Since the so called "Jewish Labour Movement" have reacted badly to their public criticism.

Jewish - No. Lots of them aren't
Labour - they're the party that protect capital.
Movement - What? The tiny few who embarrass themselves publically.

thejc.com/news/politics/… This is a group who say "we should learn from them."

I see a group that have not criticised Luke Akehurst despite him as a non Jewish person trying to police mine - and others Judaism.

They've not even criticised their government who are actively arming a genocide.

Clive is bang on.

This is very basic stuff Labour are getting so completely wrong.

People who are struggling are not benefiting from hawks like Blackrock being given partnerships.

Not only are they not benefiting - they're a huge part of the reason that inequality is so huge. And we've literally just seen this play out in the US.

If reports are to be believed "Labour figures" were advising on their disastrous strategy.

You present nothing but status quo with a bit more support for the elites: you not only open door for the far right - you invite

Two years ago this month I had the huge honour of being elected Deputy Leader of @TheGreenParty.

I'm so proud of the leadership team, our membership & everything we've achieved together.

Here's some highlights to mark the moment!

1/ 🧵 Zack with members and signs saying Vote Green. When I was first elected, I pledged for us to be seen and heard on the media more.

We've still got a long way to go but the party is becoming much better known.

So many examples - heres an international one - speaking to @amanpour on CNN about our climate solutions.

Our economic model has failed so many whilst further enriching the wealthy few.

🧵👇🏼

1/5 Now right wing opportunists exploit that failure to spread hatred against minorities and asylum seekers.

We desperately need change but it needs to be real hope and real change.

You have days where you could get angry or frustrated at how the system is not working - or at least is working only for the powerful & super rich.

But amongst that is just immense hope at the resilience of people who come together to demand better.

My day so far:

1/5 I've been out with @DimensionsUK.

Brilliant work supporting people in need but now their workers need our support.

76,000 people have signed petition we took to No 10.

Close to 100,000 required for Parliament debate. Please sign!

Keir 'Two-Face' Starmer? Here are just some of his recent highlights... 🧵 Weakening Labour's green investment pledge... ft.com/content/07523b…

Liz Truss vs Rishi Sunak for Prime Minister is a very grim state of affairs.

It shouldn't overshadow though Keir Starmer saying Proportional Representation "is not a priority."

The pandemic, partygate & the awful roll back of our rights all stem from a total lack of democracy. Of course Truss and Sunak's politics are awful.

But by defending first past the post, Keir Starmer is essentially ensuring that we have more Tory Governments for the rest of our lives despite the majority of the country voting left or left of centre.

When will Labour get this?

Politicians are entitled to have private conversations & in balance particularly those in cabinet have a responsibility to be open & transparent in their views. Liz Truss, Chief Secretary, speaking loudly in a public restaurant at lunch; /Thread 1/13 I respect that people will be concerned about invasion of privacy & I respect that instinct. Ultimately though this is a public conversation of a very senior figure who says one thing on TV & clearly believes differently. We have a right to know & it's pretty damning. 2/13
