Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️

🚨On Tuesday the Prime Minister will order MPs to vote to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury. It’s a move that will set us on a path to toward authoritarian justice.

MPs must step up and tell him NO

The Courts and Tribunals Bill will remove your right to a jury trial for serious criminal offences.

Toff magistrates/judges will decide your fate.

Chances of miscarriage of justice will increase. Working class, poor, minorities will be the biggest losers.

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed.
Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points.
@greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them!
The majority of the UK is with me, no more illegal wars!

Forgive me for my cynicism but I thought the art of politics was to tell voters you are going to do something and then once you are in power do something completely different.

Corruption. Nothing less can describe the scale of this influence. I asked ministers this week if they would cap donations at the same time as asking about openness on lobbying meetings, and this was the part of the question they refused to answer.

Because the racists he’s trying to appease are not appeased, and anyone with a souls is utterly disgusted.

It really isn’t that hard to understand, huns.

Zack Polanski pressures Wes Streeting over Palantir after Mandelson texts released ZACK Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantir’s NHS contracts after the Health Secretary’s newly-released text messages…

A £240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.

“It won’t matter though. Starmer will go down as the worst PM in Labour history and one that may have finally broken it. He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions.

“Like a wounded animal, this government will drag itself away as it’s hacked at and pecked at till it expires, probably after the May locals,” said one leftwing Labour backbencher. “By then Starmer can resign on the grounds of those losses and not the reputational disaster of Epstein and Mandelson.

The rot runs right through this Labour government.

Starmer made Mandelson ambassador to the US despite knowing of his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He must go.

Streeting must cancel the NHS contract with Palantir which has Mandelson's hands all over it.

What a day! HUNDREDS of members were out yesterday to make sure the brilliant Hannah Spencer gets elected in Gorton and Denton. 💚

It's clear that the choice here is between Reform and the Greens. We have 25 days to prove that hope can win. Action days are super fun, join us at our next one!

Totally agree but you need to start the debate with the leadership of your own party.. or join the Greens maybe?

Fair enough. I agree with you on most of that but why are you ridiculing the demonstrators? Does Scottish Labour have a different policy regarding Palestine Action?
