It takes a certain type of brain rot and/or flagrant dishonesty to argue that a Jewish lawyer being interviewed by a Jewish journalist and praised by another Jewish journalist constitutes a campaign against Jewish children – but that's Ben Kentish for you!

Labour MPs celebrating El-Sayed's victory is the height of political hypocrisy.
A politician with his positions on Israel and Palestine would be smeared as an antisemite, hounded and deemed unelectable within their own party.
They'll applaud his politics in America while doing everything in their power to silence the same politics in Britain.
The audacity of it.

🧵1/2: Labour is playing politics with peoples lives.
Greens have always gritted our teeth and worked across party lines to protect local services. When Labour armed Israel, when they backed warmongers in Riyadh, we put aside national politics and worked for local people.

Well. We shall see what Adrian says - I hope this is misreporting. But can we be clear that there is no contradiction between speaking out for human rights and for nature. Why on earth would environmentalists tolerate genocide? Humans being nature after all! People and planet. Both.

Veteran Israeli actress and longtime patriot Chelli Goldenberg declared live on air: “I’m no longer proud to be Israeli.”
She condemned Israel’s occupation and settler violence, then abruptly ended the interview upon realizing she was live—only to return and apologize.

Pretty grim stuff from an estate in South London where a housing association sold the homes to a property management company which is now attempting to push through evictions and convert the houses to HMOs

It's a busy news day, but this from Haringey is outrageous.
Today the Regulator of Social Housing published an inspection, and it turns out the previous Labour council seemingly misled them about thousands of fire-safety issues in local council housing.

Solidarity and thanks to @EdinburghGreens MSP Kate Nevins, @labourlewis, @nickdearden75, @SamTarry and @larabirdsnp who tried to get into the West Bank from Jordan to help with the olive harvest today, but were turned back by Israeli soldiers.
I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs @labourlewis, @larabirdsnp, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP @SamTarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

Small news item today

The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”.
What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure.
In what world is that left wing?

I've been revisiting @UKLabour's 2024 manifesto, and some of the commitments are extraordinary given where we are today...
- Defend the international rule of law.
- Uphold international law in Gaza.
- Recognise Palestinian statehood as an inalienable right.
- Reject new oil and gas exploration because it worsens the climate crisis.
These weren't demands from protesters.
THEY WERE LABOUR'S OWN PROMISES!
The government shouldn't need reminding what the principles are. It already wrote them down and commited to them!
The question is why those principles become negotiable the moment defending them carries a political cost.

Mike Tapp: 'Zionism isn't ethnic cleansing!'
Shehab Khan: 'So why can a Jewish guy in London get Israeli citizenship but a displaced Palestinian can't?'
Mike Tapp: '...I didn't know that. That doesn't sound equal to me.'
The absolute intellectual collapse. He spent whole time defending the ideology, only to admit he doesn't know how it actually works on the ground

I'm fond of Miatta but this isn't good.
The Labour Party is forcing her to back policies she clearly does not support.
We don't do that in the Greens. I'm never asked to lie. When someone asks me a question, I tell them what I think.
Today I made what was meant to be a light-hearted self-deprecating remark. I didn’t get it right and it hasn’t come off as I intended.
I fully support our Home Secretary and the government’s position on migration reform.
As I said earlier this week, it’s absolutely right that people should have to make a contribution to this country in order to earn citizenship.

"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?"

.@TheGreenParty conference motion demands Israel is replaced by a single Palestinian state
This is NOT the policy of Palestinian leaders such as Marwan Barghouti. They support a two-state solution. Greens should not tell Palestinians what to do! Amend the motion!

Absolutely horrifying. How can our government be planning to drill for new oil and gas when we know these are the consequences?
We have to keep the pressure on this Labour govt to keep all fossil fuels in the ground and secure a safe future for our children and grandchildren.

🧵UK media has been duped about net-zero (again)
The playbook is identical:
1️⃣ Find a big scary number
2️⃣ Speed-dial non-specialist hacks
3️⃣ Do say “serious economic damage”
4️⃣ Don’t say “we pretended gas is free”
5️⃣ That's it!
Many papers still fell for it 🤷

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn.
They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future.
Always follow the money.
