Sonia Winifred quits Labour in disgust and says she has no confidence in leadership
A Black councillor in London’s Lambeth borough has quite the Labour party in disgust after being suspended for voting for a ceasefire motion put before the borough council in January.
Sonia Winifred announced her resignation on her social media this afternoon, saying that in voting for an immediate ceasefire she was representing her constituents in ‘wonderfully diverse’ Knights Hill:
Former Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott, Britain’s first Black woman MP – also suspended by Keir Starmer – responded with an unfavourable comparison of Labour’s current Stalinist and imperialist regime to the party that stood against South African apartheid a few decades ago:
Solidarity with Sonia Winifred, Diane Abbott and all those hounded by Starmer’s red Tory regime for standing up for justice and humanity.
Israel has so far killed at least 40,000 civilians in Gaza, maimed twice as many and is inflicting starvation and disease on more than two million innocents, half of whom are children.

Kudos. Another joins the fold.
Seems that the abandonment of conscience is a prerequisite in keef’s circus
The abandonment of humanity is a prerequisite for being in the labour party.
That’s not true Harry, and there are still a lot of good people in the LP doing good stuff locally, whether MPs or councillors or just members, whilst at the same time despising Starmer for everything he is and everything he does.
Indeed Toffee.
What the Zionist Starmer and his rag bag entourage of non-entities are supporting without exception can be seen here:

Head of Yeshiva Seder in Jaffa: According to the Halakhic Principle-Kill everyone in Gaza, even babies – ynet.co.il, Mar 8 2024 (machine translation)
“The head of the Seder yeshiva in Jaffa, whose students serve in the IDF after their studies there, said at a conference of Seder yeshiva held yesterday (Thursday) that according to the halakhic principle, all residents of Gaza should be killed. When asked specifically about the elderly and babies, he replied: “Same thing.”
…
“It’s either you – or them,” Rabbi Maley added. “No soul shall live on the basis of ‘Bring to kill you – bring to kill you’. Not just the 14-year-old, 16–year-old, 20-year-old, 30-year-old man holding up arms – but the future generation as well. And also for those who produce the future generation. Because there really is no difference.”
The Labour Party has gone Full Metal Nazi.
Should have done it sooner. Anyone still in that party and has an ounce of compassion should have left after the first atrocity. Nothing noble or heroic about seeing which way the wind blows. How many muslims in that constituency? Not just muslims but humanitarians. Galloway effect is unfolding. There’s gonna be loads.
Another ready made Independent candidate
So what on earth is JC going to do, in theory the GE could be in May
JC joining forces with Geordie Galloway would put rocket fuel into the independent movement, JC does the rallies and GG deals with the MSM and toilet papers
Doug – What (if anything) do Corbyn and Galloway have in common politically?
The following, which I just posted in the comments in the latest video by KernowDamo, is self explanatory:
Damo, could you please do a vid re ‘Mehdi Husan debunks top 7 lies about Gaza’, which JVL posted about ealier today, and which is also up on youtube, as of today, and ask all your subscribers and viewers to share it far and wide. As with so many things – the A/S smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn and the left, for example – the vast majority of us on the left know the truth, but millions of people out there (and that’s just in the UK) don’t know the truth, and they are the people we have to reach. And the only way we are can do that is by putting leaflets together and putting them through peoples doors, whether it’s 10 or 50 or a 100 or 500, directing people to articles (like the excellent article Jonathan Cook posted yesterday) and videos such as the Mehdi Husan video. There are hundreds of thousands of us, and between us we have the potential to reach tens of millions of people and expose all the lies and demonisation about the protesters etc, etc, etc. Thanks
Here’s a link to the Mehdi Husan video on youtube (5 mins)

PS And the suspension of Sonia for voting for a ceasefire motion is just another example of why we really REALLY have to shine a light on what the fascist scum are doing and wake everyone up to it.
Mehdi Hasan, that is!
The Center for Media Monitoring has just published this report:
Media Bias Gaza 2023-24
Report Examines Media Bias Coverage of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) today releases its latest report, ‘Media Bias Gaza 2023-24’, exposing significant biases in media coverage.
KEY FINDINGS
Language Utilisation: Emotive language describes Israelis as victims of attacks 11 times more than Palestinians.
Framing of Events: Most TV channels overwhelmingly promote “Israel’s right” to defend itself, overshadowing Palestinian rights by a ratio of 5 to 1.
In broadcast TV, Israeli perspectives were referenced almost three times more than Palestinian ones.
In online news it was almost twice as much.
Contextual Framing: 76% of online articles frame the conflict as an “Israel-Hamas war,” while only 24% mention “Palestine/Palestinian,” indicating a lack of context.
Misrepresentation and Undermining: Pro-Palestinian voices face misrepresentation and vilification by media outlets, perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
Right wing news channels and right-wing British publications were at the forefront of misrepresenting pro-Palestinian protestors as antisemitic, violent or pro Hamas.

