  • Keir Starmer under pressure to agree exit plan after election mauling

  • Her heart's not in it apparently:

    Well, put it this way, if 81, and I think I’m allowed to count myself, if 80 members of parliament give me their name by Monday, I think that qualifies me to go onto a list of some sort. I haven’t actually even looked at the rules because I don’t actually want to do this. I want the people who have been planning this for years to do it.

    Jump

  • But are there any current MPs who can get the 20% support needed in the PLP to start a leadership contest? Starmer seems determined to not stand aside, so they're going to have to remove him. Burnham could probably do it, but that'd require him getting back to Westminster somehow.

  • British newspapers antisemitic cartoons of Zack Polanski

    Jump

  • They have nothing to do with any of these newspapers. I'm not even sure they have anything to do with the Mirror anymore.

  • I found the same, but that's not really enough to describe the Murdochs as being a Jewish family. It's frankly antisemitic to baselessly say a major media mogul is Jewish.

  • The Telegraph isn't.

    Edit: also, I couldn't find any accounts of Murdoch being Jewish?

  • Reform UK Candidate Shared Antisemitic and Anti-Muslim Posts And Campaigned for Far-Right Restore Britain

  • Yes. Are you done deflecting for Reform?

  • Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be British Red Cross spokesperson, charity says

    Jump

  • I've never seen him claim to be a spokesperson for them and he doesn't claim to be one in the example in the article. Not saying he didn't, but if he did then it's poor journalism not quoting it in the article.

  • Green Party candidate: ‘Jewish Nazis’ are ‘money grubbing thieves’

    Jump

  • Update: Support has been revoked:

    Newcastle Green Party are appalled by the racist material written by Tina Ion, one of the Green Party candidates for Blakelaw and Cowgate.

    This case was referred to the Green Party's disciplinary process as soon as we became aware of the material. Furthermore, Newcastle Green Party has withdrawn support for the candidate in the upcoming election.

    An urgent review of our vetting process is taking place to ensure all of our candidates reflect our views as an anti-racist party.

    We sincerely apologise for the distress this has caused, in particular, to the Jewish community who are already experiencing a shocking rise in antisemitism and targeted attacks.

    Antisemitism and hate should have no place in our party or society.

  • What's the point being made here?

  • Green Party candidate: ‘Jewish Nazis’ are ‘money grubbing thieves’

    Jump

  • Yeah, it'd be nice if Polanski could come out with a stronger statement about antisemitic candidates than this. I don't know if publicly rebuking Ali is the right move though, but something should be done. One of the deputy leaders saying the disciplinary process has been weaponised and telling them to seek legal advice (TERF tactics) while they have ongoing cases just isn't a very good look.

  • Green Party candidate: ‘Jewish Nazis’ are ‘money grubbing thieves’

    Jump

  • I hate to deflect with procedure, but Polanski genuinely has little-to-no power in deciding or suspending candidates. The disciplinary process is laid out here. Given the Newcastle Greens said they applied to the GPC (Green Party Council, I think the article got this wrong) that likely means they applied for a no-fault suspension, which would get this person immediately barred from all party activities. This is the same process as when the Brighton Greens suspended Tony Greenstein.

  • 'Industrial scale' solar farms attacked by Norfolk's Green

    Jump

  • "The basic thing is that these shocking schemes are [proposed by] foreign investors looking to make a profit out of our ridiculous energy prices," said Rowett.

    "It's a huge profit margin for those who can get some renewable energy from our sunshine and take the profits offshore."

    True and she's right to say it.

    She said countryside solar schemes should be smaller and locally operated, and called for a stronger drive for solar panels to be installed on rooftops of public and private buildings instead.

    I doubt this would bring in close to what we'd need even if we do it on every building nationally. But heaven forbid we change the landscape to combat climate change.

    East Pye has faced strong opposition from politicians in the other main parties on the council including the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Reform UK.

    All local parties are NIMBY or something.
