Shabana Mahmood statement in parliament today is embarrassing, essentially clowning for an Israeli football club. And I'd love to know how all the UK "Jewish Community" (Mahmood's words) feel about being made default Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.

Watching the Iran protests on #channel4News I see a lot about politicians and media types in the US and UK getting excited about democracy in Iran...which is nice to see a change from not giving a toss about protests against genocide or wannabe kings.

I imagine a lot of notable people have noted: if these crackpot hacks can monster fuck out of a chief constable and get him fired over nothing, as part of their endless psycho struggle to secure maximum freedom for right wing racists and fascists, then they can probably do that to anyone now.

A constant blazing terror that somewhere, somebody might be getting a free cheese sandwich. Or indeed brief use of a wheelchair.

Everyone involved knows Mel is a virulently racist fascist lunatic with horrendous views on the use of massive, murderous violence against civilians. But there she still is on Sky News, because her crackpottery is well within acceptable opinion, for our political/media class.

The UK must follow Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia’s lead and boycott Eurovision.
We cannot have “business as usual” with Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

@channel4news.bsky.social on waste dumping, in Hopewood. It's always on the Police, Council and Environment Agency who between them do nothing. What is needed is a new nationalised waste and recycling department, with a new Minister, more green jobs. Make illegal dumping a profitless activity.

#GWR and South-West MPs from Devon & Cornwall, tossing themselves silly with PR for failing rail by introducing slightly better WiFi! When College students couldn't get on/off trains or paying £1500 a year just to get to college or apprenticeship, not a GWR spokesperson in sight! #BBCSpotlight

The nastiest fascists in their government said almost straight away that the plan was to drastically cull the civilian populace, demolish as much of the strip as possible and then herd the survivors into a much smaller, more concentrated camp. And that is what they have now done.

Today, England's water companies received their worst pollution ratings since records began.
Rising bills. Soaring profits. Sewage in our rivers and seas.
Enough is enough. Bring water back into public ownership, now.

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.
This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

Genuinely think the whole of the Labour front bench is on some new brand of Spice over this Maccabi Tel Aviv thing. The Lisa Nandy clown act at the dispatch box was especially embarrassing.
