“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”

by Skwawkbox @skwawkbox

@UKLabour

“Former MP and aide Andrew ’s campaign to replace Keir as MP for 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 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.”

/ 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."

This is total bollocks @UKLabour

Only the imperial hegemony and its neo-liberal colonialist lackey states like are still yammering on about a “two-state solution”

has constructed 00s of illegal settlements across the West Bank which are populated by ~800k rabid 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 ! 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!

“‘Put a cross that doesn’t feel like you’re marking it in blood,’ says independent challenger to LFI’s Peter : meets Tanushka

by Ed Sykes in The Canary @thecanaryuk @thecanary

@palestine @israel

“In a final message to people disenchanted with the way Britain’s political system is working today, she [Marah] emphasised:

‘We are here to give people an opportunity to partake in democracy. And who knows? It could actually get some of us independents into power to hold what will be a Labour government to account and to not let them wield as much power and arrogance as they think they can.

So even if it is just to participate and put a cross in a box that doesn’t feel like you’re marking it in blood, just vote independent, vote Green, vote for the people who are standing for humanity. It’s urgent that you do that, and you have to do that.’”
