Netanyahu and Biden governments in meltdown again as three countries bypass US veto and declare Palestine a state

The US and Israeli governments have reacted with fury to announcements by three European governments, at the same time, that they are recognising Palestinian statehood. Ireland, Norway and Spain have all now formally declared Palestine to be a state.

Claim of ‘forty beheaded babies’ is the tip of the iceberg for the media manufacturing consent for Israel.

Almost every day I wonder if I am living in a parallel reality where decisions and action are taken that are totally at odds with my perception of what is just, right, good and truthful. Now seems to be a time where this is overwhelming. I also wonder how many others feel like this on masto and if it is one of the drivers to come onto here and leave other platforms?

But it's not all about abolishing things, Labour will continue:

Trident
Rape clause
Genocide
Tory austerity
Supporting big business
NHS pivatisation
Unfair tax burden
Grant new oil and gas licences in the North Sea
Keep the Lords
Keep unfair benefit system
Starving kids at lunchtime

In this election you must vote for the party who are best for the majority in Scotland and that is certainly not the Tories or the other Tory party, Labour!

As a former lifelong trade-union activist, former Labour party member and council candidate and founder of the Anti-poll Tax Federation in Edinburgh, I will never vote Labour again as long as I shall live, over the deeply shameful way the former workers' party has supported the murder, torturing and maiming of innocent children, women and men in Gaza and the West Bank. Starmer et al are complicit in every action if the Israeli State, the IDF and the armed settlers.

So Kid Starver states he will only recognise Palestine as a state when Israel does! Not official Labour Party policy but that doesn't stop the centre-right autocrat from ditching all morality in favour of cozying up to Daily Vile readers!

Tories suffer two election defeats in by-elections to Labour in England but by small margins compared to the whopping majorities the Tories had. Not as secure as might be as could have been and therefore not a huge mandate for Starmer and Reform's performance is worrying too.

"We are proud that 90,000 children in Scotland are being lifted out of poverty this year by Scottish Government policies like the £25 per week Scottish Child Payment, free bus travel for young people and an expanding programme of free school meals, all funded by the most progressive taxation system anywhere in the UK.

In stark contrast to what we see at Westminster, these are the actions of a government committed to building a fairer Scotland.

Remind any of your friends considering voting Labour in Scotland ...

"LABOUR MPS HAVE ACCEPTED OVER £280,000 FROM ISRAEL LOBBY

Twenty percent of Labour’s sitting MPs have been funded by pro-Israel groups or individuals – including 15 who have been directly funded by the Israeli state."

What is the Israeli State getting in return? Isn't it an MPs job to represent their constituents?

Starmer: stopping killing in Gaza might lead to more violence but keeping bombing brings peace.

Keir Starmer, the hollowed-out shell of a man currently masquerading as leader of the Labour party, has said he ‘understands’ calls for a ceasefire, but can’t agree with them.
