“Hundreds sign up for Feinstein’s insurgent campaign as Starmer’s odds lengthen: Bookies slash odds on Feinstein winning and Labour’s campaign numbers fail to impress”
“Former #ANC MP and #Mandela aide Andrew #Feinstein’s campaign to replace Keir #Starmer as MP for #Holborn and St Pancras has been boosted by an extraordinary flood of volunteers and campaigners – in numbers that appear to dwarf those of the local Labour Party.
Feinstein’s campaign has confirmed that as of last week over 740 #volunteers had signed up to assist his campaign via the official campaign website. Feinstein is holding a ‘super weekender’ campaign this weekend to capitalise on the strong response and volunteers have been canvassing, door-knocking, leafleting, posting flyers and phone-banking.”
“[..] betting companies are starting to pay attention, slashing odds on Feinstein’s insurgent campaign replacing Starmer.”
#UK / Labour pledges to recognise Palestinian state as part of peace process
[…] "Palestinian statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people," said Labour's election manifesto - the collection of policies it gott by would enact if it forms the next government.
[…] "We are committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to a renewed peace process which results in a two-state solution with a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state."
Only the imperial hegemony and its neo-liberal colonialist lackey states like #Britain are still yammering on about a “two-state solution”
#Israel has constructed 00s of illegal settlements across the West Bank which are populated by ~800k rabid #Zionist settlers!
Even if Netanyahu agreed (which he won’t - ever!) who’s gonna force those heavily-armed fanatical religious settlers out of their homes and back into Israel proper so that Palestinians can have their Israel-dominated mini-state?
One thing’s for sure - it isn’t gonna be Israel! So who: Britain? The US? NATO?
Fuck off #Starmer! This is just more of your lies; more lip-service paid to Palestinian freedom driven more by concern for your own legal position as a genocide enabler than anything else!
“The UK government just released figures on genocidal arms deals it’s done with Israel: [left-ish Labour MP] John McDonnell says the figures show UK ‘complicity in the IDF war crimes’”
“Under pressure, the Department of Business and Trade has revealed that Rishi #Sunak’s government approved 42 military export licenses to Israel from 7 October 2023 to 31 May 2024. Of these, five are open licenses. This means they greenlight unlimited exports of specified items under just one license.
Reacting to the figures, former shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the:
‘#UK now has no defence from charges of #complicity in the IDF war crimes’
The information release does include the value of the arms. It also does not specify exactly what they are”
