One thing is clear: renewables don’t fit within the political economy of neoliberal capitalism.

We have to choose between the profits of oil producers, and the health and prosperity of entire societies. But our politicians
care more about the former than the latter.

She was taken hostage by Palestinians 55 years ago. Now she’s an anti-Zionist activist.

Catherine Hodes was taken hostage by the PFLP at age 13 while traveling from Israel to the U.S. The experience sparked a lifelong commitment to Palestinian liberation.

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the 'ceasefire'

It is now two weeks since the Labour Party Conference motion was passed, but still the government refuses to recognise the genocide in Gaza and allows the supply of weapons to Israel.

Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · 3h

People are being shut out of politics.

Your Party has a radical plan to change that: by forging a mass, democratic party from the ground up.

Read my piece for @theguardian.com here: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Voters' voices are being shut out of British politics. Your Party has a radical plan to change that | Jeremy Corbyn

At our conference in November we will use a jury service-type model to allow members to discuss and decide policy, strategy and even the name of our party, says Your Party co-leader Jeremy Corbyn

There are many questions our government and indeed our press do not want to answer. Like why call innocent Palestinians kidnapped, prisoners not hostages, what the difference is between Hamas, and the French resistance, why killing thousands of Palestinians is ok….etc
