Opinion I The real problem with private members’ clubs

🖋️ Yasmin alibhai-brown trib.al/v3j2A5B

Ok so Diane Abbott is still being investigated after apologising over a year ago. Kate Osamor does not have the whip for naming a genocide a genocide but a woman who defended her sex offender, imprisoned husband and mocked survivors of rape is now a Labour MP???

Starmer’s Labour kicked out Jeremy Corbyn. Embraced Natalie Elphicke MP. All you need to know.

Almost six million people have looked at the GOP threatening letter we published yesterday - have you?

One of the rather tenuous excuses for cutting Sangita Myska from LBC was some dip in audience ratings. Well, with nearly 35k signing a petition to reinstate her - something I can't recall seeing with another radio presenter - perhaps there's a different audience metric here

Natalie Elphicke? NATALIE ELPHICKE?!?!She’s welcome in Labour now is she? Yeah damn straight the party’s changed, Keir. Who gets to be cheerfully welcomed in next while Diane Abbott remains suspended? Iain Duncan Smith? Jacob Rees Mogg? Fucking Skeletor?

So Natalie Elphicke is a Labour MP and Diane Abbott isn't. That's a clear message to antiracists.

Shocking.
Tory party has gathered 1,300 pages of info about Good Law Project boss Jo Maugham and shared with right wing papers & PR firms.

Govt has gathered files on librarians and teaching assistants....

Just how long until they go full on fascist?

Indiscriminate bombing

Netanyahu is a monster. He leads a fascist government and seeks genocide

Biden, Sunak and Starmer enabled and supported his slaughter of innocent people.

They are all guilty.

This is why Al Jazeera English is crucial, look at the professionalism shown here. No belittling, no interruptions. And also, this student/activist is all over her brief!

With their eyes full of tears, the Kuwaiti medical delegation, that came to relieve the injured in Gaza, was compelled to leave the besieged strip due to the Israeli occupation's intense bombing of Rafah.

The Government must publicly call for an urgent ceasefire & implore Israel to end this heart-rending attack on Rafah.

A full-scale attack would be a tragedy, killing countless more innocent Palestinians, displacing families & making it harder than ever to provide lifesaving aid.

'I was in a line of mostly older women, most of us Jewish'

Body slammed twice, dragged face-down, knelt upon.

**they [riot police] said to me what they've said to so many victims of police brutality: 'you're talking—you can breathe'**

Every word of this report is astonishing, horrifying and dark

Was it Benjamin Netanyahu, your former boss, who propped up Hamas for the past decade?

Oh wait, no, you meant me, the brown Muslim guy who must be Hamas. Gotcha.

The politicians condemning Netanyahu's invasion of Rafah are the same ones who insisted that cutting off food, water, and electricity to Gaza back in October was the the right thing to do.

The Madeleine McCann investigation has just been given another £192K 17 years after she went missing in Portugal.

In other news there's still fuck all happening to trace the 200 unaccompanied asylum seeking children that Priti Patel lost in this country in January 2023.

The fact that these attacks have started the same week the Green Party have had historic results makes the real motives here more than utterly blatant.

And again, as a Jewish person - this treating of antisemitism as a game makes me feel considerably less safe - not more so.
