What does it tell us that Israel recognises a full fat fascist, white supremacist & racist as one of their own?

Hard to overstate just how warm the welcome was for Robinson in Tel Aviv. British-Israelis and Israelis alike all welcomed him as an ally. Robinson was welcomed to friendly chants, applause– and a standing ovation.

One man who stood up to say "Tommy Robinson is a racist," was assaulted + span on.

Starmer's Labour is the government of hardship, not welfare.

His whole focus is on stripping welfare back continually in every budget. This government is the enemy of the people, dismantling all that is good.

Warfare, not welfare; wealth, not worth.

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she “can’t leave welfare untouched”.

Treasury considering axing up to £1bn in VAT and insurance premium tax breaks for a scheme providing cars for disabled people.

Silence on corporate welfare. Any chance of targeting the super-rich?

The Royal family paid Virginia Guiffre £12 million (of our taxes) in hush money.

Now they strip Andrew of his titles before shit hits the fan.

Always protecting their own interests - zero care for the victims.

The vile Starmer government it really targeting disabled people here.

A £1bn cut in the motability scheme, that gets cars for disabled people - I have a friend who needs this to live an independent life - out of a total of £2.8bn. That means it is cutting the scheme by more than ONE THIRD!

Rachel Reeves plots £1bn cut to Motability scheme which lets disability claimants access cars
The scheme provides cars and tax breaks to more than 800,000 users

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed more than 300 footballers. Its deliberate obliteration of civil infrastructure and cultural identity has destroyed every stadium and training pitch. A yet Fifa and Uefa take no action.

How many UK politicians now demanding that fans of an Isreali football club with far-right, violent Ultras must have their right to attend a match defended at any cost had anything to say about the complete destruction of Palestinian sporting infrastructure and the killing of 300+ football players?

Oh no! Zack changed his name back to his familial surname and wants equal rights for trans people!

Meanwhile Tice wants to destroy workers rights, wreck the climate and make the rich richer.

Clear and obvious who has the people’s best interests.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 8d

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.
