooney said her books can no longer be sold in the #UK because she financially supports the banned group #Palestine Action.
Rooney, 35, is the critically praised author of four novels: “Conversations with Friends,” “Normal People,” “Beautiful World, Where are You” and “Intermezzo.”
I remind you that all of this nonsense is happening under the nominally moderate #Labour party.
As an American, I say to fellow USians as we close in on midterms, remember that Labour proves centrists are better than rightwing, but they are not our friends. They're still bootlickers.

Nothing says “change” more than *checks notes* a grey image of a sixty-something white professional man in a shirt and tie with his sleeves rolled up very slightly, with an expression that suggests you’re parking in the spot he usually parks in, which tbf is not a designated parking spot, but he usually parks there and everyone around here knows that, and he accepts that you’re new here, but maybe next time you could remember that, by the way do you follow the football. #ukpol #labour
Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling
Drilling has become a controversial topic for the #Labour party after the 2024 manifesto pledged to not issue new licenses.

"You were right" says Ed Miliband, while Labour carries on locking up protesters, who are in the right, for the audacity of showing up the British Government
Meanwhile Far Right terrorists are called 'Activists' and given the gentlest touch by our security services.

Report: Merseyside police arrest pensioners at Burnham’s First Labour Conference
One 94-yo Jewish protestor:
“Whatever Miliband said about the illegal occupation of the West Bank, he did not call it a genocide & he did not ban all arms to Israel."
"I am here because I want Andy Burnham to lift the ban – not later, right now – to call it a genocide & stop arming Israel.”

"The latest polling suggests #Labour could get as few as 136 seats if it does not change its red lines on #Brexit and sticks with the status quo, while #ReformUK would be on 300. The number of seats for Labour increases to 256 with a commitment to join the customs union, 257 with a promise to join the single market and 321 if Mr Burnham pledges to rejoin the EU entirely."

Just a reminder that the Labour Party, which is flooding the UK with third-world (including Muslim) rapists and murderers, is financed by the Pissrael lobby.

Israel lobby funded half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet
Exclusive: Labour’s top team has accepted hundreds of thousands of pounds from pro-Israel funders.
JOHN McEVOY
9 July 2024
Pro-Israel lobbyists have donated to 13 out of Labour’s 25 cabinet members since they were first elected to parliament, Declassified can reveal.
The list of recipients includes prime minister Keir Starmer, his deputy Angela Rayner, chancellor Rachel Reeves, foreign secretary David Lammy and home secretary Yvette Cooper.
Jonathan Reynolds, who will oversee arms exports to Israel as UK trade secretary, is another beneficiary, alongside Labour’s election mastermind Pat McFadden, whose responsibilities now include national security.
Some of the donations were provided by Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), a lobby group which takes MPs on “fact-finding” missions to the region.

RT: @SpiritOfAttlee This is the whole argument in two sentences.
“Difficult decisions” always means the same thing. The nurse pays. The renter pays. The man with a heat pump invoice pays. The men with the £72 million do not.
Holborn is not a student protest. It is the first chance to put a Green leader on the floor of the Commons and force Labour to stop governing like Starmer.
Zack is not inevitable just because he is nice.
He is inevitable because every other option has already told you who the difficult decision is for.
