Jason Arday has tragically died after a vicious campaign of press hounding and harassment. We urgently need an inquiry into the culture of the press. Add your name to demand one now: hackedoff.org/campaign-actio…

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country. Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza. That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind. The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

I’ll never forget Keir Starmer’s island of strangers speech and how he fanned the flames of hateful anti-immigration rhetoric that is radicalising people & making the country less safe for us all. What a legacy to leave behind as a Labour leader.

"If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know: Jews all over the world are not responsible for the actions of the Zionist State of Israel! Israel doesn't represent the Jewish people!" -Rabbi Yakoov Shapiro in Jerusalem.

If you are banned from Social Media in the UK your sources of information are the BBC, Sky News, GB News, Daily Mail, The Sun, Telegraph... All of who will conveniently never ever say a bad thing about Israel, ever.

Just in case you’re wondering what kind of place the UK is, a few jewish ambulances being set on fire will bring about more COBRA meetings and hysterical mass media coverage than actual people being burned out of their homes by masked gangs rampaging through the streets.

Let's be honest with ourselves but the BBC did much of the heavy lifting to normalise Nigel Farage and his racism.

I've been talking to a lot of press since I got banned from the UK. Media has been trained to believe the feelings of people who are pro-genocide are more important than lives of 23,000 Palestinian children. Their deaths are a minor problem, offending Zionists is a huge problem!

The British government is saying they're banning me because I am "a serious risk to the public order" due to my criticism of Israel. They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don't know if facts will soon be banned in Britain. I didn't get banned for criticizing the UK, but for criticizing Israel. They broke the irony record by saying it was because I said Israel might control other governments. I wonder if they're going to ban themselves. Think about it - if I had said that the Israeli government controls the British government so thoroughly that they'll ban someone from coming to the UK just for criticizing Israel, they would have said that was an antisemitic statement. This is absolutely Kafkaesque.

It's an honor to have made Israel's enemies list. I'm very proud to have fought against their genocide. The mighty United Kingdom is afraid of speech that shows you who's responsible for those war crimes. But no amount of censorship will get us to stop telling the truth.

Next time a visibly Muslim woman is mowed down with a car, violently attacked, or women of colour are raped by far-right thugs, remember the scenes of these “Christian” harlots dehumanising our niqabi sisters.

Funny they’ve never suggested a special police force to protect women. We just have to put up with the one that has a history of murdering and raping us, and photographing our naked bodies after we’re murdered in parks.
Sir Mark Rowley said that they need special police force to protect Jews.

Three empty ambulances received infinitely more news coverage and political commentary than this. Which says it all about the hierarchy of racism in this country.
This is why including Sikhs within the definition of Islamophobia matters, as it is a form of racism. Racists are not clever, as shown by John Ashby. He raped a Sikh woman because he thought she was Muslim He attacked her because she was a Brown woman he perceived to be Muslim
