Amazing scenes in Paris yesterday. 800,000 students, workers and Yellow Vests together against the government.
The government, media and the police trying to turn it into a law and order issue but this is a social revolt that is spreading across the continent.
The question of welfare not warfare is ever-present here on the placards and banners and next week French left MPs @LegavreJerome and @DanieleObono will be joining us on our UK tour to explain why and how the protests in France are unfolding and how they relate to the anti-war movement in Britain.
@ShabbirLakha reports from Paris.

Hundreds of thousands are still marching in Paris. Tens of thousands have marched in cities across France, including in Marseille where protesters got into the town hall. Macron is about to holda Crisis meeting. The movement is spreading and the government is panicking #17octobre

You & your colleagues, by weaponising antisemitism for factional gain, have undermined the crucial struggle against actual antisemitism. But yeah, continue your smug self congratulations while Jews & Muslims suffer the consequences @bphillipsonMP
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

Despite the brutal police repression, today’s demonstration in Paris is the biggest one yet with hundreds of thousands of people. Central Paris is completely shut down. #17octobre #MacronDémission

Israel is a terror state. It should be made a pariah. The settlers can do this only thanks to the support of the state of Israeli and its occupying forces. The settlers' fascistic representatives are *in the government*. One has responsibility for internal, domestic security.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

I am told that today’s demonstration in Paris is one of the biggest ever.
Paris is apparently completely blocked with school students, workers, the Yellow Vests and university students.
But there are huge demos in other cities too!

This is so powerful.
Labour are still arming a genocide.
We'll take no moral lectures from them when we're a party that are pushing for equal human rights for all.

And people say the anti-war movement in Britain hasn’t been successful…
This is good news, and something to build on in the coming period.
Half of Britons say there are no circumstances in which they would go to war for their country, a poll has found.
Just 36 per cent said there were circumstances in which they would fight. Read our analysis to understand what these numbers suggest ⬇️

Replying to @bphillipsonMP
If you’re serious about eradicating antisemitism you and your party will stop conflating Zionism with Judaism and recognise that the Green Party motion made a clear distinction between Zionism and Jews.
You won’t do this though as you have form for weaponising antisemitism.
Tony Wilson UNISON NEC member NW Region 2009 2025 retweeted
Antisemitism is serious.
That’s precisely why it should never be weaponised as a political football. Labour doing so should disgust people across every community.
And all this while they continue to arm a genocide and lock up pensioners.
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.
