OK, I've read the motion:
Zionism is racism. Anyone doubting that should not be taken seriously.
If I was a party member I would've voted for the motion. I support its intent and (mostly) its content.
Some who question whether it was strategically wise also make valid points.
Well said. And if you find yourself in disagreement with Save the Children (and other similar charities) here because you think Starmer is a good man whose hands are clean, may I suggest some introspection!
This is your legacy on the occupied Palestinian territory, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. History will remember your complicity.
Despite a partial arms suspension in 2024, Keir Starmer's government has continued to enable Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, their families and children through the supply of F-35 fighter jet parts.
Nothing can change the horrors Palestinians have faced. But the next Prime Minister has an opportunity to put an end to the UK Government's role as an ally to atrocities.
The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms sales to Israel
🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement
🔴 Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements
To the next Prime Minister: what will your plaque say?

Very obvious that if Reform come to power, they will lock people up for criticising them.

For as long as Labour exists as a cartel, divorced from a mass base, it will remain a playground for lobbyists and consultants whose interests directly oppose those of the majority.
Starmer learned this lesson the hard way. Now, it's Burnham's turn.

As pundits rush to portray Keir Starmer as a ‘decent man’ overwhelmed by events, they overlook the defining feature of his political career: a willingness to deceive and betray in pursuit of power. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/06/goo…

🚨 In more than 25 years of working on terrorism cases, I never thought I would see terrorism legislation used in a way that blurs the line between genuine national security concerns and the policing of political expression and protest.
The sentencing of the Filton 4 raises profound questions about the direction of our justice system. Counter-terrorism laws exist to protect the public from serious threats, not to chill political dissent, including direct action protest.
If we are not careful, we risk setting a dangerous precedent, one that many will view as driven not by principle, but by a desire to shield Israel from criticism.
I strongly oppose what happened in this case today.
🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists
Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.
It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.
The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.
Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.
The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.
Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.
Read our position:

ALT Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists, use of terrorism laws against protesters must end
I don't agree with all of this. Starmer pretended to be left wing before he got elected leader, Burnham is telling us openly he won't be.

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

Absolutely shambolic start to Andy Burnham's "campaign". How can he pitch himself as "change" when his first policy moves are to reveal himself as continuity Reeves and continuity Mahmood?

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.
