    50% of British voters think that Israel is committing genocide.

    Just 17% disagree.

    55% think the UK should no longer consider Israel an ally.

    15% think the UK should be an ally of Israel.

    That's the latest YouGov polling.

    Support for Israel is a fringe position in Britain.

    Wes Streeting has been made Defence Secretary.

    In his released correspondence with Peter Mandelson, he said:

    “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes.”

    Journalists should ask him:

    1) Does he stand by that?

    2) What legal obligations does the UK therefore have?

    Could Nigel Farage’s political career be destroyed by a man in a bin?

    I was Binface-sceptic - now I’ve got the zealotry of the convert.

    Clacton needs to be flooded with door knockers.

    If all the people who oppose Farage vote for Count Binface, then he would win.

    Israel is deliberately killing Palestinian children.

    Not by accident.

    Not recklessly.

    On purpose.

    The evidence is absolutely overwhelming 👇

    This is infuriating crap.

    He says:

    “There's increasing evidence that war crimes appear to have been committed.”

    He knows Israel has committed war crimes on an industrial scale.

    He’s refusing to say so because it would impose legal obligations on him to actually act.

    Cutting back the welfare state in favour of bombs is a disastrous mistake.

    Appointing John Healey as Chancellor is a big red flag.

    There's no evidence he supports any sort of transformative economic agenda.

    He does support hiking diverting money from the NHS, education and frontline services in favour of bombs, though!

    The truth is - the British media made him.

    In sum - this isn’t a statement aimed at taking action on Israel’s genocide.

    It’s a statement aimed at appeasing a domestic electoral audience.

    But there are those of us who actually think Palestinians matter.

    Finally - he says the courts will decide if Israel has committed war crimes.

    Could a political journalist actually do their job and ask him if he says the same about Russia?
