Fadi Wahidi (24) always dreamed of becoming a photojournalist. He worked tirelessly to cover the Gaza genocide He's now in a coma fighting for his life, after the IDF shot him in the neck, causing a rupture in the cervical vertebrae. If he lives, he'll suffer permanent paralysis

In 2016 tens of thousands of labour members asked why their ballots in the leadership election had not arrived. Eventually they found out they had been excluded, suspended & votes removed by the procedures committee which Tom Watson sat on.

Margaret Thatcher regarded section 28 as getting rid of ‘woke’. Just remember that when people label your fight for equality as woke.

Funnily enough on the doorstep people are calling for a GE because they are deeply angry about public service cuts & fact Govt can shake the magic money tree for Brexit - but not public services, NHS, transport, benefits for disability & all we have lost to unnecessary Austerity

5. Jeremy Corbyn resigned in December 19, Jennie Formby was clearly not wanted by the new administration. But she left the party with 27 million in the bank, 13.5 million in reserves and a steady income each month from 500,000 plus members committed to supporting lab with £.

I am disgusted by the abuse in social media of Shami Chakbrarti. This has been ongoing for years. Today is no exception, it’s based on scurrilous gossip. Where are the calls for it to be stopped? It is not acceptable to harass women of labour in this way.

There is one thing about Jeremy Corbyn that cannot be denied, he is consistent in condemning violence & calling for peace. That is more than can be said for Starmer who is not consistent but a perpetual U turner. And that is the view of many.

Amazing that some are shouting so loud because Diane Abbot said I blame his mum for calling him Keir (look at the context it’s about expectation on him) yet stayed silent about the vile abuse dished out at Diane. You’ve either got standards that apply to all or you have none.

Stanley Johnson like his boy, has no idea what it’s like working in a shop faced with those that will not wear a mask. How does this government expect these staff - mostly on minimum wage to deal with this. They can’t and so it continues & so the risk to retail staff grows.

How can those responsible for the public purse, that allocate £5 an hour to those on minimum wage, rob 50s born women of their promised pension, give £7,360 a day to mess up the countries priority of Test & Trace? And how come they are getting away with cronyism? It stinks.

So in Starmer’s Labour you cannot support left wing Jewish folk nor share a platform with them or Jeremy Corbyn but can take top level advice, be photographed with & defend Mandelson. Epstein scandals known for decades. Not even the staunchest ally can say Starmer didn’t know

I’d rather have one Jeremy Corbyn than every Conservative MP in Westminster. He’s got more principles & values than the lot of them. They can of course correct that by laying off the insults. What other politician gives solutions to our problems? All we get is cheap insults.

Today on #Marr for the Tories is Liam Fox. Not many people know he over-claimed £22,476 expenses for mortgage interest payments. Easily done, of course. Then there was £19,000 worth of mobile phone bills and 3p for a 100 metre car trip, all paid for by you.

As a soldier’s daughter & mother of a soldier son I am delighted that Labour under Jeremy Corbyn will put right decades of neglect of armed service families. I’ve lived the experience of forgotten families who when illness strikes are dumped with no thought.

Jeremy Corbyn gets it. Sensible, needed policies for the many. Be clear the more you name check & smear him the more the backlash & support grows. If he’s so unimportant why do party leaders & their mates constantly refer to him? Genuine question.

Solidarity with @IanByrneMP . An incredible MP, who has campaigned tirelessly for his constituents, including on the right to food and urgent action on the cost of living crisis. Labour is a stronger party for his dedication — he needs our support to continue his work.