Please share far and wide.
I just did a search in respect of something and ended up on the DMs website and, as such, came across the latest salvo (posted late last night, and no doubt in today’s paper) – they HAVE to keep their propaganda campaign going! – against those marching for an end to the slaughter and destruction and devastation in Gaza:
Pro-Palestine protesters are turning London into a ‘no-go zone for Jews’, claims Britain’s counter-extremism tsar as he blasts the Government for letting extremists go ‘unchallenged for too long’
Is anyone aware of who these extremists are, and what it is they’ve done, that the Government have allowed to go unchallenged for too long? No?, neither am I! It’s all a massive fiction, and on a par with the sort of thing the Nazis did. And needless to say, this is just a ruse that Sunak and Co have contrived with the so-called counter-extremism tsar, so as to up the ante. It’s so goddamned transparent it’s a joke!
I haven’t checked out the comments yet – the TOP-rated comments, that is – but no doubt they’ll be reinforcing this massive big lie and gargantuan deception, but then there is a video included oddly enough (about 4 mins) in which demonstrators/marchers give their response to being demonised as extremists, which is worth a look:

Some students had orange squash thrown at them.
It’s getting like Orgreave down t’smoke.
Good riddance to nuclear warmonger Theresa May:

It’s the fish cycling our expensive stat of the art subs, that have most to fear from our nukes.
Circling not cycling, bloody machine. Mind you wasn’t there that feminist joke about women needing men like fish need bicycles?
It goes without saying, that forces on the left and those who want PR, will not forgive former leaders who dont stand up and be counted
JC does not get to play the only virgin in the whorehouse, for the love of God man, get your hands dirty and fight like a plausible Genocide depends on it
The Most Dangerous Thing In The Western Hemisphere
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/unrwa-report-says-israel-coerced-some-agency-employees-to-falsely-admit-hamas-links/ar-BB1jzR5h
“The document said several UNRWA Palestinian staffers had been detained by the Israeli army, and added that the ill-treatment and abuse they said they had experienced included severe physical beatings, waterboarding, and threats of harm to family members.
“Agency staff members have been subject to threats and coercion by the Israeli authorities while in detention, and pressured to make false statements against the Agency, including that the Agency has affiliations with Hamas and that UNRWA staff members took part in the 7 October 2023 atrocities,” the report says……
…… In addition to the alleged abuse endured by UNRWA staff members, Palestinian detainees more broadly described allegations of abuse, including beatings, humiliation, threats, dog attacks, sexual violence, and deaths of detainees denied medical treatment, the UNRWA report said.”
As someone by the name of Remi Brulin observed on Twitter:
“We tortured some folks” is pretty bad
“We tortured some folk so we could destroy a huge relief organization that’s indispensable in dealing with a huge humanitarian crisis that we created in the first place” is…. something else”
Yet, this is largely ignored by the Western Political and media class in favour of creating what is in fact an antisemitic hue and cry which amounts to portraying all members of the Jewish community considered to be the only legitimate Jews as Zionists via banned headlines about “no go areas” for such defined Zionists.
Is it not the case that an occupier has to pay reparations for the destruction and slaughter of the occupied lands and people
Would limit what constitutes Self Defence, an eye for an eye, a house for a house
Totally off-topic – sorry- but it appears that met police officers are suing over trauma suffered by responding to the tragedy at grenfell tower.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68529159
Personally I’d boot it out immediately. Sadly, I’m not the law and I’m in no doubt they’ll get their bunce pdq – unlike the actual victims
. It’s a fucking compensation gravy train when you’re plod. The only profession I know where you can take six months off on the sick AND claim for a f’king papercut ffs
The fire bobbies deserve everything they got. THEY suffered. In my opinion, plod are just carpetbagging off the back of a tragedy.
I mean, I watched it unfold live on the TV. I was traumatised by it. Can I have some compo, please, yer honour?
Ffs. 😒
How long until one of them uses their ‘trauma’ as
an excusemitigation when they’re up on a disciplinary, or rarer still, a criminal charge?Have the IDF published their rules of engagement?

Jews committing Genocide
Is this even possible
An Al Jazeera investigation has found that some Israeli citizens who died in the October 7 attacks last year were almost certainly killed by the Israeli military.
The Investigative Unit has conducted an exhaustive review of videos, photographs, witness testimony and other evidence from the day.
It concluded that Israeli civilians – being held captive – were fired on by helicopter gunships attacking cars returning to Gaza.
