Labour is a broad church or it is nothing.
The motives of most people who attack Diane Abbott are suspect.

Brilliant news! I am delighted to announce our campaign has received 342 nominations and I have now formally accepted nomination.
There is no precedent in our union for a campaign for change to receive such depth of support from every corner of our union.
This is a fantastic achievement and I would like to thank every branch which has supported and built our campaign.
This is our opportunity to win a new start for our union and we will take it.

Palestinians are oppressed by BOTH Israel AND Hamas
Hamas is clerical fascist dictatorship
It executes critics
No right of Palestinians to protest or strike
No free speech or media freedom
Hamas is homophobic, sexist & antisemitic. Not a genuine liberation movement like ANC

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
They pollute rivers, rake in billions, and now want us to pay more?! OFWAT plans a historic water bill hikeโ weโre pushing back.

Uri Weltmann of the leadership of Standing Together in Israel sent this letter today to the Fire Brigades Union, protesting in London against the seizure by the Israeli government of a fire engine they provided to Palestinians in the West Bank. We thank our @FBU comrades!

Scottish firefighters donated a fire engine to Palestinian firefighters in the West Bank but Israelโs government has seized it to stop it being used there. London members of @FBU are lobbying the Israeli embassy TODAY 5-7pm to protest the seizure - meet @ Kensington High St!
I shall not be posting on this site again. Elon Musk is a far right authoritarian and no-one on the Left nor anyone else who believes in democracy should have any truck with anything he says, does or owns! Goodbye Twitter!

At this time of unbearable tension and fear @omdimbeyachad contine to take to the streets to demand a better future for all Israelis and Palestinians.
Thank you to everyone out last night calling for end to the war, a hostage deal and long-term peace. Our hearts are with you.

Venezuelans deserve free and transparent democratic elections.
The full vote tallies from every polling station in the country must be released, in line with Venezuelan law, and the authorities must refrain from using force against peaceful protestors.

Anti-Muslim hatred is at the cutting edge of racism in Britain and an organising tool for fascists. It is a weapon against multiculturalism. This is why concessions to it are so dangerous and why solidarity with Muslims in Britain is so important.

7m Palestinians will continue living alongside 7m Jewish Israelis. They will retain 88m Iranian near neighbours, + 22m Syrians, 33m Yemenis & 5m Lebanese. Pretending there are no limits to power, & you can always live by the sword is a dangerous security concept, not resilience!

And it is shameful that @lloyd_rm isn't isn't there to continue leading this work. Many of us look forward to this 'investigation' clearing Lloyd's name and putting it on the reselection ballot for @KemptownLabour.

We marched in Tel-Aviv tonight - both Jewish as well as Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel - to demand a ceasefire agreement that would bring back the hostages and stop the killing of innocents in Gaza. We need to replace occupation & war, with Israeli-Palestinian peace. ๐ฃ
